‘Tis the season for nog, Snuggies, and curling up by the fireplace. But before we head out of the office to spend some quality time with the humans and dogs we love, we wanted to wish you all happy holidays—from our awesome office dogs.
Name: Aspen

Favorite Holiday Tradition: Making memories: this is Aspen’s first Christmas!

Lovable Quirk: Bruce is addicted to food and will do anything for a snack. He’s perfected the underbite smile because he knows that it’s irrestistible.
Favorite Holiday Tradition: Putting his head on his paws and giving his puppy dog eyes to get some of the Christmas dinner. Picking up any stray wrapping paper and recycling it. (It’s always to get snacks, but we like to think he cares about the environment too.)
What I’m Giving My Dog: This year, he and his sister Margot are getting their own vanilla-scented, squirrel-shaped Kongs filled with all of the treats that they can handle.
What My Dog’s Giving Me: Bruce doesn’t often show his affection unless food is nearby, but sometimes, he’ll snuggle up behind my knees when we’re on the couch watching TV.

Name: Demi
Lovable Quirk: She routinely leaps 4 feet in the air out of spontaneous joy but can’t figure out how to get into the car.

What I’m Giving My Dog: A chicken dinner and a new leash and collar.
What My Dog’s Giving Me: Letting me sleep until 9? I’d settle for 8:30…
Name: Gus

What My Dog’s Giving Me: All of the love and cuddles I could have ever wanted from my 4-legged soul mate.
Name: Henry
Lovable Quirk: Climbing in my lap and loudly snoring during important business meetings. Being an abnormally fit pug. A new soul; curious about everything and will explore anywhere.
Favorite Holiday Tradition: Partnering with my cat to retrieve ornaments from the Christmas for fetch and/or consumption. Also, the water that the Christmas tree is in must taste amazing!
What I’m Giving My Dog: A week long stay with Amber and Gus. Maybe a Barkbox subscription.

Name: Herbie

What My Dog’s Giving Me: Naps, kisses, and cuddles.

What I’m Giving My Dog: A Rover sitter! We’ll be out of town for Christmas (she’s Bowser’s sister).
What My Dog’s Giving Me: The sweetest doggy kisses.
Name: Larry
Lovable Quirk: When he lays down, he always lays down like he has frog legs!
Favorite Holiday Tradition: This is his first holiday, he’s only 4 months old. He loves holiday treats!
What I’m Giving My Dog: A bag full of bully sticks: gotta soothe that puppy teething.
What My Dog’s Giving Me: A regular Rover client and friend for Mogley.

What My Dog’s Giving Me: The sweetest brown eyes as he shamelessly begs for Christmas cookies.

What My Dog’s Giving Me: Unfortunately, it’ll probably be the Christmas turkey farts.
Name: Oakley
Lovable Quirk: The eternal puppy face! Even with all the little greys on his chin!
Favorite Holiday Tradition: Gently sneaking all toy-like ornaments off the tree and collecting them near his bed like babies—and then there’s unwrapping gifts when we’re gone.
What I’m Giving My Dog: New collar, lead, and Amazon delivery of tennis balls!
What My Dog’s Giving Me: Tired groans from hours of fetching tennis balls.
Name: Rolo
Lovable Quirk: He is an absolutely grouch most of the time. But every time I’m petting another dog as he’s around, he gets jealous and wants all the pets. He secretly loves me!
Favorite Holiday Tradition: Rolo has his own stocking and every Christmas morning he gets to open it and go crazy with all the new dog toys and bones. #spoiledpuppy
What I’m Giving My Dog: This year I got Rolo a huge gingerbread man squeaky toy. It won’t fit in his stocking so I’m going to wrap it in wrapping paper and see if he can figure out how to open it.
What My Dog’s Giving Me: When Rolo wants attention, he comes up to me and paws me until I play with him. It’s his way of saying, “Okay fine, you’re right, I do love you. Now play with me!”
