Goodbye Odin. Hello Roz. Plus Duncan’s Still Here

Goodbye Odin Tyvlytter. We miss you terribly. We are very sad to report the death of Odin, one of our canine employees. As a blue merle Cardigan Welsh Corgi, he was hard-working, loyal and reliable. He came to work virtually every day for ten seasons. He might not have been quite as reliable as The Iron Man, but he came close. For the last few years, Odin had mentored Duncan, a Golden Doodle with long legs and a bubbly personality. Duncan now gets to mentor the newest canine addition to the office staff, Rosalind Franklin. Rosalind’s name, by the way, is a nod to an important but often overlooked scientist who made terrific contributions to chemistry and biology in a tragically short career. Talking about dogs makes us think (and talk) about Wyatt Earp, the first full-time office corgi. We miss him, too. Fortunately, Roz is so enthusiastic about everything that she and Duncan keep us focused on the present. Maybe you’d like to come by and meet this dynamic duo. Bring your own treats, or borrow some from us. Goodbye, Odin. You were a terrific companion. When you first arrived, we knew you wouldn’t likely outlive us. But it’s still hard to lose a beloved pet.
