FRIDAY, JUNE 20th is "TAKE YOUR DOG TO WORK DAY!"

Take Your Dog to Work Day (TYDTWD) was first started in 1996 in the United Kingdom and June 24, 1999 in the U.S. Created by Pet Sitters International (PSI)this day celebrates the great companions dogs make and encourages adoptions from local shelters, rescue groups and humane societies. The day offers a fun, summer Friday for U.S. employees to introduce their four-legged "best friend" to co-workers and PSI believes that dog-less co-workers will be encouraged to adopt when they witness the human-animal bond.
This is a great way to introduce your best friend to your job and co-workers. Your four legged friend will appreciate you so much more after they see all the hard work, schmoozing and BS that you take during the day from your boss and co-workers. And at the end of the day, you come home to THEM! Your BFF, (best friend forever), companion, child, compadre! Pure Unconditional Love.
I hope many of you include Rover, Oreo, Bear or whatever their name is and...TAKE YOUR DOG TO WORK TOMORROW!
Proven Fact: Having animals in the work environment significantly decreases stress and increases production.
Please consider adoption this weekend. Your local shelters offer so many choices.
Now, it I can only have my furry friends bring me some hot java in bed a few times a week vs "The Walk to The Latrine", at 5 AM, I would be ecstatic!

JUNE IS NATIONAL CAT ADOPTION MONTH

The American Humane Society has designated the entire month of June as NATIONAL CAT ADOPTION MONTH.
Please consider adopting a cat from your local shelter. There are approximately over 2 million cats ready to be adopted in shelters located across the United States. Dogs waiting to be adopted in shelters are at 1 million.
I rescued my 1st Siamese cat when I was 11 years old. I have since rescued 5 more Siamese cats. Our family consists of 4 cats in our home. They all get along and have their own personalities.
My last rescue was Sir Lancelot Longtail. I found him on the Siamese Rescue website: http://www.siameserescue.org/
Cats are misunderstood and really make very good companions.
Cats are very independant and smart. They are hunters and like to stalk.
A cat tree (under ($100) is important for them to jump and view the world from the top.
When adopting, please spend some time with the cat to make sure the cat's and your personality will bond.
Shelters will give you advice on how to take of your cat.
Send me pics of your newbie!
Enjoy and love your feline ;)!
