He knows just how to greet each guest with making them feel right at home. He even assists in helping them get to the right person by guiding them to either Meg’s desk or one of the other staff members. However, Blake wouldn’t be a true politician if he wasn’t seeking some form of opportunity out of his gracious mannerisms. Instead of collecting taxes he collects food; his guilty pleasure. All he asks for is a little culinary delight or treat to hold him over until the next guest enters the office. This has caused an influx in weight gain as of recently due to his diplomatic ways around the grounds. There have been a couple of brilliant strategies that some of Blake’s office mates have come up with to help him lose those extra pounds. Lisa Estabrook, Office Manager, came up with the clever idea of enticing Blake with tasty treats that she gently tosses across the office for him to scramble after. It’s a win win situation for this savvy pup, where he savors the crunch of a little cookie while working his muscles out as he zig zags his way around the office. Paul Saylor, Financial Director, enjoys bringing Blake out to the Dixon Oval
many mornings where he practically bowls a red spotted ball across the oval for Blake to see and chase after. His tiny legs help him scurry across the grounds to capture his favorite toy that he proudly displays to the side of his mouth as he trots back to Paul for another round. On a much smaller scale this spry Corgi has a unique gait that certainly resembles that of a galloping horse. Who knows, is it possible that Blake has been picking up some tips from his fellow friends when they compete in the Dixon Oval? The Devon Horse Show and Country Fair has become Blake’s personal playground, and second home in a sense. He not only loves frolicking around the grounds to assure everything is coming together as it should, but immensely enjoys being around the various people that visit on a daily basis. His jovial personality will strike you the moment you meet him. So when you visit the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair this month, be sure to say hello to the Mayor in the ticket office. He will be eagerly awaiting your arrival to offer you the warmest of greetings, and send you on your way to a day filled with exciting festivities.
