I'm working at home today and I know some of you work from home daily. You have my respect for having self-control because I have spent most of the morning kissing these dogs :)
 
Ha!ha! Work it!!!! :yes:
 
HAHAHA! That's exactly why I could never work from home. You've got it double hard though.
 
What self control? I've been doing it for just over a year now (since we got Blue), and I think I'm done. The need to go back to the office, at least part time, is overwhelming because I'm not as productive. Plus, I miss getting dressed up and seeing people.
 
I did it for 2 1/2 yrs and it was hard. Brutus wanted to play and I wanted to play with him. I finally gave up and came back to the office.
 
They do make it hard to concentrate on work. :)
 
I wouldn't know but i'd love to give it a try! Would never happen though in my field.

Jennie, you're gonna have to practice some self-control...must be tough though!!
 
I work from home not that I work everyday but when I am in the office Ftse sits down beside my chair and we often stop work and play and have little talks and when he is in his deep sleep snoring I just have to keep looking at him smiling how beautiful he is and how lucky I am his mummy

I have been working at home for over 8 years now and while I do miss the office from time to time I hope to never have to work in one daily ever again. Harlea and I have a daily routine that we go through.

0730 take her out from breakfast to go potty and she gets her vitamin and morning kefir.

0800 I start work and go to my desk. Harlea gives me a kiss and goes back to chewing on her bone.

0830 Harlea will come up under my desk to say hi and the look out the window for about 30 minutes or so to people and bird watch.

0900 Harpea visits me again and I give her a head scratch and belly rub for a few minutes while I am on a call.

0915 to Noon Harlea heads back to the living room to take a nap and watch Animal Planet. She loves Dogs 101 and Tanked. Or she will plop down in her play pen next to my desk and nap.

Noon to 1300 is my lunch break and I take Harlea out for potty and then we take a short nap together.

1300 to 1500 Harlea plays with all of her toys and visits me off and on for head scratches and belly rubs.

1500 to 1600 is nap time again until mom gets home if she went to work.

1700 I get off of work and play with her a bit before dinner time.

Rinse and repeat the next day. I wouldn't give it up for the world. Harlea is awesome when I am working. She has learned that she needs to be quiet when daddy is on the phone... lol

Surprisingly it didn't take her too long to get used to it. There are some variations from time to time but that most of the time we stick to the schedule.

You two have got a good schedule going on there! Ruthie napped the day away and brutus looks out the window all day. It was me and my no self-control that kept bothering them. I got a lot of housework done too. Note...I have a TON of work to catch up on today LOL.

We try. I think if Harlea had come when I first started working from home things would be much different as I wouldn't have had my routine yet.
