Take Your Dog to Work Day:
Get Ready to Look & Act Great

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

Take Your Dog to Work Day: It's almost here and you're probably wondering how you'll get Fido prepared. He needs 2 things: To look good and behave well. Ready my tips at this link. Then enter our giveaway, but you'll have to act fast. This giveaway will be gone in a flash, with entries ending Saturday, June 14 at midnight. How coincidental that Father's Day is the next day.

Will your dog wear a tie to work? Bandanas are good for casual Fridays, so we're offering ours up for your dog if a tie option does not exist. Our giveaway also includes a set of 3 dog-training videos with a television trainer (No, she doesn't whisper).

Don't waste any time. I'll need to collect addresses and ship these prizes Monday so that your dog will be looking and acting like the lady or gentleman that you want them to. Good luck!

evie said...: since i dont really work,per say, b/c i had to take early retirement 12 yrs ago to move back home to take care of my mother, 24/7...i work out of my house, still working on the trust and legal things left over from my mother's passing 2 yrs ago...however, i used to take my oldest child to the assistant living facilities when my mother was there and not living w/ me...at my old job, they would not allow dogs. however, i think it would be so cool to work for the akc, which is hdqtered here, b/c they get to take their dogs to work everyday....they have crates and little fenced in areas at their desks and get to take potty breaks for their dogs...evie had a job at the assistant living facility when she visited, all of the seniors loved playing w/ her...she is a real people dog, does not like playing w/ dogs only people...she would also play w/ my mother, making my mother more active. she would also take the lead and pull my mother in her wheel chair down the hall. when i would call my mother, evie would get on the phone and play music for mother. she would go get one of her squeaky toys, her favorite and just squeak away in the phone for as long as you would let her...i would tell her to play music for grandma and she would get her toy and come to the phone and just play. my mother got such a kick out of that...she would brag how smart her grandchild is....; June 13, 2012 at 1:40 AM

Danielle said...: Wilson just hangs out wherever I am. He usually lays down and patiently waits on me. Unless we are working in the greenhouse and then he patrols looking for invaders (lizards and rodents). He also usually manages to get everyone to pet him.

Julie said...: We are really fortunate because Peter actually takes Dumpling to work on a usual basis (1-2 times per week). Peter's workplace is dog-friendly, so Dumpling has plenty of friends around the open office. The other days I am home with Dumpling while I study and do research. No special uniform necessary for him! Although for Halloween (yes, I realize this is several months away) I plan on getting Dumpling a pirate costume and having Peter dress up as a parrot (ha)!; June 13, 2012 at 7:44 PM
