Canine Co-Workers Can Be a Handful (and a Carpetful)
It's 9am. Tell Rover it's time to clock in.

Now that the Stay-At-Home order is in action in Mecklenburg County, many of us in Charlotte have transitioned into working remotely from home. We still get to see our co-workers via Zoom or Google Hangout, talk on the phone and chat it up in our group messages. (Carol, PLEASE stop sending Minion memes). But, working from home means we get a whole gang of new co-workers.
Spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, children, and pets. We’ve all got to learn how to work together in the same space and some are adjusting better than others. It turns out our fuzzy co-workers can be quite a handful. So, we took to Instagram and Facebook to ask what your canine (and feline) co-workers were up to… and we got some AMAZING answers!
(Side note: Let your dogs out! There were a lot of answers that involved #1s and #2s on the floor… and last time we checked that’s not a great way to earn a promotion. And, you don’t even WANT to know waht #3 is.)
Here are a few of our favorite responses:
“My co-worker just threw up on the floor and calmly walked away. No, I’m not referring to Tim.” – Matt Olin
