Employee Name: Timber Pahl
Number of years of service at Pahl’s: 5 months
Briefly describe your job duties at Pahl’s:
I mostly chew on stuff and knock things over. Sometimes I get to ride on the forklift with Jack. I discovered snow for the first time and LOVE IT, so I make it a point to run and roll around in that several times a day. I think soon I will learn how to drive the tractors.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
Sometimes the market girls sneak me treats when Jack is not looking, they say it is because I am the cutest boy ever. I agree with them because it means more treats, so I really lay the cuteness on thick.
Tell us about your family.
Jack is the best! Gary loves me and I’ve worked my way into Jane’s heart too. Jamie says I’m a good boy, usually. I love jumping on uncle Chex and biting his ears, he growls at me but I know he secretly loves it.
What is your favorite time of day?
Breakfast! No wait, DINNER! No wait, treats! What was the question?
What is your favorite indoor/outdoor activity?
It really doesn’t matter if I am inside or outside. I like to chew, jump, run, bark and eat anything I can reach.
What is the farthest you have been away from home? Tell us the most unique experience from that trip?
I once rode in a house with thousands of balloons tied to it all the way to South America. I wore a special collar and could talk! Actually, that might have been a movie I watched.
What are three things on your “Bucket List” ?
Catch that squirrel
Roam the farm like my Uncle Chex
Learn something called “Get her Number”, Jack keeps shouting it at me and I don’t have a clue what he means.
What do you miss most about being a kid?
I am still a kid!
What was the first thing you bought with your own money?
What is money?
If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
I have learned so much already. I can sit, stay, lay down, shake paws. I’m still working on roll-over. The one lady in the market keeps telling me I am going to learn how to catch a Frisbee when it’s not so icy, that sounds fun.
If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?
Cash the check and then spread the bills all over and roll around in them and chew them up!
What song do you play the most often?
I Love My Dog by Cat Stevens
What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done?
Oh man, there is this one toy the lady in the market gave me that has treats hidden it – they are SO HARD to get out!!!
I really enjoyed the article on Timber. I am partial to Goldens, having had two of my own in years gone by.
Thank you for sharing this delightful article.
Congratulations to Jane Pahl on her remarkable achievement. Your are so deserving.
Sincerely,
Gwen Olson
