Take your Dog to Work Day

My mom couldn't get it arranged for me to come with her today. Sigh. She says they're having SNAKES instead because it's 'Catch the Reading Bug' month at the public libraries.

So I thought I'd share photos of when she did take one or two of us to work.

This is Pongo Bongo. He visited when the Summer Reading Club theme was BOOKS AHOY! The mascot for the state was a beagle as a swashbuckling pirate. My mom tried really hard to put an eyepatch on Pongo but he refused.

Here he is so bored. My mom is the computer librarian so she has geeky stuff everywhere.

Another year the theme was 'Get spotted at the library' which, of course, had a DALMATIAN as its main character. So Harley went to work, greeting everybody as they came in the door of the library. Five staff members dressed up as dalmatian 'puppies' with stuffed socks for ears and painted black noses and spots. They had a great time. Here she is with my mom in the library parking lot. Isn't she pretty in her red bow? Maybe next year I'll be able to go to work with her at last. Until then I'll keep dragging her robe down the hall to the couch and waiting for her to come back to me.
