I have been contacted by a lawyer called “The Slammer” and he has filed a class action lawsuit against Zorro. Over 300 Chihuahuas are suing him for property claims and alimony. The Slammer wants to share out Zorros kennel, toys, food supplies and the Mustang to the plaintiffs that say that they married Zorro and have a prenup promising them these things in case of divorce. First, I got really alarmed and wondered what Zorro has been up to, but after sorting the papers, I noticed that all Chihuahuas only had three names: Lola, Peach and Tinkerbell, 100 claims each. Tinkerbell has included a pic ..read more

Today was a nightmare. As Zorros lawyer, I had to explain to three different very angry Chihuahuas that their prenups were invalid. They were yapping and waving papers in my face. They also yapped at each other. The Chihuahuas had Zorro’s paw print on a paper that gave them the right to Zorros kennel and half food supplies in case of a divorce. Zorro has been married to Loba for a long time and he cannot possibly legally remarry. Well, Loba lives in the kennel and she has no intention of moving out or sharing any food bowls with Chihuahuas. Zorro says he can’t read and just put his paw print o ..read more

Zorro is in a bad mood because he is worried about his T-levels. Loba and I are making him lots of cups of tea, but he never drinks it. We can’t make that guy happy ..read more

“You select contractors on one criterion: the lowest price,” said Hubris. “But should you not do some quality checks,” asked a well-groomed Saluki. “I think one should pay for quality, I for example pay for quality grooming.” “No,” answered Hubris, “in business, you set out the demands in the bid document and then give the contract to the lowest bidder. If they say they can move a mountain, close your eyes and ears and let them have the job. If they break a few laws, it is their problem! If the contractor whines and wants more time or money, tell them there are others who want the job. This is ..read more

Zorro is diligently going to his weekly classes at Backward Business School. He says he is learning a lot. Today he learned about sticking to core business. “A business should stick to its core activities,” lectured Hubris. “These would be Senior management, Doggy Resources, Payroll, Legal, Offices, Community interactions, Conferences, Meetings etc. This is what corporations are good at, everything else should be contracted out.” The inquisitive Newfoundlander raised his paw: “But what you list is only administration, there is no business. Do you mean that these services should be kept in-hous ..read more

Dear Diary, Loba shared with me a letter she got from an anxious dog mom. She wanted me to help her write the answer. Dear Aunt Loba, please help me with my unruly pups. They are 6 months old, and they do not want to rest in their pen together in peace, but are constantly barking, whining, fighting and climbing on the structure. When they are let out, they don’t sleep on the sofa but bite, chew and scratch everything! All the furniture is destroyed. I am beside myself; do you think my pups have ADHD? Do I need to get them on medication? Please help. Signed: Exhausted and Bewildered Mom. This i ..read more
