Sweet toys-no cavities!

These are so cute!
I wonder if the dogs would tear these apart?

Take your Spot and Shelby to Work Week

Last week I took Shelby and Spot to work, since a lot of people were out and it was pretty quiet. They both did really well and were a big hit. There were no accidents and they were fine with hanging out in my cube most of the day. I took Shelby on Tuesday and Spot on Friday. No way would I take them both at the same time!

Take your Shelby to work day

My company is dog friendly, which is great, but few dogs actually come to the office. There is one ancient golden retriever in Engineering who sleeps all day, and once in a while someone brings their dog in, but rarely for a full day. I decided Shelby should come in just to see how she would do. I chose Tuesday because the office is half empty and I didn't have any meetings or anything.
I was pleasantly surprised by the reaction Shelby got from everyone. People heard she was here and stopped by to say hello. I got a lot of requests to bring her in more often. One person encouraged me to let her have free rein in the office, but I couldn't quite go that far. I had hoped my baby gate would keep her in my cube, but it wasn't quite long enough, so instead I looped her leash around the arm of my chair. It worked pretty well. Shelby was able to peek out at people as they walked by. She actually curled up under my desk and had a nap for a while, which was great. It's a relief to know I can bring her in if I need to and everyone is OK with it. Well, my boss wasn't here this week, so I don't know how she would feel about it. ;-)
