My office mate came up to me and asked if I want a stress relief.
Sure, I said. All I have to do is stay away from you.
Not only that, she said, there are two dogs in the other side of the office.
Hearing the magic word., dogs, I quickly run to where the dogs are and someone is already having the time of her life.
Mind you, I had an assistant last year, Daisy. She did a good job in messing up my desk and ate my reports.
In the summer time, colleagues bring their beloved fur babies to work for show and tell. I must admit, animals do provide some stress relief. I wish I can bring my two cats to work but they are so attached to their home.
Do you bring your pets to work?
Photographs and Memories 
Great Post!
In my research on stress relief for http://relaxationways.com I have found many articles claiming pets are great to relieve stress. They can make you laugh, will make you feel loved, give you exercise, and a sense of responsibility.
Dogs are always happy to see you and make you feel special.
Get One…
Oh, they always make me smile. 🙂
Animals have that effect on humans, you know? Makes one feel good.
I wish I could bring my two golden retrievers to work. The best I get is a guide dog puppy trainer in the same office building. It comes to visit the other floors and I catch them in the lift lobby 🙂
How about wearing dark glasses and pretend that your doggies are your guide dogs 😛
what a fun idea. and no, Timmy would not be amused to be in my office. his couch would be too far away, and his floor, and all his toys… 🙂
Cats are such homebodies and lazy bodies. They ain’t moving!
that is purr-fectly true! 🙂
Pets in a furniture is definitely not encouraged.
Daisy is exempt, she’s my assistant.
Lucky you!
They made me smile 🙂 what a cool idea, I bet they release some of the pressure and/or tension at the workplace.
For the time being, it’s a great break away from the seriousness of work 😛
no pets for me at my work – Ivy, my dog would not be a good match for a classroom of 30 adolescents. I do have a colleague who has two therapy dogs and she brings them to school on Fridays, very well behaved and great demeanors. Kids respond well and so do the dogs. it’s all good. looks like you had some serious stress relief.
Oh yes, summer is the time for them to visit work. Very casual when school is closed. We do have a visually impaired instructor that has a guide dog. Can’t really disturb the dog at work. And once a year, there is a show and tell, bring your pet to school. At church on St. Francis’ day, we have a blessings of the animals.
What grade do you teach?
Having Sir Fergus and Miss Poppy at work I think would be a bigger distraction for Hubby then a calming influence – we’ll save their hugs for when he’s home, lol! 🙂
You got that right for those fur babies, they are so needy. Tee hee….
