take your dog to work day

Not an official day here at the SOB (State Office Building), but since our furnace isn't working at home, and the high yesterday was only 21, I thought Winston might be a little more comfortable here rather than shivering in our apartment, so I brought him to work with me. (I would like to throw this little note in there, that even though the temp has been in the 30s, and we don't have storm windows on half of our windows, we have been able to get the apartment up to at least 60 each day with our trusty little space heater, and the decision to bake 1 thing a day (and plastic on some of the windows). In fact, the apartment was 55!! when I got up yesterday, I just feared it might spend most of the day in the high 40s without the space heater on, which is definitely too cold for Winston. Don't worry, the temp is supposed to be back to the 50s by the weekend, and we plan on calling the furnace guy around then, hoping not as many people will be having work done when it's warmer out.) 

So, in summary, I got an entire day at work with a little space heater on my lap, who growled at passers by and gave me kisses whenever he woke up from a nap... every day should be take your dog to work day, think how much happier places offices would be. And honestly, happier employees = more productive employees... so allowing dogs in the office really seems like a logical step. I move for nationally practiced take-your dog-to-work day at a minimum!!

Despite how obvious the pictures look, Winston was so discrete, only 1 other person knew he was here, and that was just because I told her! I  could  bring my dog to work every day if I wanted to apparently...
