I love this cartoon over at Draw the Dog. The pup keeping a close watch on his domain reminded me of Bella. She’s always keeping an eye on things. I often find her barking at dogs down the block – she can see them, so they must be on her property, right?
Anyway, I think it’s the perfect opportunity to share some photos of Bella’s daily patrol… enjoy!
Technically, my Friday was yesterday because I will not be heading into the office today. Whenever those wonderfully short work weeks arise, I tend to refer to the pre-weekend Thursday as my Functional Friday. Until today, I’d never considered what to call actual Friday under these circumstances. After a few attempts (Second Friday and First Saturday are in the reject pile), I’ve decided to go with Supplemental Saturday. Never fear, your No Frown Friday is still being delivered as scheduled:

Finally, I do feel a little bad for only giving you one punny pet name this week. Luckily, it was apparently a punny week out there on the Interwebs… so if I didn’t meet your pun quotient this week, I urge you to check out these canine literary luminaries. (My personal favorite? Kurt Vonnemutt.) The puns don’t stop there – not all of these unusual pet names are puns, but I think Bing Clawsby deserves a mention. Have a puptastic weekend!
This Friday is Take Your Dog to Work Day! Will your pup be digging out his best business casual attire and accompanying you to the office on Friday? (Some dogs have taken full advantage of this opportunity in the past – check out the photographic evidence here.) If you are interested in participating, I urge you to check out the TYDTWDay website to learn more about how you and your company can help shelter dogs by participating.
As you may already know, Ms. Bella is not really… portable. Her tendency to get carsick from the gentle sway of the breeze outside means that she will not be hopping in the car to join us on our daily commute. However, I like to think that we take her to work on those days when one of us works from home. After all, when I work from home she tends to hang out under the desk in case her assistance is needed.
If you do decide to take your furry friend to the office with you, I recommend checking out this list of tips on how to make the day a success for you, your pup, and your colleagues. Before your puppy punches his first time card, it’s important to be prepared.
Still not sure? The video below provides some adorable and funny reasons you should consider participating:

If your pup gets his W-2 this Friday, consider entering your photo in the TYDTWDay photo contest. Also, if you do participate, feel free to tell us all about it in the comments… stories and pictures are always welcome!
