It’s no secret that we are living in challenging times as of the past week or so — Hoboken and Jersey City have confirmed cases of COVID-19 and many companies have encouraged or required employees to work from home in response to growing concerns about the virus. Now, it can get lonely working from home — it’s you, your laptop, and maybe the faint sound of the TV or a podcast in the background. But fear not, as many of us do have one little co-worker we can still count on {and maybe snuggle with} — our pets!
To start a new, uplifting series on HobokenGirl.com, we reached out to our readers in our Facebook group to share some of their furry, four-legged coworkers keeping them company during these trying times. Meet some of the pets {and check back every Monday for some new furry faces — please submit your pets to [email protected]}:
Katriāna + Belle
“My cat Belle’s favorite spot while I work in the office,” writes Katrianā.
Jenna + Winston
“This is Winston. Winston tries to sit on my lap while I’m working, which obviously makes things very difficult. So I got him his own chair in hopes that that’ll satisfy his need to be 2 inches from me at all times,” Jenna shares.
Rachel, Max, + Murphy
“I may be home working hard but Max and Murphy surely are not 🤪,” says Rachel.
Ar Jay Bee + Bubba
“This is Bubba! He even goes to work with me sometimes,” says Ar Jay Bee.
