Meet Douglas…
Woof! Hi, I’m Douglas. I was homeless and abandoned before Liz picked me up from Pet Rescue six months ago. I was just a pup then and very underweight. Now I’m a big boy – I am 7 months old, much healthier and I couldn’t be happier! I love watching my best friend work while I sit on my own office chair. Liz often holds webinars with video and I feel like a star as the VAs see me sitting behind her. While I like to think of myself as “Mr Cool”, I am known around the network as Liz’s supervisor. Besides watching out for Liz, I also make sure she takes much-needed breaks during the day. We often go for a run around and play outside. The exercise not only helps Liz clear her mind but I know it is a good way to help control her diabetes. I love having fun and know how lucky I am to be saved as a puppy. If I could give just one piece of business advice it would be “Never get so busy making a living, that you forget to make a life!”
