The Dogs of Sweet Leaf Tea: BAYER
By Smashley on Feb 16 Filed In Sweet Leaf Dogs, Uncategorized 5 Comments
Name: Bayer Browne
Bayer has been a fixture at Sweet Leaf Tea since the early years (he was just a young pup when we moved into our first office in Austin, TX). He and his owner, Mike, live here in Austin, and enjoy long walks on the Greenbelt and swimming in Barton Springs. Bayer is a 4-year old Golden Retriever, and is a perfect example of how a dog should behave. Seriously, his is more considerate than most humans!
Bayer and Mike hail from the great town of Tyler, Texas. Mike’s mom gave Bayer to Mike when he was just a young pup. In this photo, Bayer is the little golden pup on the right, next to Art, one of his best friends.
Hours: Monday – Friday 8:30am- 5:30pm
Job: improve company morale. He truly makes you wonder why any company wouldn’t be dog-friendly. He greets each Tea’m member when they get to work in the morning.
Favorite place: Laying on the concrete floor by Mike’s desk, where he can watch everything going on in the office. He makes a point of saying hi to everyone in the office, sometimes getting your attention by putting his wet nose under your elbow or will simply take a nap at your feet.
Favorite flavor: TBD. He’s waiting on getting his picture on a label like Bess, another Sweet Leaf Tea canine. What flavor do you think would be best? Here are a few of our flavors if you’d like to give us your input.
Favorite thing to do at work: Get patted and in return make people feel loved.
Most memorable moment: The day that Mike taught Bayer to swim was one of the proudest in both of their lives. Check out the photo below of Bayer in the waters of the Frio River.
Best trick: It’s not really a trick, but this dog might just be the kindest creature on the planet.
Favorite toy: Bayer loves (or loved) the squeaky squirrel toy. He used to carry it around the office and would doze off with his head on it. Nowadays, you’re likely to see Bayer gumming on a tennis ball (and frequently falls asleep with it in his mouth).
Hobbies: Bayer is quite the outdoorsman. He loves going to the beach, boating on Lake Austin, playing tug-o-war with his canine pals, and pretty much doing anything with Mike. He actually learned to swim on a trip with Mike to the Frio River (see picture below), which is one of his favorite places in the world.
Spike made the photos! That’s Spike the Boston Terrier, Bayer’s cousin, playing with him in the pictures below. We love it when Bayer and Mike visit!
Love,
Aunt Rachel, Uncle Tim, and Bayer’s human cousin Sammy, canine cousins Spike and Hannah.
I am Bayer’s aunt.I love him beyond words. I saw him before Mike did when he was just a baby. I should have absconded with Bayer in the middle of the night.I would Bayer’s soul mate now. When Bayer comes to visit his grandparents, Nancy and Cooter Browne, I always get a call to come visit. Bayer loves me because I roll around on the floor with him and I remove those nasty hair mats. Bayer is certainly the poster pup of all times. He needs to be highlighted on some Sweet Tea label. It would bring in big bucks. Aunt Ranna
Bayer looks like a wonderful pet. We love our 2 labs also. I hope to meet Bayer sometime. Marianne
