Our Mascots

Bo

Our new Mascot Bo has been a blessing since the death of Gus and he has helped us to fill the void over the loss of Gus in many ways.

When Gus died, we couldn't see ourselves getting another dog for a long time. But after about a month, a friend dropped Bo off on our door step and told us that his son couldn't keep him anymore because he was going off to school.

At first we weren't going to keep Bo and were going to find him a good home. But after a few days with us at home, we knew that he wasn't going anywhere.

Today, Bo goes to work with us every day just like Gus did and he has turned out to be a great dog and mascot in his own right. However I sometimes question Bo's judgment, because unlike Gus, Bo likes every salesman that walks in the door and he can definitely be bribed with a treat or a piece of cheese.

Although Bo has many different facial expressions like Gus, he doesn't seem to have the humanistic qualities that Gus did. Bo seems to know that he is just a dog and he loves every minute of it.

I've had many different dogs over the years, but nothing like Gus or Bo, hopefully we will not have to get another dog for many years, but when the time comes, it will be another English Bulldog.

Gus

Our 1st company mascot Gus died a couple of years ago and we still miss him badly today. Gus was a good friend and a great company mascot.

Gus had a different facial expression for every occasion, which gave him a humanistic non-dog like quality. Gus went to work with me every day, so he was a big part of our team culture and work environment. It was a big loss for everyone at TMT when he died.

The funniest thing about Gus was that he either liked you or he didn’t. There was no middle ground with him, but if Gus didn’t like you, you knew it and not even a treat or a piece of cheese would change his mind.

Gus was also demise of many a salesman trying to sell his products to our company, because if Gus didn’t like you there was no way that we were going to buy anything from that particular sales person.

Like the saying goes, if a dog does not like someone it’s usually for a good reason and I have found that bull dogs seem to be better at this than any other breed that I have ever owned.

We miss you, Big Guy!!!
