I’d love to see these (and 7 others) in a calendar. I’d buy one for my shop!
Tally is the best! What breed is she?
He’s a Border Collie/Sheltie mix that we adopted from animal rescue. I think he’s the best dog EVER but then I’m a little bias in that area. Still, I couldn’t imagine my life without him – even if he did eat my favorite hat when he was a pup.
My other dogs have always run away from the loud sounds of power tools but my current pup, a 2 year old weimaraner, will actually come close to check things out when, for example, I start the circular saw. Just a little dangerous, but I’m training it out of him.
Anyone else get this from their shop supervisor?

Unfortunately my I can’t let my dog in the shop because she hates vacuums. When I start my shop-vac for dust collectiion, she comes running from where ever she is in the house and has to “protect me” from it.
My dad on the other hand loved his shop cat, but sadly it passed away a few years ago.
Technically not a shop — I work in an office with a warehouse — but it’s been noticeably more tense around here after our longtime “shop” dog Lucy (golden retriever) passed last year, and the owner of her successor Max (Australian shepherd mix) quit earlier this year.
He could have left Max here, we’d have taken good care of him…
