| Description:
Greetings! It’s me, Janis, and I’m the Pawsonality of the Month because I am just about the most welcoming collie you will ever meet. My foster mom says that if I wasn’t busy being this month’s Pawsonality, I could be a greeter at Walmart. I’m not sure what a Walmart is, but I do know that there is nothing I like better than meeting people, giving them a winning smile and making them feel loved.
I take my “greeting” responsibilities very seriously. First thing every morning, I wait quietly until my foster mom’s alarm clock has gone off, and then I’m right there with my happy-to-see-you face. Another important duty when you are a greeter is to be ready to welcome your family home the minute they step in the door. If they have had a bad day, it’s my job to make all the bad stuff melt away with a smile and a wag. It’s also important for a greeter to know who to greet and how to greet them. Foster mom says I would make a great watchdog, because when someone comes to the door that doesn’t belong to the family, I greet them with my “I’m-a-really-huge-and-ferocious-guard-dog” bark. Of course I’m not really that huge and I’m not at all ferocious, but when they hear my booming bark, they don’t know that. I’m versatile. When you’re a world class greeter like me, you want to share your talent with everyone, not just your family. My foster mom says I would be great at visiting nursing homes or children’s hospitals. I think I would love that, because those places can be kind of depressing, but no one can stay depressed when they have been greeted by me. I just look up at folks with my big brown eyes and my loving smile and they automatically feel better. Well, that’s me – Janis. Unlike that Lassie dog, I can’t rescue kids from wells or summon help when someone is in a collapsed mine shaft. But if you’re grumpy because you have to get up early, or if you’ve had a bad day at the office, or if you’re feeling sad or lonely, no one can warm your heart or make you smile like I can. And when you think about it, how often do you really need to get pulled out of well? |
