Those loyal blog followers might remember that HotPads set up an incentive system when we first started out that, when we reached 50,000 listings, we would get an office dog.
Well, back in December of '06, we reached a big milestone of 25,000 rental listings and decided to go ahead and get half a dog to celebrate: Enter Dora, the 14lb pug. We all fell in love with Dora, so much so that when the 50,000 listing mark came and went, we added some new engineers, but not another dog.
Dora has enjoyed a lot of attention and fan fare as the sole mascot of HotPads, circling from desk to desk to receive belly rubs, perching on the back of your chair while you work, and overseeing the work here at HotPads.
However, unfortunately for her (but fortunately for us), HotPads just hit another huge benchmark yesterday when we surpassed the 100,000 rental listings mark with an additional 800,000 for sale listings. 
Well, since we got half a dog when we reached the halfway point to our goal, when we doubled our initial goal we did the logical thing: we got Bozzley, who could not be defined as anything less than "twice a dog."
So world, meet King Bozzley.
Bozzley is a 52 pound English bulldog who grunts, slobbers, snorts, snores, and drools... but looks adorable while doing it.
His past times include chasing tennis balls, drinking from Dora's water bowl, and sleeping. He came all the way from Parker, CO with his owner, Kevin Reiser to join the team as another official mascot.
But fear not, Dora's willing to put the team first and is adjusting to life with another dog in her office. I think that she might actually be grateful that Bozzley is here when she is tired and just wants to sleep... now there is another dog to play with too! They love to model their shirts and you should see all the attention they get when they go for walks together. 
For more photos of the dogs, as well as the human members of HotPads, check out our slideshow on Flickr.
I'm glad that Dora found a boyfriend!
Has she been wearing her "Only Child" shirt at all????
