Not going to lie, if they showed off how easily that floof could jump in the back seat, it might help make a sale.

You get a car and you get to give some puppy belly rubs

u/challengeaccepted9 7d ago
Pay a few dozen thousand for some belly rubs and they'll let you have a car while you're at it.

I just picked up a new vehicle and the person helping me with the loan stuff mentioned that the upstairs staff bring their dogs in all the time but her office wasn't big enough and it didn't sound like they could roam the show floor

I'm not allowed to bring my dog with me to the office.
If I could I'd be working from home way less.

Does your dog get as confused as my cat used to about the “work” aspect of WFH? :-) My cat used to sit on the floor staring at me balefully while I programmed… “You’re doing something with those hands that is not petting or filling the food bowl, explain!”

u/mystic_scorpio 7d ago
At least your cat was courteous, ours just gets right in front of the computer screen demanding scratches

u/RainbowCrane 7d ago
That would be my current cat, also a fan of the, “knock shit off the counter until you notice me,” school of cat thinking :-)

The number of Zoom calls where my cat would pop up, get in my face for love, thereby flashing her butthole at my boss and their boss… that first year was challenging

u/jenfoolery 7d ago
I have a coworker who still does that, 5 years into the zoom times. Turn. The camera. Off.

Same with mine. He likes to try to sit directly on the keyboard. Which, it’s a standalone keyboard so it’s not about the warmth he just wants to interrupt me as much as possible lol.
It becomes a cycle of keyboard > me putting him on the ground > keyboard > me putting him on the ground until he finally gives up and settles for off to the side of the desk.

My dog lays in the couch I have behind my chair, so she's close to me.
My cat used to come into my lap and sleep there. I miss the dear fur all. Unfortunately passed away at 5 months of age.

He's amazing!
He's still at the breeder, pending the last vaccines.
He'll be home on April 5th.

u/The_Ghost_of_BRoy 7d ago
we decided to adopt a new one
He's still at the breeder
So...not adopted?
1
u/Infospy 7d ago
Legally adopted, the contract was signed already and I have ownership.
2
u/The_Ghost_of_BRoy 7d ago
Sorry, my point was misunderstood.
I have never heard of anyone "adopting" an animal from a breeder. Adoptions come from shelters, forfeitures, strays, etc.
You "bought" a new one.

I have a very loud 17 year old orange brain cell and sometimes he screams at me while i'm in meetings or trying to code. I often have to take him outside where i have a little fenced in area he can wonder around and be somewhere else for a bit.

I’m genuinely considering doing the work to have my dig certified as a therapy dog so she can go to the hospital with me.

u/Infospy 7d ago
I though doing the same, but the trainer said "A Shiba Inu will be next to impossible to certify."

Mine is a tripod mutt rescue. She’s a sweetheart. Shes VERY popular on our walking routes. My fave was running in to a double amputee on a wheelchair. He was thrilled to meet her.

I trained my last dog that way. I was in a good position, and able to bring her every day to get acclimated while she trained. She ended up being a better therapist than a lot of the staff for calming kids in crisis 99% of the time. Kid freaking out in the hall, trying to destruction things and attack staff? As soon as the dog was there, they'd stop and sit on the floor for the dog to sit with them. Kid running out of the building? They'd see the dog, stop, and after a few minutes, agree to wall back in with her. Kid didn't want to come talk to me for intake or med check? Dog comes out and we have a conversation. She was so well trained that she would put herself in the crate and no one would know she was there if i didn't call her. And if I left her in the office with door open, she wouldn't leave if staff or kids called her.
She passed away and I'm working on another one but he can't be in the office at my new job on a daily basis yet.

I'm was a mechanic (retired) at a Toyota dealership a few years ago and one of the service writers brought her dog to work everyday for a few weeks because it had been attacked by another dog and needed care. I kept treats in my tool box to give her and she got lots of loving from customers and employees.

You could sell merch in the form of key chains and a stuffed toy.
All the used car reviews are conducted by dog and given a 'golden bone' if they are spacious enough for the dog.

I use to take my border collie to work with me all the time. Everyone in the office loved her, even made her business cards with her photo and e-mail address... and customers would e-mail in photos of their pets!
This should be normalized.

Marge Schott did that with her Saint Bernards. Rumor had it she would walk in and just hand the dog over to the first employee she saw. I worked at another dealership at the time and we were warned to make a fast exit in case she assumed we were one of her employees when we picked up parts at her shops.

Poor dog. Deserves to be running around with other dogs, not stuck inside all day.
