Take Your Dog to Work Day!

Friday, June 25, will be celebrated by pet lovers nationwide as the 11th annual "Take Your Dog to Work" Day. A growing number of companies allow pets in the workplace for this special occasion.

If you decide to take your dog to work, the following equiptment will make the day easier on your pet and your co-workers:
   * A baby gate, so you can restict your pet to the office or cubical
   * A waterbowl and some treats, plus a plastic mat for under the bowl to prevent stains on the office floor
   * A bed or sleeping mat and a couple familiar toys
   * Plastic baggies for cleaning up after your pet!

Even if your pet is extrememly well behaved, be sure to check with y our co-workers about any concerns you may have. A neighbor with severe allergies or overwhelming fear of dogs won't appreciate the gentlest canine.
