Ernest comes to work two days out of five. He's not allowed in the building, but we park in a shady area and he gets a few walks a day. A lot of other folks do the same thing, lunch is about dog walking and greeting. We work on the Lake and some dogs go for a swim, some go running and some just like to roach.

Just a reminder apropos to this topic that Friday, 6/20 is Take Your Dog to Work Day! http://www.takeyourdog.com
My boss has agreed to allow me to bring my Schnoodle, Charlie, to work this once. I have to make sure I stock up on the chewies and toys lest Charlie get into trouble. I think not a lot of work going to get done that day.
In all likelihood, it will run smooth and no major issues. Should be a fun change. I wouldn't do it all the time just because I wouldn't get a lot of work done.

I am very fortunate. I work out of my employer's home (my office is converted apartment above garage). When I interviewed for this job, 11 years ago, one of the "conditions" was that I must like dogs! (And dog hair, and paw prints, and dog kisses) They had six at that time. So somebody was always visiting me in my office.
My poodle comes to work with me almost every day. Six years ago, my boss found a mutt puppy on a trip home from California and "gifted" him to my daughter. While I was housebreaking him, he came to work every day too. He is quite large and has difficulty with stairs so most days he holds down the fort at home.
I love being able to bring my babies to work........or borrowing one of theirs!
