They just sat so well for their photos. Look at their attentive faces. And it is the holiday season, so even though I have nothing really to say about my dogs, I just had to show them to you.

Amazing Grace

Liesl Diesel Weasel Bezo

Amazing Grace, the bichon, got her name because she owns my heart and she’s just so so amazing, and Liesl Diesel Weasel Bezo, the mini dachshund, got her name because that’s what my husband calls her and of course she needs a long name.

Okay, I guess I do have something to say about my dogs. If they got your attention, I should capitalize on it, and we all can learn from it.

There are certain things that get people’s attention, warranted or not. Pets and babies do it. Sometimes things people should be learning about, like marketing and employee engagement, don’t.

I did write a very interesting post about capturing attention awhile back (in fact I have an entire category on the subject), and for those of you who require attention-getting devices and visuals, there’s also a cartoon of a very charming kitty in that post. Sound marketing advice as well. You should read it.
