When I owned my own small retail shop Paul the Bichon went to work with me every day. he was very popular and sometimes folks would show up just to see Paul. I kept him exceptionally groomed and his hair was very long-like a show Bichon.

Sometimes he would get the zoomies and people just knew to stand back and watch him. They all laughed and said their own dogs did the same ting. I took him outside to pee a few times a day without jeopardizing my business. I had a cut x stitch sign which said "Paul is on a tickle break. We'll be right back' but I could always see the front door anyway.

I have an adorable picture to post with this thread but as you know CD is pretty messed up this morning. Hope it gets fixed soon. Go to About The Forum for more information. Lots of folks are unhappy.

Me too! I took my Bulldog to my pet store every day for many years.

The only problem was the customers all wanted a Bulldog after meeting him and I didn't sell dogs or cats. /facepalm

I wish I could take my dog to work as well. But then again, he'd probably drive everyone crazy within the first half hour of being there, once he got used to the office routine.

I can just see him now, running around like a crazy little hairy co-worker:

"Did we get the fax yet? Did we? Huh? Huh???"
"You need a file folder? I'll get it!!!!"
"Oh hey, what's that smel....DONUTTTSSSS!!!!!" (coffee break)
"What's that? A phone ringing? Lemmee answer! Pleeezzzze!!!"
"Meetings about to start?? You stay here...I'll round up EVERYBUDDY!!!"

(Obviously, I have a border crazy.)

No I don't. My wife works from home so I never have any worries or anxiety over how my dogs are doing.

I wish I could, but my dog's craziness would probably get me fired.

I work from home so my doxies are with me all day. It's most entertaining when they decide to play a robust game of wrestle mania when I am on a call.
