A Diamond in the Rough


Some dogs get to go to work with their owners. I don't go with Linda because there is way too much yelling and hitting in her TKD classes and the music is blasting in her group exercise classes. If she had a regular "day" job where she stood behind a counter or sat at a desk, it would be different and I would love to go with her. Soli, a dog from Maryland, goes to the jewelry store with her owner George. Soli just lolls around and sleeps behind the counters all day long. Pretty boring, except for the other day when a diamond dealer came into the store. The salesman was showing George a huge 3-carat $20,000 ring when oooops... the ring hit the floor. Soli thought it was a snack and gulped it right down. George had to scrutinize Soli's poop for 3 days before there was a glimmer of hope. The ring appeared and Soli was just fine. George washed the diamond off and gave the ring back to the dealer. I wonder if the dealer will tell the new owner about the rings adventure?
