Sam's Day at the Office

I decided today that since it would be a quiet day in the office that I would take Sam in with me. I've always wanted to do this, and since most of my fellow workers are on vacation, I thought today would be a good day.

Except for a barking issue that continued through the day whenever someone came into the office, Sam was very well behaved. I think he thought the office belonged to me and he had to protect it! I managed to squeeze in a few pictures, although not as many as I wanted.

Here is Sam in front of the office Christmas Tree.

You could've done this at home...


And here he is waiting for Mom to complete her work!

He could have done this at home!


He seemed to spend an awful lot of time waiting for me to do stuff...



So I finally put him to work!

I'm making copies!


One thing that was kind of neat about today was Sam's fascination with a full length mirror in the bathroom. I realized this must be the first time he is really seeing himself, and I think he understood who it was he was looking at! When I talked to him he would look at my reflection and make eye contact.


We are getting closer to Christmas; we hope you all have your shopping and preparations done!

  2. How fun is that to take Sam with you to the office! I took one of our dogs with me while I did some work at the church a while back. Rudi was getting antsy so I ended up tossing the tennis ball down the hallway for her to settle her down--The game need in time for someone 'with authority' to show up. They saw Rudi laying there so nicely and were so impressed--I 'thanked God' that he hadn't gotten there 10 minutes earlier!!

  3. How fun was that for both you and Sam! He looks like he fit in quite well. The shopping here is done, but oh the preparations - so much to do, so little time. Now all we have to do is enjoy. We send you wishes for a wonderful Christmas.

  5. Isn't going to the Office fun? Did you get to play Hall Ball? That is my favorite when I go with dad.

    Thanks for the kind words of comfort you left on my blog.

    Please stop by my blog on Tues. and Wed. to help me celebrate my 2000 post and my 6th Barkday! I am having a comment-a-thon to benefit canine cancer research and would love for you to leave me a lot of comments.

  12. How great to have such a great companion and hard worker to help out at the office. Sam, I hope you got paid for all your time and help in great big dog bones!!

  13. I love him looking in the mirror. I've always wished I could take our pooches to work.

  14. Sam is such a good boy to hang out with you at work. We are proud of him. I've taken my Goldens to the office many times, but not Lady (she is always at the office cause I am virtual)!! She would do OK in a real office, but would pester everyone endlessly for loves. That gets old after awhile.

    Missing AZ this year. May come down after the first. Hope to add to your dog friendly list again.

    Happy Holidays, from KT and Lady

  15. I think that your humans are trying to teach you that offices can sometimes be quite dull...

  17. Super!!!
    Next year, Monty gets to go too, right? PLEASE??!!!

    Sam, you'd look sharp in a tie (business attire, ya know?).

  18. Aww... and he seems pleased with his appearance, too! :)

    Of course, if Sam were a Samantha, there may have been some concern over the size of the thighs and stomach. :)

  25. I almost didn't recognize you with the necktie. You look very distinguished and so very executive looking.

  26. Hello Sam!!! How nice you are able to go to your mommy's work place! Keep warm and have a splendid Christmas!!!

    Lots of Love, Dino & Family

  27. Sure Sam could have done most of those things at home. But he was with you. And that's the biggest treat!

    I took Honey to work with me as a puppy. I think it was a big benefit to the other staff to have someone cute to cuddle when they were having a rough day.

    Hope you have a great holiday!

  31. Sam, we are stopping by to say "HI" and thanks for the Christmas Card. You are one lucky Fur-kid, going to work with Mom. That is pretty special. Our Mom's place of work would never allow this. We thinks it looks like fun for sure. Merry Christmas...The HoundDogs

  34. Hi Sam,
    How fun to go to work with your mom. I like to bark a lot too so that part sounds even better. My mom is cooking today...getting ready for Christmas Eve and it smells so good. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
    Love,
    Lexi

    My mom said she gets most of my clothes at Petsmart. Most places don't have XXL and they usually do. I don't think most Goldens wear clothes but I like to.
