Rose Seeks Employment: The Nelson-Atkins Museum

Rose, the second generation of Prairie Pugs knew she had to find her next gig soon. This Dynasty of Pug lineage had left her over educated and underemployed. Despite others praising her of her well-toned abilities and accomplishments like walking on very tall walls, scaling rock embankments and a keen discernment of any 'WAY PAST DUE' date for cured meats, she'd found difficulty in finding work.

She assessed her ability to watch people and help them, and chose the field of Security. Not just any security but that at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. She would market these  abilities.

The Nelson-Atkins was a Beaux-Arts Museum in midtown of beautiful Kansas City, smack dab middle in of the US of by the Johnson County, Kansas border. She knew of this place from her other life as A Prairie Pug when she had stumbled upon a sketchbook. This belonged to Merry, her owner when she was in her youth.

Now, ‘just a little bit past middle-age’, Rose had landed just on then western edge of the Midwest was was NOT the High Plains. It was an urban area so one might not describe Kansas City as the Prairie. She liked the idea of re-visiting this magical place where Merry had played and stayed with her mother as she worked. Merry even later worked there as a security guard. So, apply Rose did.
