The Buzz: Best Co-Worker Edition

When you think about how life has changed in the last year, there's one group who couldn't be happier with the way the world has changed; our pets. How many of you have dogs or cats that have spent the last several months growing closer to you and enjoying your company more? When looking through a Google search of positive news, it's refreshing to know that many animal adoption centers are running out of pets from the sheer amount of adoptions.  Waiting lists are now common when looking to adopt a pet. 

So who is YOUR office assistant / pet?  We'd love to see pictures of your pets in the comments below!  Don't have a work companion but love pets? We'd also like to hear about your favorite animal shelters, so give them a shout out and include a link to their website below. 

And now, on to THE BUZZ!
