Our business is growing fast
Pip our advertising dog wishes to welcome aboard our precious new addition Otto Van Koot. At present Otto is confined to Elusion's office and home but one day he is hopeful of being able to go on dump and recycle runs with Pip and Dad (Patrick). Currently he is a lot of work and has so much to learn about being a business dog...he is more interested in cuddles with the family and saving Mum some washing by chewing Dads socks at the end of the day as soon as the boots come off. He is however eagerly watching all the training videos with the family so he can learn very fast. He is also loving all the smells Dad brings home on his work clothes of the big wide world and all our clients pets Dad cant help but pat.
