From splitting stone and loading materials, to helping customers and supporting our dealers, there's no shortage of activity around here. But some of our most recognizable team members have a slightly different set of responsibilities. They don't answer emails, operate machinery, or prepare for team Huddles (at least not intentionally). But they do have a way of making everyone's experience a little better.
Here are 5 things Duffy and Rooney want you to know about dog life at Delgado Stone.
1. Every Successful Team Need a Helping Paw (or Eight)
Duffy and Rooney have become familiar faces around here, and they've certainly made a few appearances alongside the materials. Whether it's finding a comfortable spot on a stone display, hunting around palletized orders for leaf shadows to chase, or posing for yet another photo opp, they're never too far from the action. They even help out with shipping natural stone samples!
We get along just fine, but sometimes our idea of playtime differs. Rooney brings the enthusiasm of a curious Golden Retriever who doesn't always realize just how big he is. Duffy may be smaller, but he's certainly not short on attitude. When play gets a little too enthusiastic (or a little too heavy, literally) he's not afraid to let Rooney know who's boss with a well-timed bark, growl, or swat.
We're regular meeting attendees around here. Sometimes we're invited, sometimes we just show up, and sometimes we become the main event. Whether we're keeping our people company, making the rounds, or looking for a little attention right in the middle of a conversation, we like to stay involved. We can't promise we'll contribute much to the agenda, but we're good at boosting morale.
We don't let many occasions pass without getting involved. Holidays, celebrations, office fun, or just another day at work... We're always happy to join the festivities. And if there's a chance to wear a costume, get a little extra attention, or make everyone laugh, we're definitely in. We may not always understand what's being celebrated (it's probably US) but we know a good time when we see one.
5. Good Dogs Make Great Company
We have different approaches to the workday, but we agree on one thing: our people are the best part of the job. Whether we're making the rounds, keeping someone company, greeting visitors, or convincing someone it's time for a break, we're never short on friends. We think we contribute something pretty important: a reason to smile. And if you ask us, that's a pretty good day's work.
