As you may have surmised…le•top is chock full of animal lovers – with dogs leading in the popularity poll! The big news at le•top this week is that our designers will have four new puppies to inspire them as they design the next fabulous le•top collection.
Sylvia and Brandi
One of our great summer staffers – Franklin – announced that he was looking for homes for his litter of Golden Retriever/Labrador puppies. When his SUV full of cute furry pups pulled up you would have thought we were having a fire drill! The result? Four of the puppies ending up joining our extended le•top family! They were just too cute to resist!
Sweet Brandi went home with Sylvia (our EDI specialist and chief softy.) This is the ‘second time around’ for Sylvia’s family – she had already adopted Cosmo last year!
Tiffany and Zane
Tiffany (our Accounting supervisor) is happy to have Zane at home with her three children; why not have four to monitor!
Joy (pronounced Joe-ee,) one of our Order Packers, is “papa” to a new little girl, C.K., a name inspired by our corporate identity.
I couldn’t help myself! I am the very proud new “mom” to gorgeous puppy Cali (short for California, our beautiful home state.)
Cali
The “new puppy club” agrees that adopting a 7 week old puppy is a lot of work! Some of the ‘new parents’ have experience with animals – while some of us have zero experience – but we are all enjoying the rewards of ‘parenthood!’ Cali is great but quite a handful (to put it mildly!) Housebreaking is one of the more difficult obstacles so far…or maybe it’s the fact that she wants to chew on anything and everything! In spite of the fact that she bites our fingers and whines at night while we’re trying to sleep – I love her!
C.K.
We are looking forward to a year from now…not just because they will all be trained, but because we have a celebration planned! The “puppy club” is going to honor their first birthday with Sylvia’s homemade doggie cookies! I’m looking forward to that party!

Those are going to be some super cute but big pups when they grow up. Cali’s legs are already sooo long. More power to you all. I resisted this time!
I am so glad that I was away when this all went down, I don’t know how I would have resisted taking one of these cuties home!!!! My husband tells me, every time we go by a shop with puppies in the window “we are not getting a dog.- If you want something to care of, lets have a kid!” -UGGHH- MEN!
What a great response he has. Usually it’s the other way around…wanting the dog instead of the kid.
Yeah but you can leave a dog at home and there’s no daycare costs, or temper tantrums or sleepless nights, etc, etc, etc… I think my husband is not really thinking this through all the way…. hahahaha!!!!
