We have a new team member here at the pottery, Shyla the German Shepherd puppy!
If you’ve been following us for any amount of time, you know that we love our pets here at the pottery and even have a line of nontoxic pet dishes.
Our newest team member insisted on introducing herself, so we sat down with her for a Q & A.
My name is Shyla! Just one name. I am the Cher of the pottery studio.
It's really not polite to ask. And a girl doesn't like to tell her age but I am 12 weeks old.
Bedford, Virginia
I don’t remember them much, but I have an older brother, Dallas, who is slowly learning to love me.
The neighbor’s cows! There’s another doggo who lives down the street that gets to chase cows all day. I just want to run over there and chase them too.
Well… Sometimes not so good, but I’m learning fast!
I can sit! Just for a few seconds though... but I like to think I am a multi-tasker. That occasionally is misinterpreted as not listening and just being a goofball.
Treats!
I can never have too many bones!
I'm a big fan of Snoop Dogg and Snarky Puppy.
...sometimes I bark at new people.
I’m still pretty new, so I’m shadowing everyone for the moment! Sometimes I help with inventory in the warehouse, and other times, I sneak naps while my mom is working (don’t tell!).
I love it when new people come to visit, especially the UPS driver!
How can I choose? Well, I guess it really depends on who gives me the most head scratches… or treats. Bonus points if they do both.
Darn Skippy, I do. You could too. Come work with me. If you are in the Bedford, VA area then call my secretary and let's set something up.
I’m not pawsitive about this, but I think I might be promoted to a decorator. The boss told me I’d do great with painting Pet Dishes!
Does Elena count? She paints such pretty flowers on all of the pottery.
Being outside! The pottery is in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the property has great views of the mountains and nature. I love chasing my work friends, Jesse, Dallas, and Stormi, around in the big grassy fields and spying on the neighbors cows.
Any day with treats and belly rubs is a good day! But I think the perfect day has a good mix of work and play. I’ll help the others greet the UPS driver and make sure to inspect the pottery before it goes in the kiln. Then, I like to find a nice quiet spot to curl up and take a nap or explore around the property.
I want to be a big dog like Dallas and Jessie!
