On Saturday - April 11 (12-3PM) at Pier 23 we will be celebrating the life of sweet Golden Boy - Brixton At Large the iconic Heart of San Francisco with an epic Love Fest Memorial.

If the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, I'll be happy if they only stayed at $4 a gallon. This situation is bound to impact budgets for commuters significantly.

The new role was prompted in part by a disturbing case last year involving a dog that had been stabbed by her guardian live on social media. The dog's former guardian was ultimately sentenced to two to seven years in prison, and the dog has since been placed with a new family.

"It wasn't in the cards for me to have human children, so [my dogs] are my whole world, and everything that I do in my life really revolves around them."

When my startup was raising $35 million in Series A funding, it was naturally a very intense period for our company. We were heads down, with everyone coming to the office early and leaving very late, five to six days a week. Coming out of that time, one of our team members brought her dog, Ollie, to the office, and he kind of became our secret productivity hack.

But on days when more staff are required to be in, office spaces can feel noticeably busier and noisier. Despite so much focus on getting workers back into offices, there has been far less focus on the impacts of returning to open-plan workspaces. Now, more research confirms what many suspected: our brains have to work harder in open-plan spaces than in private offices.

Sharing a bed with your pup can strengthen your bond, and for many people, waking up next to a happy dog is one of the best parts of the arrangement. But, according to Pet MD, there are practical factors to weigh before deciding. Dogs often stay alert even while resting, which means they may wake easily and disturb your sleep when reacting to small noises or shifting around during the night.

Resume Builder reported last October that 30% of companies will eliminate remote work in 2026. According to a survey of business leaders by Vena Solutions , a private financial software company, 83% of CEOs globally anticipate a return to full-time office work in 2027. But what if there's a better way to frame this conversation? What if the focus shifts away from where employees are working to when employees are working?

It's a compact that most organizations claim to honor. Yet despite investments in collaboration tools, team-building retreats, and carefully designed office spaces, something fundamental isn't working. According to Gallup's 2024 State of the Global Workplace report, one in five employees worldwide report feeling lonely at work often -a rate that hasn't budged despite all the interventions.

One TikTok video is going viral for capturing a Dalmatian who appears to have fully embraced her new position as household operations manager. The clip blends work-from-home life, dog humor, and one very on-the-nose country anthem in a way that feels almost too relatable. It is funny, a little chaotic, and exactly the kind of wholesome internet moment that makes scrolling worth it. If you need a laugh between meetings today, this one absolutely delivers.

The clip opens with the dog sitting beside his mom on the couch while she works on her laptop. It's clear that the pup is deeply inconvenienced by his mom's working situation. Text above his head reads "Worst day ever," perfectly capturing the dramatic tone of what's to come. Within seconds, he side-eyes her to make sure she's paying attention, then begins softly whining, as if to say he's been patient long enough.

They have an uncanny ability to understand human cues and commands, making them easy to train. This intelligence is a boon for work-from-home individuals, as a clever companion can learn routines quickly. Imagine having a dog that understands your work schedule and respects your "do not disturb" times. Their intelligence means they can pick up on subtle cues, like when you're on a conference call, and adjust their behavior accordingly.
