Is it also at the SLCC ?<br /><br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/3357035/Its-a-dogs-life-at-work.html<br /><br />It's a dog's life at work<br />Belinda Smith.<br />Published: 12:01AM BST 16 Sep 2008<br /><br />It may sound a bit barking, but there’s no need to leave your dog behind when you set off for the office, writes Belinda Smith<br /><br />Every morning, Dougie Irvine goes for an hour's run before he prepares for work and sets off on a half-hour walk to his Edinburgh city centre office.<br /><br />Once there, tired from his exertions, the trill as Windows is launched on the PC is his cue to take to his bed, lie on his back, stick his feet in the air and doze off for the rest of the day.<br /><br />Fortunately, Dougie, a nine-year-old terrier cross, has no important matters to attend to. It is his owner, Jane Irvine, the Scottish Legal Services Ombudsman and chairman of the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission, who has to deal with the business of the day.<br /><br />Dougie is one of those fortunate dogs across Britain who are not left behind when their owners go to work, but go with them. It is something that The Blue Cross animal welfare charity is keen to promote when it holds its 13th annual Take Your Dog to Work Day next Wednesday.<br /><br />Its aim is to encourage dog owners to spend more time with their pets by taking them to work every day and to experience the benefits of the practice - to themselves and those around them.<br /><br />Jane and Dougie don't need convincing of the advantages. Dougie has been going to work with Jane since she acquired him. "I've been taking him in since he was a pup of seven months," she says. "For me, it's much better than leaving him behind. If I'm late, I'm not thinking, 'I have a dog at home, I must get back' and I feel safer walking home at night."<br /><br />For Dougie it means company all day long. He has his own bed and a water bowl in Jane's office. "I have a dog gate, too, so he can't wander around all over the place," she says. And as far as the reactions of her colleagues and those people who visit the office are concerned, it works well. She is always careful to check that no one is allergic to dogs, though - if someone does have an allergy or a dislike of dogs, she uses another meeting room.<br /><br />"It's never caused a problem," says Jane. In fact, she has found that it has the advantage of making her clients feel more relaxed. "An ombudsman's office is seen as terribly formal, so it makes me seem slightly more human."<br /><br />Also, as with the presence of dogs in other workplaces, it's a great stress-buster. "I'm dealing with complaints all the time, which is stressful, so it just eases that," says Jane.Barking Madhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/3357035/Its-a-dogs-life-at-work.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-58006033036763531942010-02-10T04:17:02.337+00:002010-02-10T04:17:02.337+00:00This legal riff raff are an example of human natur...This legal riff raff are an example of human nature at its worse, they ruin lives because it only affects the victim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-88412069712349587702010-02-10T01:22:47.197+00:002010-02-10T01:22:47.197+00:00Ombudsman and their kind are the same kind of peop...Ombudsman and their kind are the same kind of people we found when entering the towns around the concentration camps in Germany.Everyone said "Oh we didn't know" "We had nothing to do with it" "It couldn't happen here" "The Fuhrer would never do such a thing" and even when those people were forced to go round the camps to see for themselves they still denied it.<br />=====================================<br />YES AND THESE PEOPLE ARE THE MOST CONVINCED THEIR ACCUSERS ARE WARPED.
