Impeccable timing!

[numptynoelle]

Madam spangle has been suspiciously good lately (you should see her recall atm, amazing!)but she chose today to have it all come crashing down...

We’ve had a bit of a campaign to have dog(s) in the office – and finally convinced Elfin-Safety and the Big Boss Woman to tentatively agree to the idea in principle. So far so good – it’s only taken us 2 years to get to this point...

ANYWAY, today we brought in the two dogs that would spend the most time in the office (there will be 4-5 on occasion, but mostly these two) One of the miscreants is Madam and the other is a very lovely Daschund (called Boris )

After behaving beautifully all week, Madam decided today was not a day to play with Boris, in fact she squealed every time he looked at her – in a “he’s gonna kill me Mum!!” way. No idea what caused it, they’ve known each other for years and he’s never even so much as looked at her in the wrong way. Hmph.

So – sitting in a meeting room, trying to salvage the meeting by convincing everyone “she really just want to play with him” (whilst wrapping her lead firmly around my chair) – bouncy spangle decides she DOES want to play with Boris. I realised this as I was flying not-so-gracefully backwards off my chair with spangle making a bid for freedom. She ended up flat on her back at the feet of my boss and Boris.



So did I.

We’re not having dogs in the office for a while..... ...and I have a bump on my head. And the uncomfortable realisation I've flashed my pants at the Elfin-Safety man

Nooooooooo

Would some pics of our doglets at work help convince the Elfinsafety man? They have never killed anyone yet

 

[numptynoelle]

He made me fill out an accident report as he thought I was concussed He's retiring in 2 years time though so all isn't lost....is it?!

Piccys of Henry will always be appreciated though - but must conform to ElfinSafety so his squashed by a desk pose may not be helpful

 

[blackcob]

What jobs do you do where they'll consider dogs at work?! I'm trying to imagine her ladyship coming to work at with me and have dreadful images of her nicking food off the buffet table and jumping into bed with terrified groups of school children.

 

[Spudlet]

Here he is, very safely putting his blankey away as it could have been a trip hazard

Here he is under the desk - note the lack of destruction

Here he is contributing by destruct testing an old lead rope

He's so helpful!

Otto would love to come to work with me, but I feel that old adage don't work with kids and animals would definately apply - I have visions of him looning around, spooking ponies and kids hitting the deck left, right and centre!
He'd not be much use at mucking out either, due to his aversion to pony poop (thank god!!)

 

[Spudlet]

Henry and our Health and Safety man have a loving friendship

Mind you, Henry doesn't know that this

was his idea, for when Henry wasn't allowed to walk up and down stairs after his op Nothing to do with my health and safety you understand - he was worried I might drop him

 

[Spudlet]

Here he is, clearing away more trip hazards

He's part of the team

 

[numptynoelle]

What a helpful boy! I shall be thrusting those piccys under everyone's nose tomorrow. Along with a cake to apologise for the inadvertent flashing

I think she's better off staying home with the OH - he's always (unintentionally) flashing his pants to the postie/meter reading man/random canvassers

Ooopsies!

I think B would be awesome to bring to work.

If I worked in building demolition. Or medical research.

Wee Sis would make a very pretty window dressing, it has all she has ever wanted to do, sit there, look pretty, not have to do anything and get lots of attention and praise for it....

 

[numptynoelle]

I think B would be rather confused by Boris - he looks a bit like a rat but has a surprisingly booming woof. Scared the poo out of me the first time I heard it - I was expecting a mastiff and this tiny little thing trit-trots round the corner.

Bella is more than welcome to come and act as window dressing - there will be a spangle winging her way to you in return

 

[CorvusCorax]

I'd love to say B wouldn't make a Boris sandwich but I'm not so sure, barking at him is usually an invite for trouble

My mother would have Bella in a jiffy bag, yesterday!!!

I really wish I could take Jack to work....he'd be ace. He's so cute the finance directors wouldn't get rid of me just so they could cuddle him more.

Sorry numptynovice but that has really made me laugh, dogs always know when to let you down big time don't they. Don't fancy my chances of taking any of mine to work, can you imagine hairy, permanently moulting shepherds in a clothing shop I could of course take them to the cleaning jobs with me but suspect that would not make my job any easier, although one house already has 3 collies and 3 cats so another dog or two probably wouldn't make it any worse.
