Venture Capitalist Invests in Zorro’s Zecurity
Cash has found a venture capitalist willing to invest. “A very distinguished dog,” said Cash, “he is also a friend of mine, and prepare for this: he is the President of the Pedigree Club!” Curtains. Toff is Zorro’s worst enemy. Cash did not notice Zorros apprehension and continued excitedly “he has made tons on money … Continue reading Venture Capitalist Invests in Zorro’s Zecurity
Zorro is Taking Lots of Calls
Zorro does not have much time for Loba and me anymore, his phone is constantly ringing. It is all the venture capitalists lining up to invest in Zorro’s Zecurity. That is what Zorro says. A particular dog is very insistent, but he won’t say his name. Zorro showed me the phone so I could read … Continue reading Zorro is Taking Lots of Calls
Venture Capitalist Needed
The board at Zorros’ Zecurity has decided to follow Cash’s advice and spend more to generate profits. Dear Diary, I always wonder who is on the board. I know it is not anyone that does core business work. I think it is Goldie herself (a therapy dog and HR manager), Cash (an economist), Chat (the … Continue reading Venture Capitalist Needed
Instadog
Dear Diary, Loba, Zorro, Kara and I were very pleased seeing Misty on Earth, posting photos on Instadog. (Misty is the dog Mom and Dad adopted after I passed to Heaven). Misty is living the high life. She is allowed on the settee, which I was not, and she is wearing my sweater. I guess … Continue reading Instadog
Decisive Actions at Zorro’s Zecurity
There has been a meeting at Zorro’s Zecurity that only the board and senior managers were allowed to attend. I just happened to be in the office working overtime and overheard the discussions. Goldie said that the company was in good shape, but just in case something bad would happen and the company would go … Continue reading Decisive Actions at Zorro’s Zecurity
Can’t Fail Economic Plan
Cash, the economist dog, has laid out a plan to stimulate the economy and get Zorro’s Zecurity more solvent. “It is all about spending, you see,” said Cash. “You must spend to make money. Spend fast and furious and everyone benefits. It works like this: A business owner, like Zorro right here in Zorro’s Zecurity, … Continue reading Can’t Fail Economic Plan
Crisis Management at Zorro’s Zecurity
Some of us have been called by Goldie to be instructed in crisis management. Finally, I thought, we will deal with the company problems, stop the senseless spending, improve services and focus on our jobs. Something like that. This is what we were instructed to do: Always protect the image of the company. Never admit … Continue reading Crisis Management at Zorro’s Zecurity
Virus In the Office
Dear Diary, we had to close the office for a few days, all the dogs were getting sick with stomach ailments. A doctor traced it to the communal eating bowls, a sick dog started the epidemic. Goldie took strong action and removed the communal bowls. Now, everyone has to bring their own bowl and food … Continue reading Virus In the Office
Spokes Dog
After the theft, (and there have been a few more) Zorros Zecurity is receiving a lot of negative comments and critique and Goldie is tired of answering difficult questions. She is hiring a Spokes Dog that will be the public front of the company. After reviewing many resumes, where Goldie rejected any dog with actual … Continue reading Spokes Dog
Logo Change
Goldie has decided that Zorro’s Zecurity’s problems are due to the logo. It is two black Z next to each other on an orange background. ‘”We need a modern approach, we must be greener,” said Goldie. She called all the best corporate designers to submit their suggestions. Zorro was disturbed, but he did not protest. … Continue reading Logo Change

Angel Dog Diary 
Hey
I have worked in animal rescue for 30 years, for the International League for the Protection of Horses, Redwings, Galway SPCA and several other centres here in Ireland. Over that period I have collected my favourite dog poems into a book. These poems are more like dog short stories. They’re fun, they’re sad, they’ll break your heart, they’ll make you smile. Few people reading these poems will cast a cold eye on a dog ever again.
For dog lovers, these are just what the vet ordered. For non-dog lovers, they have the power to convert, by changing hearts and minds, by providing insight into the lives of Our Best Friends!
Please give them a mention on your blog. And please consider me for an author interview (although I’m not really an author, I just compiled them, because I believe them to be the best dog stories ever written).
