Oliver

Let’s just be honest: Oliver the mini dachshund’s title might be Chief of Staff, but in reality he is top brass, middle management, the welcome wagon, office security, emotional support puppy, shoelace/button/pant leg chewer and lunchtime supervisor. He takes his role as the Welcome Wagon seriously. If you walk through the door, know you are there for no other reason than to pet him, rub his tummy, play, throw a toy and sneak him a snack. He doesn’t really care why you came in, you’re now his best friend and as such, must fulfill your role of aforementioned duties.

Oliver insists on being involved in everything:  meetings, snacks, hallway conversations, snacks, mail deliveries, snacks -  you name it, he must be involved, preferably with snacks. If it’s happening, he must be consulted (or at least in the room with a toy and a snack).

When he isn’t demanding attention or staring directly into your soul for a treat, you’ll find him curled up in his “office” by the window monitoring productivity between naps. He’s bossy, he’s nosy, he is demanding of snuggles and snacks and somehow he is still everyone’s favorite coworker and team member at MEIA.
