Take A Dog To Work

Miss Daisy,
Roving Reporter For The Dog Biscuit Gazette

I Know Dogs

Did you see the New York Times article advocating the taking of your dog to work?

I have been a strong lobbyist for this kind of action for years. People take their kids to work and bring their work home. Why not a dog?

The Times reported that businesses work better and people are more relaxed when accompanied by their dog. Why not take your dog to work if it improves the bottom line and makes you feel comfortable? I have gotten some of my best ideas hanging around the editor (Robert) while at work. (Not that he is a dog.)

Your dog will be your confidant and let you pet him as you talk to him, listen to your great thoughts, not interrupt except to cock his head in agreement, and never gossip to your staff. (However, please don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are beyond reproach.)

Taking your dog to work is not a new idea as I am finding out by sniffing around. There are tons of businesses doing this. A confidential source urged me to check one out right here in my backyard in Minnesota, as an example.

My source revealed that there was this good-looking stud, Max that was working miracles at this engineering firm and to publish this information in order to encourage others with dogs to follow. Max told me he had more fun than a bunch of monkeys on roller blades and got a headache from all the pats on the head.

He also said how mellow everyone was and soon others were bringing their dogs. No barking just sniffing allowed.

Imagine, an engineering firm that would be normally stiff and boring, bringing their dog to work for petting and talking to. These guys have brains and heart. If an engineering firm can be loose and caring, anybody can. Normally they deal in hard facts not fuzzy pets and dog lingo.

I rest my case. Dogs rule.

Robert, editor of Dog Biscuit Gazette, and dog lover grandiose, was a teacher, professional speaker, embarrassing movie extra, and a grandfather who has raised and owned dozens of dogs. He enjoys meeting other dog lovers and believes he must have been a dog in another life.

A white female Bichon Friese, Daisy, currently owns him. Miss Daisy was found in a humane shelter in Embarrass, MN. and was blind in one eye. Within six weeks she became totally blind with cataracts and compensated for it by sniffing everything.

Robert and his wife were fortunate in finding a vet who specialized in cataract removal and Miss Daisy now sees like an eagle. Because she is way above average he made her a roving reporter for the Gazette.

(She also delights in car rides so he is continually Driving Miss Daisy.)

He lives in Minneapolis with his wife, two sons and Miss Daisy. Robert likes house boating, opera, travel, Tai Chi and racquetball that he plays in his mind. An avid computer user, he is proud that he is known as 'An old dog that has learned new clicks'.
