Highfield House staff, do you remember Jake?
He has a ‘proper’ home somewhere round the corner. They would feed him first thing and he would wander over to Highfield House, where he would be fed again. The real owners sent a note asking us not to feed him as he was getting too fat!
He had his own id badge and could come and go as he pleased.
At lunchtimes he would wander over to the picnic tables. He’d jump up, lay on his back with his legs in the air and the ladies would tickle his tummy. (other employees who tried to do this were disciplined.)
Sadly Jake passed away 5th July 2012.,
It was very sad day when he died and I sent out an all employee note.
He was a legend and I made a mental note to come back as Jake in my next life.
