Spike does have some Talent

My friend and fellow blogger, Rob Mark, who runs the really excellent Jetwhine.com wrote a nice article about freightdawg.com and the article about Colleen Barrett of Southwest Airlines.   

What impressed me most though was how perceptive Rob is.  He immediately recognized that the true talent behind freightdawg.com is Spike the freightdawg. Spike appears in the intro article on this blog and to the right here.   

He really is a a unique beast.

I mean, how many dogs do you know that can not only discuss logistics and supply chain, but also type?  Spike is mad at me right now.  Mainly because there are close to 400 articles on this "blawg" and I haven't given the actual "Dawg" one by-line or even a mention.  Ok I suck. I think Spikes words to me were "gravy sucking pig"...but that's another story.

I travel a lot. You think I write this stuff?  Heck no. Spike writes most of it. I just pimp his work. He's on a tether only because I don't pay him enough and I figure Rob Mark or some other blogger will pay him more. Anyway he is a good dog.   

Spike costs me a few T-bones but he better start thinking fuel strategy if he wants any more. (hint to you "dawg"...you are only as good as your last article!  Don't forget I got you from the pound. I still know where it is.)   

Sorry.  I have to "keep it real" with Spike. Otherwise he starts thinking he is Snoopy and will get an agent.  I'm not playing that Charlie Brown thing with him.

The Real Secret though is that Spike has Brothers.   

Roscoe is his older brother and Robbie is his kid bro. Likable and good dogs, but somewhat less experienced with this venue.

Spike has an "edge" that neither of the siblings have. Plus he can type. Spike has been pushing me to give the two moochers a job.  Times are tough when gas is $4.10 a gallon. 

I might give the two brothers section leader jobs.

Roscoe tends to think about urban transit, railroads and heavy freight.

Little Robbie is a newbie. He tends to think "Green" That's the future anyway.  Given that he's also a smart pup, I might also give him a shot at the AST&L articles that appear here.

What do you think?  Should Roscoe and Robbie render paw prints here?

I might do it anyway just to keep Spike in line but the two others will be taking typing lessons in the next couple of weeks at least!

I'm not running some "Alvin and the Chipmunks" operation here.
