| Do you take you Yorkies to work? Do any of take your Yorkies to work? If so, what kind of job do you have. I might have to change my profession! Anyway, I'm trying to talk my boss into letting me take my Yorkie to work when I get one so I dont have to pay for day care. haha unless he gives me a raise! anyway, he just smiled and "it will chew my office up". anyway, he's my father in law and I've got him wrapped around my pretty little finger and hopefully I can get him to say ok! |

| Yes. I bring mine occasionally. She loves people and sometimes asks me to bring her. She starts missing the people she really loves here and so I bring her along. She loves to go visiting. I always ask her if she wants to go visiting and she knows what I mean. I don't dare ask her if she wants to go see so and so, because she knows their names and she'll start crying and won't stop until we get to the office! She's spoiled rotten. I have an office with no one else to share it with, so it doesn't bother anyone else. I love to bring her along though. It's lots of fun to have her with me. After she's through visiting, she settles down and goes to sleep. I'll tell you, though, she is very tired after a morning at the office and is usually sound asleep when I go back to the office after lunch.

| The job that I am at right now allows me to bring Jesse in every day. He loves the office! I work as an executive assistant at a Dental Supply company. It is a fairly relaxed company with the added bonus that my boss is my brother-in-law, so he generally was open-minded when I asked. I'm trying to get Jesse slowly accustomed to being alone for longer periods during the day, because when I return to school in the fall, he will have to be alone while I am in class, which would be anywhere from 2-6 hours daily. |

| One deciding factor on getting a puppy was whether or not i could bring her into work with me... i figured if my boss brings her gigantic Newfoundland to the office once an a while, i could bring my little yorkie puppy right? She was totally fine with it as long as she doesn't potty anywhere she isn't supposed to! I work in a law office, just my boss and I. Its great!

| I bring Gracie every once in a while. I have a desk job so it is very boring for her. She usually sleeps while I work. She loves my boss and my secretary sho she really loves going to work with mom. I usually take her for a few hours after I pick her up from the groomer. I took Holly only once, simply because she is so little and not yet trustworthy with the potty training. She is also such a little monkey that she would never sit still long enough for me to get any work done! When she is older I may take her in, but our office is moving in with another so I won't have that ability much longer. Bummer.

| Well if you have family that will probably work out. I sure had to come up with something so I could be home with mine. So I decided due to my health and wanting to be around my lovable puppies to make a home business. So that is what I'm doing. My website should be up before long and you all can buy things if you like. All due to these precious babies.

| OK now I really want to bring my babies to work with me too. Do you guys ask or was it already known it was allowed? I just sit at a desk all day so it wouldn't be a problem at all, I just don't know how to ask |

| I work an 8 hour office job but out of my own home.....so my baby is with me all the time. I have a large reading chair that butts against my desk. Cooper comes up and talks to me and lays on the back of the chair. And when he gets bored will walk right up on my desk and try to still my pens (his way of saying enough already take a break). One thing that has worked wonders for me is when I have conference calls to keep him busy/quite is give him his kong with his other toys. That way he is still in the same room with me but the kong filled with his treat will keep him busy while I am on a conference call and no barking.

| Ever since I got my dog she has come to work with me. I have my own business so I get to make the rules! It's really helped with her social skills as she has probably met about a thousand people and she is always happy to see anybody new. |

| Scooter comes to work with me every day. I work for a land survey office and they say he's the lead dog on the survey crew! I have a playpen by my desk and he's very content! The owner of the building stops by every time he's here to see if the "guard dog" is on duty! |
