The Tale of the Office Power Play

All well for two weeks, now an imposter not only lurks but perks the top spot in the office.

I thought the power plays in the corporate world were horrendous but nothing compared to the power plays of two part time pets in San Francisco.

When I first arrived little Sophie the lovingist little dog wanted to come and sit on my knee in the office. There just wasn't room, so I bought her groovy little growlie day bed in and put it beside me.

She was happy with that arrangement so long as she got the right amount of pats and attention throughout the day.

Marcel the very sweet natured three legged cat with a cone on his head was happy down in the lounge for ages.

Then one day he decided he'd get in on the office action when he figured out he could lay in the sun and get some of the extra attention too.

All went well with that arrangement for days on end.

In fact both would share the floor when the sun was in the exact right spot.

Then sweet and timid little Marcel who has been very quiet for the whole time just yesterday he stepped up and decided the growlie bed was for him, leaving Sophie out on the carpet.

Now there is a race for top spot.

Even though he's only got three legs - Marcel seems to be winning

But Sophie has fought back with a valiant strategy to achieve the sympathy vote .... she took up residence in my backpack.

The coaching lesson in all this:  with the right fire in your belly, anyone, despite their circumstances can claim their rightful place in the world, if they have the courage to make the move.

AND there is always a bigger bed ......... luckily big bro Luke has been at behavioural bootcamp while I've been here and his vacant bed has now been made available for Sophie allowing my KnoMo backpack to remain in its original shape. 

But we all know what's going to happen next ............ yep you guessed right!

The Power Play Continues.................



Love my part time pets!
