[nagdu] Dogs At Work

[Lisa belville]

I had office/phone jobs with my first dog and chose to keep him harnessed. 
He had plenty of room to sprawl out and sleep, so keeping the harness on 
didn't seem to bother him.  I do the same with Katy if I do volunteer 
computer training at people's houses.  I'm working even if I'm not getting 
paid, and I feel like Katy needs to also reflect that.


I'd like an order of ambition, & a side of focus, and a large coffee. And 
could you super size that please? It really needs to last for the rest of 
the day.
