After a few weeks of using video teleconference technology from home, the novelty of seeing your coworkers in their pajamas or one of their pets jump in their lap while they’re talking has probably worn off. You might be looking for other ways to inject a little fun during these stressful times. Why not invite a burro to your next work meeting? Or a chicken? How about a horse? Maybe a bison?<\/p>\n

You can book one of the animals at Philmont Scout Ranch<\/a> to join your Zoom or Google meeting by visiting the “Home on the Range”<\/a> page. There, you can request one of these animals as a silent observer or one you also hear from, along with the videographer. Prices and availability vary, so check the page<\/a> or order through the Tooth of Time Traders page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s a fun way to stay connected to one of the BSA’s high-adventure bases.<\/p>\n
