"The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog." ~ Ambrose Bierce Working Dogs BY MICHAEL CHATFIELD PHOTOGRAPHY BY KELLI ULDALL 76 C A R M E L M A G A Z I N E • S P R I N G / S U M M E R 2 0 1 5 Delilah D elilah maintains dual careers, dividing her time between Erin Fogg's Spoke Consulting and husband Trevor's Blink Optometry, both located in the Carmel Crossroads Shopping Center.This 2½ year old resembles a miniature Goldendoodle, found abandoned in the Central Valley. "I got a text from my sister of a ridiculously adorable puppy," Erin Fogg says. Of course, the Foggs adopted her. At Spoke Consulting, Delilah's favorite spot is the leather chairs, where she stands with her feet on the back, staring out the window. And she gets very excited when it's time to go to Blink Optometry, where she can keep one eye on the customers, and the other open for treats. Honey Marie T en-year-old Tibetan Terrier/Chow mix Honey Marie is an analog dog in a digital world. In the some- times sterile, high-tech environment of Internet troubleshooting, a wagging tail, playful bark and a lick of the hand are welcome touches that reminds us of our humanity. While Kevin and Dee Armstead mind the nuts-and- bolts technology of WiredIn Carmel, Honey Marie keeps things down-to- earth. "People really identify her with the business," Kevin says. The couple rescued this adorable girl from the Animal Friends Rescue Project when she was just a pup, so like human chil- dren who can work a computer with amazing acuity, Honey Marie has no trouble keeping up with the business.
