"Blitz", as he was affectionately known by his co-workers, came to the firm in December 2000 as a Christmas present from Santa Paws. He was a full-bred, red brush coat Shar-Pei. During the time he was with us, Blitz injected his own element of humanity into the work environment by ensuring three exercise breaks per day, making us laugh at his antics, and generally keeping us from getting too full of ourselves. Blitz died unexpectedly in September 2004 of kidney disease - not a day goes by that we don't think about this sweet boy and appreciate him for turning Rod into a "dog person." We feel blessed to have him for the short time that we did.

If you ever wondered whether a dog had a soul, you only needed to look into Blitzen's eyes to see it. Below are some pictures we would like to share with our friends and web site visitors.
