Encore's Best In Show

Job Description: Communications Director

Leo is a long haired domestic tabby. After that, all classification stops.

He is a very vocal cat, and loves to serenade us all at night. He always makes sure we are on time for meals. I am not sure how he learned to tell time, but he sure knows when it's time to eat.

He loves his cuddles, on his own terms and on his own time. He will even do a little dance occasionally, if he gets just the right scritch...

Job Description: Sr. Feline Ambassador

Hercules is a GREAT ambassador for the feline species. He is outgoing, sociable, and always ready, willing and able to give and receive some affection.

He is getting on in years, but that does not diminish his enthusiasm for life or his affection for others.
He is always the first to welcome anyone new to his space, regardless of species, age, or gender. He's one in a million.

Job Decription: Caregiver

Freya is a Shepherd-Husky cross, but looks almost pure Shepherd. She is about two and a half years old. She is very outgoing, energetic, and full of life. She had a rough start to her life, and still struggles with containing her enthusiasm at times. However, she is a beautiful girl, and a truly excellent companion.

One of her favourite spots is at the patio doors in the bedroom, keeping an eye on the comings and goings in our yard. If only she could catch that pesky squirrel...one of these days...

She loves all of her roommates, feline and canine, and gets along with all of them. She also really enjoys the company of small dogs, and is super gentle with them. She loves to play, and to fetch.

Job Description: Distinguished Statesman

Diego is the elder statesman of the place. It has been his job for the past 13 years to make sure that the yard is protected, well-patrolled, and free of unwelcome guests. He has even learned to deal with skunks without getting a snout full. He has gotten rid of foxes, skunks, deer, and even a porcupine (although not without getting a nose full of quills). We have never had a problem with rabbits in our gardens either.

He's the best dog ever, and has certainly earned a quiet retirement. He is always up for a walk, and LOVES his breakfast!!

Job Description: Head of Security - Special Services

Ms. Sophia is passionate about her career monitoring the yard and home 24/7 so that NOBODY and NOTHING goes undetected. If there is the slightest of movement (a leaf) her staff are immediately notified ongoing until the threat has passed and then a treat must follow immediately. She loves her blueberries in the morning with her best friend and then immediately retreats back to bed. Upon her second waking, Monday to Friday, she expects her breakfast no later than 8:30am and a treat when you depart. She loves her "Sophie Saturdays" and "Sophie Sundays" when she gets to casually hang with her cat and staff.
