A friend of mine owns a very successful engineering firm. When you walk into their office, you are greeted by several dogs wagging their tails and with smiles on their faces. I think it is a wonderful practice if you can make it work. They have a way of taking the pressure off work and putting things in perspective. Meet Howard, AKA “Howie”. He sits under my desk while and looking down on beautiful Lake George and busy on my computer. This retirement thing is wonderful. I hope you will be here soon. I am grateful.
