our skytrain ride into work was fairly uneventful. i did notice a few ppl step away from him as he got on. i like to think of myself as a considerate and respectful person (except when it comes to complaining - i'll blog about that later), so i made sure leon stayed out of reach of everyone - he didn't lick anything, he didn't step on anyone, and he sure sat nicely against the pillar :-)
i had hoped to get to the office by 7:30, so we could have some quiet time, and get him settled, but we were running late.....my commute was an extra 15 minutes because of puppy. anyhoo, we finally made it and took a tour around the office to say hello to some ppl. he was a big hit! leon had ppl rolling on the floor with him, it was ridiculous! yes, everyone was dressed in their business casual, but it didn't matter :-) i designated a few play times for leon and my co-workers, so we wouldn't get interrupted throughout the workday. i think when the leash and jacket go on, the puppies know that it's time to "work". he was the best behaved puppy....he slept at my workstation, and he played with his toys, and he was soooooo cute! a few times he got too comfortable and i had to pick him up to get him going, but come on, he's just a baby!
i think our employee engagement went up 500% on this one day alone - we should've done a survey - but our productivity probably went down as well (especially mine!). even ppl who don't like dogs wanted to get a peek at him, and commented on how well-behaved he was. all in all, he was a great hit in the office.....i can't wait to take another one to work with me!
when we finally came home and he was off-duty, he went crazy! he had so much pent up energy, that he just ran around in circles for a while. when i took him back to the training centre, his friends were so excited to have him back! i let them all out in the "yard", and they went nuts, running around and barking up a storm! renee thinks they were probably asking leon where he had been all day!
