Pets on the Payroll
Jennifer Polanz
They keep coming and we keep running ’em! Behold, Thor, with the thunderous paws (that’s how he got his name). From Vicki at The Red Shed Garden & Gifts in Baraboo, Wisconsin, where the mighty Thor works customer service: “Thor is usually the first to greet our customers at the store. He is very enthusiastic at his job!
“He has made Employee Of The Month for the last 12 months and still running. Some customers stop just to say hello to Thor! He is a bit of a local legend here. He’s up to any challenge at the store, and when he’s at home, he still runs the place there, too,” said Michelle Glaser, Thor’s mommy.
Thank you, Vicki! And if you’d like to submit your garden center pet, email me at jpolanz@ballpublishing.com. GP
