And another one of my old favourite shots.. enjoy!

Pet Friendly Offices

If you could bring your pup to the office, would you?

Many organizations are becoming increasingly pet friendly and their employees are more balanced, creative and happier because of it. Imagine how great it would be if you received a nasty email that causes you to utter something under your breath, only to look down and see your pooch curled up for a cozy nap by your desk. We all know that our dogs make us more active and healthy, but they also do a world of good for our mental state. I'm all for allowing pets at the office, and am happy to see more companies embracing their four legged family members.

Here is an example of one great Toronto based company doing just that...

The benefits are vast, but include increased productivity and morale, willingness to stay late, increased comraderie among employees and decreased stress levels. Here's hoping 2012 brings more businesses that embrace a pet-friendly office!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Hard to believe it's 2012 already. I'm excited about the prospects of new beginnings and making some progress on the shop front. I'm working on some fun designs for coats, collars and accessories, and hope to be sharing them in the shop soon.

Cheers to new beginnings & Happy 2012!
