Subject: 🐾 Retirement Announcement: Tank, Our Shop Cat
Dear Friends, Customers, and fellow Beresford Residents
After years of loyal service as Chief Mechanic, Pest Control Supervisor, and Morale Officer, our beloved shop cat, Tank, has decided it’s time to hang up his work boots (well… paws) and enjoy a well-earned retirement.
Tank joined our team on October 2018 and quickly proved himself invaluable — greeting customers with a head bump, supervising all major repairs from the warmest sunny spot, and ensuring not a single mouse dared trespass. His work ethic (when awake) was unmatched, and his napping skills remain the gold standard.
In retirement, Tank plans to pursue his passions: long naps, bird-watching, snack sampling, and occasional guest appearances in the shop to ensure we’re still working hard.
Please join us in thanking Tank for his years of dedication and in wishing him the happiest of retirements. We’ll miss seeing him on the clock every day, but we know he’s earned his time in the sun — literally.
With love and whiskers,
Carlson's Body Shop
PS. Tank plans on working until August 29th. After that he will be spending his days with his retirement buddies. Frank (cat) and Ellie & Lucy (dogs)
