our company's minority owner used to bring his flanders bouvier in... very good guard dog, naturally calm, naturally heeled to whoever was alpha, very cool dog. might have lowered stress because it was very calming if he came over to lay down next to you.
but then the majority owner had to step in and prohibit pets because a couple of customers felt intimidated (the type that's afraid of any dog).__________________________________________________ ____________________________________

He was less than thrilled.----------------

Dore is a good mine dog.

short skirts + low cut tops are really distracting at work. God bless 'em for pulling it off but it just ain't right.
