Ripley’s list of reasons to have a dog while you’re working from home

Early risin’ is pretty much guaranteed, giving you plenty of time to get up an’ get ready for work.

Early mornin’ walks will get the circulation going ready for a productive day. You can listen to useful training podcasts while you walk. Or you can talk to the dog. We like bein’ talked to.

Doggo distractions provide incentives for mini-breaks throughout the day allowing you to stretch your legs an’ rest your eyes.

We are always very int’rested in everything you are doin, especially if it might involve snacks, or playtime, or walkies or anythin’, really.

Listening ears are ready to listen attentively to your ideas without judging them or telling you why they won’t work. We will for sure not get upset by frustrated ranting at absent boss.

We provides useful backdrop and distraction in interminable Zoom meetings.

Doggie behaviour can also be used as aa ready made excuse for leaving meetings that run on too long: "I’m sorry I just have to walk the dog/feed the dog/save the dog from the cats/see what the dog has destroyed in the kitchen".

Dogs are proven to be far more effective on mental well bein’ than stress toys.

We will not judge you if you knock off work early. (We don’t really do judgin’. We’re happy you’re here.)

Cuddles an’ hugs are always available. Dogs can work out when you’re havin’ a bad day

If you need a duvet day, we’re with you all the way on that one.

We will always be ready to assist you in eatin’ your dinner so you don’t overeat. Helpin’!

We are happy to provide a useful and relaxin’ end to your workin’ day and unwindin’ time by lettin’ you go for another walk with doggo.

At the end of a hard working day we are delighted to demonstrate relaxation techniques to help you drift off into peaceful snoozin’.
