Defective Anti-Fatigue Mat

After extensive testing, Roscoe regrets to report Hu-Dad purchased a defective anti-fatigue mat for his sit-stand desk.

Hu-Dad’s busyness requires him to work on computers at his desk for hours and hours and hours while we invent ways to entertain ourselves. He has a sit-stand desk so he changes positions regularly. He bought an anti-fatigue mat so his legs wouldn’t get tired standing.

When Hu-Dad returned to his desk after a few minute break (without us!!!!), he discovered Roscoe had decided the mat needed testing. With the testing of all of the beds scattered about Hu-Dad’s office, Roscoe is quite qualified for this advanced work.

Testing shows this mat doesn't prevent fatigue at all.

Unfortunately, Roscoe reports Hu-Dad will need to purchase another anti-fatigue mat since this one doesn’t prevent fatigue at all. Hu-Dad suggested Roscoe go test one of the beds in the study, but Roscoe takes his job seriously and will not allow the Hu-Dad to use a defective product.

Protecting the Hu-Dad is a tough job.

    Are you sure he is not doing his job in keeping the mat warm for your feety-feet?

    sweet Roscoe! of the entire herd you have Hu Dad’s best interests at heart.
    or should I say paw.
    you should be able to claim this defective mat as Roscoe’s Personal and Private hangout.
    XOXO
