Bring your dog to work day

A couple of weeks ago we had a little treat and were able to bring the pooches (and kitties) to work with us. I first checked with everyone here to make sure if any cats were going to make an appearance, and if so where. Bella and Bo are not kitty friendly and I didn't want to put any other animals in danger so I can have company throughout the day. Only 1 kitty was going to be coming in and in another department so there were no possible interactions so I decided to bring them with me. I also booked day acre for them that day just in case they became restless. Bella: What? Where are we going today? Bella: Work? *Sigh* And here I had plans today to chase those squirrels out of the yard! Bo: Whats work? I decided to have Bella Bean there in the morning and leave Bo at the daycare partly because Bo is a whiner and I figured Bella can be quite charismatic with larger groups of people. But by early afternoon I think we were both ready for the switch. She had had enough with being confined to my office with me and I could tell she was going a bit stir crazy... not to mention that she tried to poop in our lobby. I took my lunch hour to switch and grab Seeya Bella: So this is where you go when you leave me alone all day, not bad. Bella: I thought I smelled some yummies around here somewhere! Bella: Hey co-worker people, more good stuff please! When I made the switch Bella was was quite pleased to be out and about, and Bo was even more pleased because he thought we were going home or for a walk or something. He was a bit confused when I took him into the office, but he was so tired out from the morning at the day care that (other than a marking incident on a plastic tree) he was snoozing the rest of the afternoon. Bo: I'll be your greeter today, I can do that from the floor right? Bo: Bella told me that there were some good treats here, can I have some??? It was nice to have them with me at work, to give a scritch or two when I felt like it or when I needed it, but for the most part I think I am more productive without them staring at me all day asking (whining) for yummies or walks.

What a fun day! Bo makes an excellent greeter in flat dog mode.

Iowa: Bo managed to lift his head when someone came in, so he did manage somewhat of a 3-D effect when someone came in, but he did do a really good 2-D impression. :)

Harvey: Bo and Bella would love to have their "adventures" shared
