We don’t have the type of place that will let you do this, BUT I have on occasion when I had the need for it, brought one or both dogs into work. For me the challenge is blocking off my area so Delilah doesn’t go tearing through the office nosing through garbage cans. 🙂

BTW I love your captions.

You are so lucky, the only time I made an inquiry about bringing my dog to work (as my mother was in hospital and Mity has never been left alone all day in his life) I was told no. Which really pissed me off as other people have been allowed and I asked for one off special consideration!

The best tip is “ask your boss.” I worked at a company once where three people brought in their dogs without asking and were shocked when they were told to take their dogs home. Even worse, one person just put her dog in a locked car, windows cracked, for the afternoon (in June). She was allowed to go home early that day.

I wish I could take our dogs to work, but the trip is too long and they day would be too long. So I take the day off and work from home 🙂

Hope YOU had a lovely day 🙂

Lucky enough to work from home for the last ten years. Not only is it great having my dogs with me everyday…I don’t think I could ever goo back to that routine.

In Germany Katie went to work every day and loved it. No crate, she just hung out in the office and had her spot if someone came in. When I came along I didn’t have time for a place like the office. I made a huge mess every day, so Mom quit going to the office. Now she works from home most of the time, so we are together, but sometimes she goes to the office and takes one of us with her too. We all have office manners so it isn’t a problem.

BOL – I love Honey on the table. I was only able to bring Harley to work (didn’t have Leo at the time) and all he did was tear up paper from the trash under my desk. He loved it then and continues to be the best four legged shredder ever! Great tips – thanks for sharing!
