National Take Your Dog (or Human) to Work Day

Friday, June 24th was take your dog to work day.  It was special for Winston and me because  it was the first day this year that Winston wasn't with me the whole day.  More about that later.

We decided to make it a photo opp because we are always looking for an excuse to take pictures of Winston.  Kelli agreed to stand in to test the lighting while Winston meet with a client.




















Winston came back into the office and we took some pictures while he worked:

So then the IRS agent says "I'm glad I can call you to explain tax code to me."  

If I've told you once, I've told you 100 times.  You MUST document your mileage.

No, the cat will never be a dependent.  A feline?  Sheesh.

Yes, you could deduct that, but you will go to jail.

Just tell it to the IRS agent, lady.  You ain't fooling me.

I'm glad we see eye to eye on the details now, aren't you?

Yes, another happy client.  Who's Next!




Whew.  I think I'll crawl under my desk and take a nap now.

As I mentioned earlier, today was special not because Winston came to work with me, but because he left work here to start his career as a Therapy Dog.  Kelli took Winston to Sable House, an assisted living facility (ALF) here in Pensacola.  This was his first visit and the activities director and Kelli decided to keep the visit short to about 10 minutes so he could transition from the office to ALF.

The ALF doesn't have regular visits by a therapy dog and Winston was a huge hit.  Everybody wanted to see Winston and learn about him.  He seemed to enjoy all the attention.  Over an hour later, both Kelli and Winston finally left after brightening the day for others.  Well done!  Now that's what I call bring your human to work with you day!
