Last Thursday through yesterday I watched Benson whose parents don’t work on The Hill like all the other dogs I watch. Sadly for him he had to brave a few hours at home alone Thursday since we were still in session but Friday he got to come in and make a new best friend! Bella, a German Sheppard, made her first appearance on Friday and Benson loved playing with her!
She was so gentle and when she had to go to a meeting Benson was so sad and waited outside her door for her to come back!
Benson also saw his other friends like our Staff Assistant for the mandatory belly rubs!
As well as see some friend he had made the last time he had been in but I don’t think he remembered!
Overall I think he had a fantastic Friday at work! Monday wasn’t near as fun as there were not as many dogs at work so he had to work more! As you can see he really put in a lot of work!
It is a RUFF life if you ask him!
So this is what you do in congress... you play with dogs, paid with people's money.

Hi bud! Yeah some offices allow dogs to come in! Given the high-stress environment, it has been shown to help boost mental and physical health! Sometimes dogs even appear on the Teams calls with other agencies and departments! Amazingly these guys and gals manage to do just enough to keep our sanity!

boost mental and physical health!
LOl so even worst than I thought... politicians really have mental health problems... so why in the hell we are paying them?
reply
Naw its only when the Members are out of the office bud. When just us regular folks are here having to negotiate
reply
wow so even worst than that! the politicians are not even in the office, supposedly working... fucking scumbags. The insanity goes way beyond imagination... and stupid people still pay taxes to sustain this total bullshit.

You sir are well stupid cause its election season!
Also sorry mental health matters! Such a shame to see someone like yourself unable to grasp the very critical component of life but ya know you do seem primed to be in the camp that PTSD doesn't exist and that shell-shocked soldiers were just weak people.

Be aware, being a gov employee, you are the slave not the master. You have no right to say anything. You just obey people's demands. So please STFU.

Ehhhhhh actually no but ya know if it makes you sleep better at night more power to ya bud! Considering we decide for ourselves what we work on and what needs to be addressed.... swing and a miss for you but thanks for trying!!!
There is always next time friend!
