If so, are you being kept company by your beloved pet?
Gazette readers have been in touch to share pictures of their furry, fluffy friends helping - or possibly hindering - them throughout the working day.
Today’s spread also includes pictures of our first tortoise, who is proving a welcome distraction for Rob and Gemma Binns.
If you’d like to share a photo, it’s not too late to join in the fun.
Send us some details by heading here.
