Having now worked from home for almost 15 years , I just can’t imagine not having a dog beside me as I work.
Every morning I take about ten steps through from my bedroom patio door to my sage green 10 x 12 writing cottage. Through rain, wind, sun, humidity, snow, sub zero temps, my cottage welcomes me with open arms each and every day. Under my arm has always been a dachshund. First Frankie, then Joie, and now Gidget. When I get dressed each morning, my final accessory is a sweet little dog tucked under my right arm.
A must have in my cottage is a round, soft pink bed and blanket for said sweet little dog to burrow under and snooze the day away. Whenever I need a bit of inspiration or just a break from what I am doing, Gidget is so much better than a piece of chocolate. Well, okay, snuggling with Gidget AND a piece of chocolate is the ultimate treat!
I know this will likely come as no surprise to those of you as my loyal readers of this blog, but I do think EVERYDAY should be take your dog to work day! Agree? I thought you might.
Thank you to the fine folks at Red Envelope for asking me to take part in their #redHoliday event today for Take Your Dog to Work Day!
