The past few weekends, I’ve had plans to be out of town. If Mia were a cat, I’d have no problem leaving her home alone Friday until Sunday. However, she’s not a cat, so I need to find Mia-sitters. Most of the time she stays with my parents, but occasionally friends from my office have offered to watch her. Since my office is completely animal friendly (one of my coworkers used to bring her dog in every day for 5 years, until the poor dog passed away), I bring Mia in to work with me, and she hangs out, and then goes home with whoever is taking her. When the office is full, she runs from cube to cube visiting people and hanging out. She’s pretty quiet and only barks at the UPS truck (something about the sound of the engine bothers her ears) and one of our furniture dollies. At the end of the day, when few of her playmates are left, she crashes under my desk and snores.
