As another one of the lucky ones who work from home, I know what you mean. (Yes, I should be working right now.) Any time I get a bit stressed out from what's going on with my duties, all I have to do is go to the next room to get a leather lipped kiss or a furry hug. A bit of barking while I'm on the phone is a small price to pay for the sight of a pink tummy or button nose and the feeling that I am never alone.
