Editor’s Note: Happy birthday to Lumi, our June Pet of the Month, who wrote in to tell us about their important role at the 21st TSC IG office!
My name is Lumi, but my formal title is Legends of Camelot’s “Catch a Star.” I’m a Smooth Collie (like Lassie, but with short hair), and I turn 12 this month! A while ago, my mum’s boss in the 21st TSC Inspector General office allowed her bring me to work. Oh, I was so happy!
I was a little shy at first. So many people dressed all the same! I saw a military German shepherd dog when we passed the gate, and he was the most handsome guy ever.
My instincts told me: I love this place!
My favorite occupation during work hours is to quietly wander off into the Command IG office, where a variation of treats and sometimes even chicken sandwiches await me!
I have come to love my mum’s boss and sometimes snooze in her room. Oh, speaking of sleeping – I often sleep on the job, because, well, I work hard!
Lately, I got promoted to Captain. So, now I outrank my mum. Of course, I play that card when she tries to cut treats in half!
I am very happy and grateful that I am allowed to be a part of the team who works so hard. My Inspector General activities include inspections (drawers, pockets, handbags, anything where treats could be hidden), assistance (my presence sometimes calms people who come to our office with a problem), and investigations (why are U.S. treats so much better than German ones? I’ve gotta find out!).
