Pets in the Workplace

[brodix's mommy]

Does your employers allow pets (dogs) in the workplace?

NO! But I wish they did

YES, I am allowed to bring my baby to work, ( I work for an attorney) I don't bring him everyday because it can get very busy around here. But on the days when we are not so busy he usually tags along. I love it, but I am going in college now so I know my next job will not allow him to come to work. So I am enjoying it now.

I work for my dad, so on the occasion I bring my pup in. I hate bringing them because it's a shop and it can get noisy and it's dirty. She has to stay in her crate anyhow, because people are in and out all day and it gets hot. So I think she is better off in her crate at home watching Animal Planet in the air conditioning.

Nope, not me...unfortunately. I work in an executive sales office for Walt Disney World and pups are not exactly a right fit for this type of office set up. I wish! Hershey would be perfect since he's so calm. He would lay right here by my feet all day, follow me wherever I would go and right back again. That would be heaven!

I bring Foster into work 2-3x a week. He just sleeps in my office. When our pup comes home I may bring him in a couple times too, but it'll depend how he behaves and how easy he is to potty train (I'd feel bad if he peed in my office!)

 

[Floyd's Bruiser]

Not a chance. I wish though. I think it would be kinda cool to have bruiser running around here all day.

 

[boxerprincess]

Yes!

I alternate bringing both dogs in once every few weeks...

But I had Mackenzie in with me for nearly three weeks when he was a pup and had all his health troubles.

My coworkers LOVE them and it would be sooo much fun to have them here all the time, but its kinda hard to interrupt a conference call and say "oops, can you give me a few, my pup has to go potty".

None of my jobs in the past would allow that. At my last job, my office manager would occasionally bring his Chesapeake Bay Retriever in, but on a rare occasion and when no bosses were in. I hope that in the future more places of employment will allow this, it would be less stressful. To those of you who can bring your babies to work, I think it is wonderful, and you must work for great people.

Unfortunately I work in an office... and they do not allow pets... however right after Kneesaa had her ears done my boyfriend Ross, brought her in when he picked her up from the vet so I could make sure she was ok... everyone came over and she ran around licking everyone... but she accidentally peed on one of my co-workers when she picked her up and all over the rug of the department, :eek: so we haven't brought her in again! But I would love to keep her under my desk while I work...
