I’ve never really got “personal” on the VerticalResponse
blog but today I'm in. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve had to spend days working at Starbuck’s for an icky reason. The reason is that our basset hound Stanley was diagnosed with a pretty gnarly cancer late last year and we’ve been giving him chemotherapy in an attempt to shrink it enough to take it out.
Since where we have to go is pretty far from home, we sit, drink coffee, work and wait for the little guy. (For all of you nay-saying Starbucks folks, I think I’d have to drive for hours to find a coffee shop that’s not owned by a chain ☹ If someone can find me one by Westfield Shopping Town in the South Bay and they have internet, I’m in.)
Well two weeks ago Stan had his surgery and I’m happy to say he’s jumping around happy as can be and is back to healthy. Who knows if it’s going to rear it’s ugly head again but for now you’ll find the popular little guy who you can see in the VR ad campaign sticking his head in the garbage cans of the VR employees making a mess!
Tell me what you think of the ads Alf and team designed! Got any ideas of better ones?




I hope Stanley is OK. He is beautiful!
