Take Your Dog To Work Day

Yesterday was Take Your Dog To Work Day. Did you?

What’s the purpose of Take Your Dog To Work Day anyway?

Were the cynics you work with sure that this was merely an opportunity to:

• increase use of Zoloft lozenge in cynophobics


• step in an innocent puddle


• view a dog in a couture outfit, proving it had the IQ of a fashionista


• prove the cleaners aren’t thorough because the dog hair remains for weeks


• terrify anyone who’d seen a gladiator film and knew your pet just wait for Cesar’s nod to rip out a throat


• harass the bottom-drawer doughnut druggies with their illicit French cruelers


• impress the babes

But, you’re no cynic. You know that’s not what Take Your Dog To Work Day is about; it’s about encouraging good dog press. You also know that the way to get good press is to have a delightful, well behaved dog. Is that what you took to the office?

• Your dog looked smart and well groomed, not merely cutesy, right?


• Your dog proved it was as potty trained as you are.


• Your dog had a glowing coat, smelled clean, and didn’t shed.


• Your dog cuddled with the cuddlers, but avoided the cynophobics.

And, to really prove that your dog knew what Take Your Dog to Work Day is really about—it didn’t hound the bottom-drawer doughnut stashers.
