Tails of Being an Office Dog: Small Dog Edition

I love work. Work is great. I get up in the morning and watch Mom slowly get ready to go. This is really boring…I just sit there and watch. But then it happens, we get into the car to drive into work. I like the drive, I get to hang my head out of the window and smell all of the different parts of the city.

When we get to the office, I can hardly control myself - all of my friends are inside. I jump up and down on the front door for Mom to catch up to me. Once she finally lets me in, I get to go say hi to my other doggie friends in the office. Sid is my favorite - he’s a big boxer. We chase each other around the office until the humans make us stop. That part of my day kinda sucks. Then I get to go say hi to Mika - Mika is a Doberman Beagle. I like her sometimes, just not when she steals my food.
After I say hi to my puppy friends, I make my way around to saying hi to my human friends. I like some of them better than others, because some of them feed me. I like it when they feed me people food, it tastes so much better than that yucky kibble stuff Mom makes me eat.
Now I have some tough decisions to make. Mom has brought in two beds for me to sleep on. I’ve got my pink fuzzy high one - I like this one because it hugs me when I curl up in it. I’ve also got my faux cow skin one - this one doesn’t hug me, but I don’t have to jump to get into it. I usually pick my cow one just cause it’s easier. Although, I like to sleep on Andre’s backpack or under his desk - it’s better when Andre is on vacation, because I get his whole desk to myself and I don’t need to worry about him running me over with his chair.

Then I get to take my nap…I really need it at this point, it’s been a tough morning and I need to be at my cutest to get the humans to give me part of their lunch. I love lunch. Everyone eats at their desk and this makes it really easy to get food. Mom, Jenny, and James love me the most - they almost always have at least a little food to share with me.
Sometimes we get visitors to the office. I like the visitors…they have new smells on their ankles that I get to smell. When I’m not sleeping, I like to sit at the front door and look at everything that happens outside. Sometimes another dog or a homeless person walks by and I bark at them. This makes Mom get mad at me, she just doesn’t realize that I’m protecting them from the other dogs.
That’s pretty much my day. Sometimes I get to go to the Music Direction and Tagga office next door. They have a couch that I like to sleep on, but it’s way more boring over there. And sometimes, Mom even takes me to work parties after work….they’re fun!
