If it’s June 26, 2020, it must take your dog to work day!<\/h1>\n

Under ‘normal’ circumstances on a Friday, I would be working from home.\u00a0 Since we went under lock-down in my area in late March, things have been far from the norm.<\/p>\n

This year the last Friday in June, which falls on June 26, I’ve booked the day off as a vacation day (I have my doubts I’ll use all of my allotted vacation time before the end of the year). However; I’ll still be working in a sense.<\/p>\n

This afternoon, I’m doing a reading from one of my adult (not that kind of adult material for you people with dirty minds – and even if it were, I would choose a PG13 rated passage) novels for Seniors Centre Without Walls. Best of all, the only requirement is I have a phone. A conference call is the order of the day. I like that even better.<\/p>\n

So what does this have to do with taking your dog to work today? Well, nothing really, except I am taking my sweet Buddy with me when I do the reading. He can sit in my lap whilst I read and answer questions. At least I hope there are questions from the virtual audience.<\/p>\n

Here’s my sweet boy. He travels well – doesn’t trash hotel rooms, bark a lot or have accidents indoors – home or away. This picture was taken at St. Hubert in Quebec City.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On days I’m working from home, he’s usually in the kitchen with me. Sometimes he wears my phone headset but as cute as he is, he’s rubbish at taking my calls.<\/p>\n

My Buddy even has his own book<\/a><\/strong>. Well, in that I wrote it and he and his four fantastic furry friends star in it.<\/p>\n

Here he is on a work at home day.<\/p>\n
