what was their first day in the office like? When Clare started her own business, she had to convert the dog’s bedroom into an office, so Halloumi and his doggy siblings were a bit confused to what was going on. But now they all happily sleep away while Clare works on emails and bark when she’s on calls!

what is halloumi's favourite thing to do in the office? Fart.
does halloumi like sharing his office space? Halloumi loves the company and he will get as cuddled up under Clare’s chair as possible, so he is more than happy to share his space!

how has having halloumi at work improved the working environment? Having 3 dogs asleep at your feet when you are working reminds you to slow down and take a moment to be mindful. They also never fail to make you smile!
does halloumi ever get up to mischief/any embarrassing office stories? Halloumi and his siblings like to interrupt video calls by barking hysterically and all running out of the room in a stampede.
paws in home bonus question! how is halloumi coping with the UK on lockdown? Halloumi and his siblings are loving it – they love having all the humans around all the time. It will be when we can go out a bit more that they might not be so impressed!
