It's a Dog's Life

Ruff day at work. Studies have shown that dogs in the office reduce stress, boost morale and increase productivity.  We couldn’t agree more!

Our dogs bring a positive energy to the Boom offices – though on occasion they have been known to interrupt a conference call by barking at the Fedex truck.  Even so, there is nothing better than having those cute little faces look up at you during a particularly "ruff" day at the office or nudging you for some love to put things into perspective.

Perhaps, the best coworker anyone can ask for is a dog – dogs are a willing sounding board, they remind you to take a break every once in a while and they understand the value of a good nap.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A BOOM DOG

  • 8:00 AM:  Saunter into the office.
  • 8:15 AM: Spin around in circles until I find the exact perfect spot to lie down and get ready for a ruff day at work.
  • 8:30-10:30 AM: Power nap and chase rabbits in my sleep. #NAPTIME
  • 10:30 AM:  Bark at Fedex truck until I get told to stop #ICANDOWHATIWANT
  • 10:45 AM: Wonder what that clicking noise is she keeps making with her hands – will she ever find the time to scratch behind my ears?  Maybe if I beg or nudge her just a little. #BEHINDEARSCRATCH #WINNING
  • 11 AM – 1 PM:  Recharge batteries from hectic morning with powernap #2
  • I PM: Take walk, mark Boom territory and try to delay going back to office
  • 1:15 PM:  SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!
  • 1:30 PM: Is that lunch I smell?  Is she going to share?  What about me?  I haven’t eaten since the slop I got for breakfast.  So hungry.  Put ears back, look cute, open eyes wide and beg for treat.  Yummy!  #WORKSEVERYTIME
  • 1:45 PM:  Rawhide break.  #CHEWYCHEWYCHEWYCHEW
  • 2:15-2:30 PM:  To whom shall I bestow my belly today?  Who does not seem busy?  Yeah – that’s the spot. #BELLYRUBSARETHEBEST
  • 2:30-5:00 PM:  Finally! I get to rest before going home.  Only 3 naps today – not a record but not shabby. #LETSLEEPINGDOGSLIE
