In honor of today being “Bring Your Dog To Work Day”, I am reposting my blog from last year on the topic. Though my office building will no longer allow dogs to come in (my company does, but the big office building we’re in doesn’t), I did get to “bring my dog to work” yesterday during my dog walking appointment for my pet services business. I do have a picture of my dog with me though and I encourage all dog owners to remember to ask next year if they could participate in National Bring Your Dog to Work Day! If not, at least bring a picture of your furbaby to work to show off. Just looking at a picture and talking about your dog offers many therapeutic results. Enjoy!
Bring Your Dog to Work Day! Friday, June 20th
19 Jun
It’s that time of year again when everyone in your workplace has an extra big smile and perhaps a little extra furry accessories on their work clothes.
The first Friday after Father’s Day is the annual “Bring Your Dog to Work Day”! This year it’s Friday, June 20th. How much joy a well-behaved dog brings to everyone they encounter in the workplace! Also think about the fun your dog will have spending extra time with you on a “field trip”!
Check out http://www.takeyourdog.com/About/ for more information and details about this wonderful initiative to have your furry best friend spend a day at the office with you! If you can’t bring your dog, at least bring a picture of him/her and place it at your workstation for the day. Get people talking about how wonderful man’s best friend is which should brighten up the day even if your pet wasn’t there. Then perhaps if enough people talk about it, next year your workplace will participate! (It’s actually encouraged to bring you pet to work WEEK leading up to the Friday where the actual event is celebrated.)
Check out Clancy visiting the Signature Properties, LLC office in Washington, DC (my part-time job when I’m not doing FUNanimal Pet Services) below. Do keep in mind, you should have your dog trained to be calm, quiet, and completely house-broken before they hang out with you all day in your workplace. You want your pup to leave a lasting positive impression for more opportunities to bring your dog with you to places! (If you need help training your dog to be well-behaved, contact me!)
