The Head of Security |
|
About the Head of Security | |
| Goldie has made a sideways move in the structure of Anne Loader Publications. Having been The Boss's Chief Assistant from June 1996 to July 1999, he handed over this role in order to devote all his time to being Head of Security. His staff include his sister Ziggy and, until her death in March 2003, his mother Sally. Goldie has the heavy self-imposed responsibility of barking whenever any clients or delivery men arrive, thus acting as an early warning system. | |
|
He had a natural aptitude for this role from an early age and can be seen here training with his brother. |

In late September 1999 he took his role a little too seriously, when he jumped through the glass of the front door in order to 'greet' the postman (we are always keen to receive your letters and orders!) and cut himself very badly in the process.
The fashionable blue and pink bandage was offset with a smart plastic bag which was to keep the bandage dry, when he went out to do what a dog has to do. The vet's bill for the operation which had to be undertaken to stitch him back together has been stopped from his non-executive director's fees.

Goldie's tendency to bounce up to large four-legged things and bark has been, to an extent, moderated after Polly of "Polly takes the Scenic Route" fame
gave him a swift kick when we were visiting Gay and James Pyper. Hard enough for him to get the message but fortunately not enough to do any damage. This has led him to treat cows and horses with more respect which is a good thing as the horses that visit our field from time to time are about 15.2 hands, unbroken and could easily do serious damage if he was silly around them. |
