Employee Appreciation Day at For Love of a Dog

In 1995 Workman Publishing created Employee Appreciation Day to promote a focus on all employees in all industries on employee recognition.  Employee Appreciation Day is always celebrated the first Friday in March.

Though it's easy to get bogged down in the day to day tasks of running a business and writing a blog, there's no way I could forget how important and valuable my staff is to me.  

And we're celebrating!

 Brand new toys!  Jeffie, Rudy and Rosie got to choose their favorite.

 Jeffie scored the stuffie.  

Though he seems to be pretty interested in what Rudy and Rosie selected.

Rosie and Jeffie both had to inspect these

 Classic Cremes dog cookies from Three Dog Bakery.

It's a security thing, of course!

They seem to pass through the security check.

 

Once Security was finished with their examination, 

Rudy was happy to chow down some party treats!

Truthfully, every day is Employee Appreciation Day at For Love of a Dog Jewelry! Without my very special employees, there would be no Talking Dogs blog and certainly no dog jewelry!

Giving Back #GivingTuesday

 First there's Black Friday.

Then there's Cyber Monday.

Today is Giving Tuesday.

Giving Tuesday is a movement to create a national day of giving to kick off the giving season on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving.  Today is the second annual Giving Tuesday, celebrating the chairtable activities that support non-profit organizations.

In 2012 the Giving Tuesday movement had more than 2,500 recognized #GivingTuesday partners from all 50 states of our country.  More than 50 million people worldwide spread the word about Giving Tuesday.

Talking Dogs is the official blog of For Love of a Dog Jewelry.
