Bringing a new puppy to work

Question
We have a 9 week old puppy. I was wondering what you think about taking the puppy to work?
My job is pretty relaxed, I have my own office but I can get stuck doing something for a couple hours. I think I'm most worried about the car commute to and from work. Any advice?

Answer
Hello, well now this is dificult..he cant be left in a hot car for more then a few minutes even with the windows all the way down in which case he would be in a carate made of wire not plastic and could be stolen or still die of heat stroke. In the office if left alone he may bark adn get you in truble. He will need to go out to potty every few hours your boss may not like this unless you are the boss lol then theres no problem. This to me sounds like a good idea and if I could have taken my last puppy to work with me all summer I *Would have but she would have been it a very ot truck with the windows Part down all day as I do lawn care...she Would have been let out every few hours and the wind would cool her during the dirve to the next area but it still was very inpractical and since she is a Boston terrier and cant breath  extremly well in hot weather I thought better of it and Left her in our cool basement suite! if the office is cool and not overly hot can stadn some noise from ht epuppy and your boss isnt deathly allergic to dog hair or salivia go for it its beats being home all day alone.
