Let's face it most people start off small especially if they have a new and growing business. Many hours might be spent working out of a spare room or making an office out of an unsavory basement. This is a necessary step for most people who are just getting off the ground with a limited budget for office space.

But what happens if your feeling unmotivated or having a creative block. What if you need to meet with new clients or want to collaborate with others to share ideas. The solution is called "coworking". Coworking is a way to work independently but have a shared work environment with others. The unusual thing is that most people who share these work environments are typically not employed by the same organization. Coworking can be summed up as a social gathering of like minded people who are interested in working and being surrounded by other talented people in a common space.

Coworking can work for a multitude of people like entrepreneurs, freelancers, corporate work groups, and mobile workers. For many people who work from home or travel, coworking can give them a break from the isolation of the home office or hotel. The spaces are usually very inspiring and offer a great alternative to the local coffee shop or cafe. Most offer affodable daily rates for those who just need to get away once or twice a week.

Many coworking spaces are popping up around the country as more people are finding out about the benefits of these collaborative work environments. The next time you are heading down to your home office or coffee shop to get some work done consider giving coworking a try.

Your welcome. That is all I have to type.

I can speak from experience that having a dog in the work place makes for a more productive work day. At Happy Dog Web Productions, our mascot "Alphie" always keeps us smiling! He helps us stay creative with his encouraging sloppy kisses and excited tail wags.He makes sure we stay on task and even makes us get our exercise when we take him for walks. We love having him in the office as there is never a dull moment. He is great at keeping us happy and boosting morale. Try bringing your dog to work sometime and you will see the difference it can make!

We've all been there. You're having a lovely stroll. Just walking somewhere. You see some nice trees, wave high to people and... wait. What's that smell? Oh, no. Somebody just let their dog go number 2 and just kept walking. Just ignored it. Wow. You'd think in today's society where tobacco is banned nearly everywhere, restaurants have to use special kinds of fats and oils, that we'd be more concerned with something like having poop all over outside. Yes, certain cities have adopted a "law" making it so you have to clean up after your dog. But, honestly, have you ever seen a cop come racing up to a steaming pile of dog poo, and try to find the perpetrator? Laying a chalk line around it and roping off the scene? Okay, that is a bit far. But the point is that even though it is a law, people still do it, and nobody cares. Kind of like Jay-Walking or failing to yield at a crosswalk.

There are signs all around that say "leash and curb your dog". So what does "curb your dog" really mean? It doesn't have anything to do with a curb actually. Curb is used as an actual verb here. There's your English lesson for the day. To curb is to "lead (a dog) off the sidewalk into the gutter so that it can excrete waste." You really gonna make Fido squat over a curb? Just bag it, dispose of it, and move on. But what if it's pee?

Purdue University is doing a lot of studies on animal urine and the damage it can cause. Dog pee is the elimination of all water soluble toxins and overall bad stuff and has an excess of concentrated salts. Coming from Minnesota, I know how much salt can damage the grass growing along roads and walkways. It is not just salt that does the damage though. It also is the acidity. Particularly in female dogs, acidity levels are high enough to cause damage to bushes, grass, small trees, and even large trees over a long period of time.

So, if you care about your surroundings, then yes, you have to watch where your dog pees.
