What an Awesome Puppy

Well, another whirlwind week has come and gone (maybe two). I got to go to Florida for work, so for the first three days this week, Mariko was home practicing being in her kennel. Last week was incredibly busy; but she was with me practicing her skills.

One of these skills is that she thinks, if she has something in her mouth, it's okay to pet her, even thought she's working. This is something we are working on, but she makes me laugh with this thought process.

When she realizes that she is not going to get her way, back under my desk she goes:

 

Last week was packed with meetings again, so Thursday evening when we are at work until about 8 p.m., we decided to sneak away and grab a sandwich and enjoy an hour of down time:

Oh my gosh, this puppy does love her cradle and massage. 

The end of a very busy week, we both had an opportunity to sit and visit with a fellow co-worker. I'm not sure if Mariko understood that it was about time to go home, or that it wasn't a formal business meeting, but she took the opportunity to enjoy a foot pillow after a very LONG week:

 

We are back to work and Mariko is on her best behavior again.
