Hi

Hope all is well with you and your dog.

Taking your dog to work is not a new idea as I am finding out by sniffing around. There are tons of businesses doing this. A confidential source urged me to check one out right here in my backyard in Minnesota as an example.

My source also revealed that there was a good looking stud, Max, at this site and to publish this in order to be a model for others with dogs. I liked it because it was both informative and stimulating.

Imagine an engineering firm, which I think would be stiff and boring, bringing their dog to work for petting and talking to. These guys have heart. If an engineering firm can be loose and caring, anybody can. They deal normally in hard facts not fuzzy pets and dog lingo.

Dogs rule.

Hi

Hope all is well with you and your dog.

Did you see the NYTimes article today advocating the taking of your dog to work?

I have been a strong lobbyist for this kind of action for years. People take their kids to work and bring their work home. Why not a dog?

If businessses work better and people are more relaxed. Why not take your dog if it improves the bottom line and makes you feel comfortable? I have gotten some of my best ideas hanging around the editor (Robert) while at work. (Not that he is a dog.)

Your dog will be your confidant and let you pet him as you talk to him, listen to your great thoughts, not interrupt except to cock his head in agreement, and never gossip to your staff.

Hi
Hope all is well with you and your dog.

I know well the importance of getting a shot or two. Back in Embarrass, MN. my home town, I remember there was a dog, Charlie, who never had any vaccinations, for whatever reason, and died a nasty death from rabies. I don’t even like to think about it but I must warn you so it isn’t put off or forgotten.

Rabies in dogs is characterized by an incubation period of 20 to 30 days. This is followed by a period of excitement, when the animal becomes vicious. The excitement stage may be evident or may be entirely absent. Paralysis then develops, first involving the hind legs and thereafter becoming general. Death occurs within 10 days following the first symptom.

Active immunization is the introduction into the body of killed or safe microorganisms for the purpose of stimulating the body’s defense mechanism. This concept is also applicable to other species like the dogs.

Historically the area of veterinary medicine had not yet realized the potential benefits of vaccinations. It hasn’t been until recently, that veterinary experts formulated certain solutions so as to combat the alarming increase of death in dogs. Namely, most of the causes are viral infection.

With the inception of vaccinations, many dogs were saved from probable death brought about by many diseases like leptospirosis, hepatitis, upper respiratory infections, and parvovirus.

Like humans, dogs need vaccinations even at an early age. That is why it is important to immunize puppies so that they will survive until they are fully grown.

Basically, puppies get their immunity from their mother’s milk, which is also the same as that of human beings. However, these immunities tend to lose their effects by the time the puppies are already 6 to 20 weeks old. It is during this time that they have to be immunized.

Hence, in order to protect the puppies against infectious diseases, it is best to give them their shots and they should be re-immunized after 3 to 4 weeks. In this way, the puppies will be able to endure any infectious disease that may come their way.
