It started off as a favor, “Can I bring my puppy, Baxter to work today?” And in the days that followed, everyone kept asking, where is Baxter? So he started making an appearance at the office a few days a week. Now, I can’t leave home without him. He knows the morning routine and as soon as he hears the car keys, he is waiting at the door. When we get to the office, he makes a bee line into every office to see who is here. He greets you as if he has never seen you before, so excited and happy, it can’t help but put a smile on your face. I mean seriously, do you get greeted by anyone in your office with such positive energy? The difference in the office atmosphere when Baxter is here, is incredible. The moral is much higher, the motivation of the sales team has increased and the boss is much calmer. But beware when you enter, he we might look cute and sweet but he will surely greet you at the door with a loud excited vocal bark and crazy twitching tail. And be cautious of where you step as the office floor is now covered in toys and treats. We are not sure who has more fun, the employees playing catch on breaks, or Baxter chasing the balls or toy squirrels up and down the halls. When things are busy, he knows to lay low, but when it’s time for Lunch, you better watch out, he will be glued by your side. When tension in the office gets high, Baxter will zero in on you and demand your attention, as if he knows petting him, will soothe the mood and ease the tension. It is a win win for us all. He might not be a “Certified Therapy Pet”, but in our office, he most certainly deserves the title of “Therapy Pet”.
