Take Your Dog to Work Day

Today is Take Your Dog to Work Day - a holiday to celebrate the bond we have with our dogs and encourage adoption.  First celebrated in 1999 and founded by Pet Sitters International, thousands of pet owners will be celebrating this 15th annual event.

Here at For Love of a Dog, my dogs accompany me to work every day.  In fact, their full-fledged members of the For Love of a Dog team.  

Jeffie is in charge of security and does a fabulous job patrolling the perimeter.

These days Rudy is in charge of puppy-care and keeping Rosie out of mischief.

 Each of the Talking Dogs is a great spokesdog for adoption.  Jeffie and Rosie were both listed on Petfinder and adopted from an animal shelter.  Rudy, the product of an oops pregnancy, found us at the vet's office.  

When I'm in my office working on the computer, I have two dogs under the bed and one at my feet.

When I'm in the studio creating my dog lover jewelry, all three are usually napping and playing around me.  On good weather days, they might head outside to patrol or engage in some Jolly ball play.
  

On rainy days, you'll find them napping or having some fun with a KONG.

 Security patrolling is hard work.  Frequent naps are needed!

 

KONGs stuffed with something yummy is good... but so are KONG toys!

I have a posse.  I travel with a pack of three.  24/7.  I wouldn't have it any other way.
