He is very well-behaved and we make sure he does not "greet" people until he we know if they want to meet him. The comments are overwhelmingly positive. <br /><br /><br />I think taking your dog to work is a wonderful idea, as long as he/she is well-behaved and there are no issues with the other "human" employees. As a side note, you should not assume that because a business has a dog that you are welcome to bring yours in. This is often not a good idea.A Cleaner Place (JJ)http://twitter.com/vacshackcomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031530258657685977.post-31812128164171185852012-06-21T22:00:40.548-07:002012-06-21T22:00:40.548-07:00They were going to try this at our office but a fe...They were going to try this at our office but a few of us are very allergic to dogs, including myself, so it wasn't possible.

Well, you know the monsoon season in Arizona...poor thing. So I bought it through Bed, Bath and Beyond. If they don't have your size, then they will place the order and ship it postage free. I put it on him the other night, first thunderstorm...he was definitely calmer and just laid (sp) down under my husband's desk, stilling panting a bit, but relaxed. It is sort of like the "hug machine" created by Temple Grandin or like swaddling a baby.

Right now Toby is asleep next to my chair. He is tired. We had a thunder storm on Saturday, so he was able to try out his new Thunder Shirt and I must say he was calmer. But I really need to share my Happy Birthday post that I wrote about Toby last December.

Oh...Thanks for the link. Ghost is a beautiful dog!<br /><br />Oh, I agree with dogs getting out of the house. YOU are their world and you getting home is the highlight of the day.

She loooooves being able to come and also conks out on my lap all day. I really enjoy the lightness of having her around, plus the breaks in the day to go out for walks.
