People Behind the Paw: Bruce in Marketing
- Bruce and Ginger enjoy the sunshine!
Bruce has been part of Pet Care for 12 years.
1. What pets share your life?
My life is blessed with Ginger (a 10 year old Yellow Lab), Carly, Lucy and Buffy (11 year old cats – litter mates) and Azula (a 4 year old Blue-Fronted Amazon Parrot). I’ve had animals all my life and can’t imagine what it would be like without them – probably lonely and a lot less fun!
2. What is the funniest thing your pet has ever done?
After 10 years, Ginger (our yellow lab) still thinks the couch is her spot – though apparently only when no human is around. It’s been years since I’ve actually caught her on the couch, but the blonde hair says otherwise. Somehow she ALWAYS is sitting or standing by the couch when we come in the family room. If only she guarded the house with as much vigilance!
3. What’s your favorite story about pets in the office?
Many companies participate in “take your dog to work day” every year … but we get to do that every day! In fact on the actual day of the annual event, we’ve sometimes have to coordinate who is not bringing their dog so we don’t have too many show up. It’s great to get to know everyone’s pet … it’s just another way to know their people better.
4. What is your favorite part of working at Pet Care?
I’ve worked long enough that it takes more than a paycheck to motivate me – it takes working for something I believe in. Our on-going commitment to the overall health and well-being of pets … to the best nutrition for them … and to be the voice of dogs & cat wellness in the world, motivates me and all the people I get to work with to do our best for our own dogs & cats and eveyone else’s too – I know that makes a BIG difference.
