Ask HN: I work from home and my dog looks depressed

2 points by lsiunsuex 7y ago ↗ HN

As the title says. I fortunately was able to score a web development job from home a couple of months ago. I love it and have no complaints.

But my dog? Not so much. I have meetings; I have work to do; I can't play with him all day. 4 year old american bulldog / pitbull mix.

I make it a point to take him to a walk at the dog park on lunch pending the weather.

I give him a little food when I have lunch or a snack.

But otherwise, he lays there looking all depressed all day.

What'd you do when working from home?

looks depressed does not mean it actually depressed. There was recent article in The Atlantic about dog’s eye contact. Your dog is million times better position than the dogs are alone in pretty much 9-5 period including mine. Having said that, Today is Friday, I came home and went with dog in nearby park in a toasty California sun..
