Sure you'll have excitement, sure you'll have people forgetting to go to meetings...but I bet they'll all get more done today than any other day of the year.  Take away the stress...and a person can get a lot done.

THINK ABOUT ANIMALS TODAY AND DO SOMETHING SPECIAL

Take Your Dog To Work day originated, as far as I can tell, in the UK in the year 2014. The idea was to raise awareness for charitable organizations that help animals. I know of plenty around the area that could use your support...better yet...If you are in the market for a pet, talk to our friends at Tri County Humane Society, Grey Face Rescue & Retirement, Ruff Start Rescue, Lucky's Place, and more.
