Get happy @ work: A doggone good lunch

Article

This veterinary team member says her lunch has gone to the dogsand thats just the way she likes it.

At lunch break I sit with the dogs who are stressed out. They actually nap on my lap and are better after lunch for the rest of the stay. Here's a little Jack Russell named Chester who came in with a temperature. He wasn't able to settle down, so I sat with him until he was more calm. I actually crawled into his cage, and he crawled into my lap.
