The Gardiner Gazette, Fall 2014
A Gazette Shaggy Dog Story by Carol O’Biso
Cute Isn’t she? Her name is Gracie and she wasn’t so cute when she ate the check of one of our new advertisers. No, it couldn’t be a trusty old advertiser; it had to be someone who had decided to place an ad for the very first time. Gracie is the four month old Golden Doodle puppy of the Gazette’s General Manager and Treasurer (full disclosure: that’s me) who was forced to do the
unthinkable—call the advertiser and effectively say, “The dog ate my homework.” (On hearing this story Town Supervisor Carl Zatz said, “Somebody used that? I wouldn’t even use that if it were true.”) Gracie was spared the rod because she’s a puppy and that’s what puppies do (and then there are those goo-goo eyes!) but the Gazette’s General Manager and Treasurer was sternly advised by the Editorial Committee to stop using the dog as assistant treasurer. An agreement to this effect has been reached. Gracie will now serve in an advisory capacity only. Back Comment
