urge to herd Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Since my husband left me in July, one of my major concerns has been my here-and-there long work days. I'm self-employed and I can't afford to turn down work, but I don't like leaving Gibbs for more than 7 hrs. I know most dogs do fine, but he's had to get used to a single human home. If I have a few long days in a row he gets pretty antsy. And there is sometimes a commute of 45 minutes or more each way. So now two of my semi-regular clients, (one lives a half hour away, one 45 minutes, if traffic is okay) have both said for me to bring Gibbs! We're trying out the closer one tomorrow. This lady is a dog lover, and doesn't currently have one, so she's pretty excited to have Gibbs 'help' us. I'm very touched that these folks are making my life and Gibbs' life a bit easier, just because they can. Life is pretty darn good.

Shetlander Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 That is great! It is a kindness to you but I bet Gibbs will be a welcome guest and it will be a win-win situation for all involved. I get to my dog friendly office about once a week and each dog has his fans (coworkers and customers) who seem to take great pleasure visiting with them. Quinn even has a command, "Go say hi" that means quit lounging on the love seat and go schmooze at the front desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue R Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Gibbs will love being with you and going to visit your clients, I am sure. Sounds like a win-win to me! Very best wishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G. Festerling Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Well....I think they are being awfully selfish because they want that handsome young man around! But all kidding aside...wonderful of them to offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Elle Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 That is so cool. I have one client who is disappointed if I come to her house without Digger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
