Research Doxie

Hello, it’s me!

Here’s something for you to chew on. All too often us pups are depicted in unacceptable situations, #amirite?

But Geico flipped the script, so to speak, with their new marketing campaign.

Yup, us doxies finally get our due, and we’re portrayed as research-centric pups who care about improving civilization.

Now, in the spirit of full disclosure, I’m not all that into spending an hour on a treadmill while a researcher taps data into a touch-screen monitor.

But if we’re talking about studying whether ping pong balls adhere to a blueberry-colored sark, well sure, I’ll co-sign for that one. And what in the name of all that is holy is attached to the head of the co-worker in this image?

All good things must come to an end … and this doxie offers no exception as he belly-aches about the length of this filming session.

Regardless, Geico captures the essence of the “Research Doxie” … I encourage you to immediately give up your long-established relationship with your current insurance provider and instead consider working with a forward thinking brand like Geico.

 

Just Waiting on a Friend

Hello. It’s me!

Waiting. That’s what I’m doing these days.

Waiting for Mom’s wrist to heal so that we can do stuff.

Sometimes her wrist hurts, and I feel bad for Mom.

I try to do something to get the time to go by faster.

I get so bored waiting for a normal environment that I just ask Dad if I can sit outside in glorious 80 degree temperatures.

Maybe … just maybe … my best friend will show up!

Therapy-wise, Mom goes twice a week to get her range of motion back in her wrist. Once that returns, she’ll work on restoring strength. She can already grasp a big beverage with my likeness …

Mom and Dad also participate in other forms of therapy …

So that’s the way things are going here during the past month … quite honestly like the Rolling Stones, I’m just waiting on a friend.
