I like my dogs so I prefer remote work, but to answer the post itself

Questions:

do you find that you’re working smarter or harder? smarter definitely, try debugging and teaching your dog to DROP IT at the same time. Gotta be smart for that.
What are the benefits? I can pet my dogs whenever I want to.
The challenges? My dogs are very demanding and want my attention most of the day.
And given the choice, would you ever go back to the office? no, I find the demands of my dogs more reasonable than the demands of a boss/coworkers.

Yet SOMEHOW everyone at the office has heard of my name even though I'm remote. Whenever I'm there they'll be like "Pandita? I've heard of you but never see you around, it's so great to finally meet you!". How did I do it? not sure. But at least they know and recognize my work... and also the dogs 😂

Haha! Plus, I'm right there with you. I love working with my cat on my lap.
