GOOD TO KNOW

Silky lives her life. It’s simple, yet it’s a mystery. Ask her to explain it, and you’ll be met with a back roll and tail wag—that’s not coyness or an avoidance tactic, that’s just classic Silky. She’s all authentic, all the time, and she lives her life from a posture of humility, all the more surprising given that her breed is the most popular and well-loved in both America and the UK. If you were beloved the most by two of the most powerful countries in the world, you’d let it go to your head, and you’d boss people around your workplace like the fake queen of your flimsy castle. But not Silky. Silky’s perspective is right. Silky’s game is true. Silky’s heart is clear. From this wellspring of pure life flows the magic that boosts office morale.

Yes, I said magic. It is magic. Silky. Magic.

MINI-HISTORY

Hails from parts unknown. Was found in a Walmart parking lot by the Humane Society of Missouri. Rescued by MarketPlace founders Phil and Tracy Landau. 14 years old. Loves belly rubs. In good health, but could stand to lose a few, frankly. Silky’s no loner or anti-socialite, but she enjoys her quiet time, time best spent shade-bathing and reflecting on her family (Phil, Tracy, and Aidan). Birthday is Valentine’s Day. Which is appropriate since Silky is a lover.

“Regret is like fleas, except that it gnaws at your heart instead of your butt.”

– Old Sparky

Potluck

Silky dreams not of chasing cats or chewing bones but of running, running sort of at medium speed across the freshly mown grass of Busch stadium. From there, she wants to run into the outfield bleachers and feast on bratwurst and nachos spilled and forsaken.

Memorable Meal

Silky will tell you that every meal that’s followed by a belly rub is her best meal, and whichever one of those is most recent becomes, by default, her most memorable.

Honorable Mentions

Silky could teach a class on the art of power napping. But she’d rather do than teach.

Now in her 14th year of making valuable contributions to MarketPlace, Silky has never once asked for a raise—she’s just selfless like that.
