Ever wondered what your dog was thinking? Us too! So this week we finally decided to sit down and just ask them. Keep reading on to see TRIO dogs answer the important questions in life!
Dog: Kacie Abigail
Owner: Alyssa Gipper, Marketing Assistant
Q: Hi Kacie! So excited to sit down and finally talk to you. I know you’re a busy dog, so first question, how would you describe yourself?
A: hey my name is Kacie Abigail. For sum reason, my family calls me Kacie Boogers. they’re all a buncha weirdooos, believe me, im the normal one. My human sistr, Alyssa, told me that im adopted. I cried. When I asked my mom about it she told me it was true, that I came from the Amish. my family loves me so much tho, like a 'smother to death' kind of love. if i had to describe myself in two words they would be adorable n fantastic. I’m a pretty low key girl n don’t get excited about much. I’ve learned if I just lay around and be cute, my family comes to me, i never have to get up or move from my nappin spot. livin the dream.
Q: That sounds like a beautiful family. Kind of going off of that, do you have a name for your human and why?
A: i live in the country with my mom n dad, but my human sistr comes to visit me all the time. Sometimes i miss her, but then she comes home and lays on me n smothers me and gets really annoying really quick. On those days, i call her “that annoying blonde girl”
Q: Your sister, the annoying blonde girl, is the marketing assistant here at TRIO. If you had a job, what would it be?
A: i heard theres a job out there where you just get to taste food all day. Is that a reall thing? I like food... human food, treats, but my favorite is the dead animalls i find in the timber or in the yard. a good deer leg? mmmmm mmmm
Q: Your passion inspires us all. Next question, why are you so excited to eat the same food day after day for years?
A: i have to share food with a bunch of cats that live in my dog condo wit me. The cats go bonkers every mornin when my dad fills our food dish. i usually let them eat first and snack on my dead animal i saved from the day before
Q: Wonderful, wonderful. Finally Kacie, what is your purpose in life?
A: (“mom, what does purpose mean?” …. “oh ok”) my purpose in life is to make my family happy by being there for them. i know my mom and dad miss my 5 human siblings alot, sometimes my mom gets sad, so we hug alot and i do weird goofy stuff to make her laugh. “that annoying blonde girl” calls alot too and we talk on the phone, she’s okay i guess
Thank you so much for your time, Kacie! That was very insightful, and we hope you have a good life!
Dog: Drake
Owner: Emily Perry, Account Supervisor
Q: Hello Drake! So excited to finally get to know you as an individual. How would you describe yourself?
A: Mom would describe me as naughty... but I would say I am helpful! I help pick things up off the floor for her (like socks, gloves, papers, etc.) and run around until she gives me a treat. I am a very friendly, outgoing dog who enjoys meeting new people and making new dog friends!
Q: Wow, your owner must be so grateful for your help around the house. Do you have a name for your humans, and why?
A: Mommy and Daddy, because they baby me and spoil me constantly.
Q: Absolutely precious. Your mom, Emily Perry, is the Account Supervisor here at TRIO. If you had a job, what would it be?
A: I would be a model! My big smile and symmetrical markings make me very photogenic. Mom keeps saying it's about time for me to start contributing to the family... keep an eye out for me on stock photo websites!
Q: We definitely will be watching out for those stock photos! Next question, why are you so excited to eat the same food day after day for years?
A: I’m not, and recently I've been rebelling! Here's the secret... if you pretend to be disinterested in your food, your mom might put some parmesan cheese on it to make it tastier!
Q: I’m sure dogs all over the world are really going to appreciate that tip. Last question, what is your purpose in life?
A: To entertain my parents and provide them with kisses and cuddles at their demand! Also, to be a world champion tennis ball-fetcher!
Thank you for answering our questions, Drake! Good luck in all your future endeavors!
Dog: Gunner
Owner: Renee Schneider, President
Q: Hi Gunner! Now that you get to share your thoughts with the world, how would you describe yourself?
A: Sassy and free-spirited. I tend to talk to my family a lot (hey, I have a lot to say!) but sometimes it comes across like I am telling them off! Whoops!
Q: Hey freedom of speech, am I right? If you had a job, what would it be?
A: A hunter. Duh! I'd hunt anything really. Of course, my family has been in the pheasant hunting biz for generations, but I have been known to chase fish that I see swimming in the lake and I can track down deer antlers from miles around!
Q: Speaking of family, what is your name for your humans and why?
A: hmmm. I never really thought about it. Mom and Dad, I guess!
Q: Short and sweet, I like it. Next question, how are you so excited to eat the same food day after day for years?
A: My parents have taught me to eat a healthy balanced diet to maintain my slender figure. I don't really mind eating the same thing everyday because I often find snacks on the floor to crave my sweet tooth.
Q: Don’t we all. Finally, what is your purpose in life?
A: My purpose? It's to keep Lily's bed warm while she's at school and terrorize the chickens in the backyard. I live a simple, but fulfilling life.
Thank you for your time and for letting us into your beautiful brain, Gunner!
Dog: Rowdy
Owner: EJ Whitmer, Account Manager
Q: Hello, Rowdy! You’re definitely one of the strangest dogs we’ve met and we’re very anxious to finally find out why. How would you describe yourself?
A: Incredibly handsome, obviously. Humble, definitely. Energetic. Happy. Much smarter than the cat. Much cooler than the cat. Much prettier than the cat.
Q: Your mom EJ is the Account Manager here at TRIO. If you had a job, what would it be?
A: Is cuddling a job? Can I do that? Or … A competitive eater! Or … a tooth model. Because snaggle teeth and underbites are all the rage.
Q: What is your name for your human, and why?
A: Mommy! Because she loves me and holds me and feeds me and dresses me up and when Daddy works nights, she lets me sleep in bed with her and sets her alarm for ten minutes before Daddy gets home so she can send me to my kennel before we get caught!
Q: Why are you so excited to eat the same food day after day for years?
A: I had never known anything different. Kibble is bae. But then Mommy had a baby and what he steals from me in attention is returned to me in table scraps thrown from his high chair. Last night I had half a banana, tater tots, string cheese and alfredo noodles!
Q: Finally, what is your purpose in life?
A: Well, my Mommy hasn’t had to sweep her kitchen floors in months. That’s my job. Is it my purpose? Possibly. That combined with keeping laps warm and faces bathed in my slobber.
Thank you, Rowdy, for your time and strangeness. May you live long and prosper.
Dog: Cosmo
Owner: Julia Anderson, Account Coordinator
Q: Hey, Cosmo. You’re so quiet we sometimes forget you’re in the office. Now that you have a chance to voice up, would you like to describe yourself?
A: I’m a rather poised dog. I remain calm in all situations so the humans don't worry. You could call me the solid foundation of the Brownie family.
Q: What a noble calling. If you had a job, what would it be?
A: I do have a job. I take care of my human. She tends to forget about me but I mean who would supervise her eating and restroom habits if I weren't around. Lately, she's been rather selfish with her share of the bed, we are working on her training with that.
Q: Humans are rather stubborn creatures. What is your name for your human, and why?
A: People call my human Julia. I find that rather offensive as when I decided to guide her home that fateful day in the shelter I named her Brownie. Brownie not only sounds delicious, matches her appearance, but she eats a lot of them.
Q: Speaking of brownies, why are you so excited to eat the same food day after day for years?
A: Brownie mixes my food up monthly. Fish flavor, Beef flavor, Veggie flavor, it goes on. Wait are you saying dogs eat the same food EVERYDAY, those sad beings.
Q: Food is a privilege, isn’t it? Finally, what is your purpose in life?
My purpose, well let's ponder this a while.... Sleep, my purpose is to sleep, so she can sleep. I take care of her...Brownie that is.
Alright, Cosmo. Thank you so much for your nuggets of wisdom.
