Bring your yorkie to your work? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

michiko · 01-03-2007, 12:39 PM

I am just wondering how many people bring your yorkie to your work....

I bring Haruka 80 % of the time... She is really good to my participants (clients).. I really need to figure out about more training.. I really want her to get certified as a therapy dog...

You are sooooooooo lucky to be able to take your dog to work with you.
I wish I could at least a couple of days. Lucky pup.

Man I wish...lol. It would be great. I would love to bring Lulu with me. She is so small she can hide in my desk drawer or on top of my desk with my stuffed animals....lol. Lex on the other hand would not like it here. He would get bored.

bdbmamaw · 01-03-2007, 12:47 PM

That is great! Wish I could take mine!

Let me know what you decide about the therapy...

I am currently taking Sammie to training for her Therapy work. She has to take a Beginner's Obedience Class, an Intermediate and then an Advanced Class. She will then have to take her Good Citizenship Test for her Certificate. I'll then get in contact with a local Therapy group and see what further training she might need.

Most Petsmarts can get anyone interested started on the required training. I am going through a special trainer here in the Houston area. I can ask if she knows anyone in your area if you like.

If you do get her started, please keep me posted.

I only wish I could bring him to work with me! Unfortunately, it's not even an option.

stedmansmommy · 01-03-2007, 12:58 PM

She is so cute sitting in her little drawer!

I had to click on this thread when I saw it because just today, when my sister came over to eat lunch at my house (she was on her lunch break from work) she was BEGGING me to let her take Stedman back up to work with her. I told her NO WAY!!!!! She kept saying, "Pleaseeeeeee let me take him...everyone up there would LOVE him!" Like I care! LOL

She works at one of the high schools here, and there are ALWAYS kids coming in and out of her office - no telling WHAT might happen to my baby. Plus, I don't want tons of people passing him around like a sack of potatoes

I work in my home - so I guess you could say he goes to work with ME every day too lol

But you are lucky that you get to take your baby with you - I know there are alot of people who AREN'T able to - so I'm sure you are the envy of alot of people

What an adorable picture!!! That is sweet!

When I worked at our local university, I had just bought Mojo and he stayed w/ me all that summer (for about 3 1/2 months) - I had my own office in a small dept w/ about four other offices - all ladies and they all loved to see little Mojo!

I am home now, so he is w/ me all day! Yay!

Good luck w/ the therapy! I have looked into that for Mojo, but that is about as far as I have gotten w/ it. Would like to go for it too because he is such a well tempered dog and loves to be around people!

stephluvsangel6 · 01-03-2007, 01:28 PM

man am i the only one whos dog is off the hook and runs around stark raving mad? i wish mine was well mannered enough to take to work but the whle day i would be liek awwww look at my baby and my bosses would get tired of it, and tell me to take him home, they wont even let me son stay with me for a couple hours here,

sassypup · 01-03-2007, 02:00 PM

only when the boss is out of the office

I wish I could do it every single day. The office coworkers love love having her around as she walks up to everyone and is a complete social butterfly. If only. Hopefully no one rats me out one day.

Katys mom · 01-03-2007, 02:09 PM

Katy only comes with me to open the office. We have a routine. Open both doors, turn on all the lights and walk over to daycare (or run, Katy).

She stayed with me once during our office Christmas party. They brought all kinds of dog treats for her. But, she threw up on my boss. Soooo, she doesn't stay any more.

laurenhorne · 01-03-2007, 02:22 PM

T.O. has come with me since I got him....we had major health issues when he was a baby so I just bring him until he is a bit older and weighs more..I just hate to leave him alone.

dcbroom · 01-03-2007, 02:44 PM

I have a jewelry shop and I bring Chewy to work. He loves to greet people when they come in the store!

Safire · 01-03-2007, 03:18 PM

I wish I could bring Tetley to work every day! You're so lucky you can!

Actually, I did bring him to work today - I'm on vacation this week so I just stopped in to show him off to my co-workers. He was a huge hit! He's such a social little guy. Everyone fell in love with him.

michiko · 01-03-2007, 03:19 PM

It was funny that I didn't even ask my work if I could bring my dog.. I just started doing that

They couldn't have said no..

Many of my colleagues stop by my desk at their break time

Josie's Mom · 01-03-2007, 03:34 PM

Awww....what a great picture. I really wish I could have Josie with me all day. She isn't even allowed to come and visit.
