Pets in the Workplace

[Boxer Frenzy in Oregon]

:D My Husband and I own our business. We bring Bailey along when the sitter can't watch her.
The UPS and Fed Ex guys come by just to see her. The Fed Ex guy actually brought Bailey a present.
It was great. I love having her with us. She's a treat. She just sleeps and plays a little.
We love her with all of our heart. lovicon

I'm a field engineer, so I work at a different location everyday. Even if dogs were allowed, I work on high voltage power equipment and having a dog there would be hazardous for him and me. (I wouldn't enjoy being pushed into a 540 volt battery system.):(

I work in a big office building that doesn't allow dogs inside. I'm a lawyer (no jokes, guys! ) and I doubt my clients would appreciate my two girls stepping on their documents or hanging up the phone - two common events at my house! :rolleyes:

I brought Sammi to work until he was around 6 months old. I work for a small private company. They say it's still ok if I bring him but I think they would rather I leave him at home. I do still bring him about once a week. He got more gifts from my co-workers than I did last Christmas.

Well, I can't exactly bring pets to work since I work at a grocery store! But my main job is at home so does that count? :D
My husband could bring them on occasion if he wanted to and we have, for short periods of course. When we were in Texas and had to get Corgan ready for all the quarantine requirements he was at the hangar a few times as were some other pets. We only had one car and I had to drop hubby off and would hang around awhile. They have even done family runs for PT on occasion. ALL family members are welcome. But the Army is a little different than most places.

I was working for my father-in-law when we first got Kaia. She came to work with me every single day. One of the salesmen, in particular, was very fond of her. When we go to visit, it's on the days that he stops by. my f-i-l's got a big warehouse and fenced in yard that the dogs get to run around in. They love going in to work to see grandpa.

Now's even better though, I'm getting ready to start school in Sept. so I took the summer off. I love being at home with them all day!

 

[PSUHeather]

well yes and no
I'm still in college, and I've brought Trace to more than one class. She just slept on a sweatshirt at my feet during class and ran around the football field between class. I start a babysitting job in a few weeks and work as my Dad's office assistant, so they will/are be with me then. However, the board of health wouldn't be pleased if they worked in the deli with me. Oh well... I hope to start my own business after I graduate in December.

I am very lucky. When I first got Maxxie, I took her to work first all day with me and then half days. All my coworkers fell in love with her so I bring her in once in a while so they can play with her and see how much she's grown.

I take Rocky once in a while too, but I don't take both at the same time because they get really loud and chase each other around the office, bark... They think my workplace is a playground :p

There is also a big pond with ducks that is completely fenced in. So I take them both on week-ends and let them play and swim off the leash. They LOVE it. They start crying as soon as they realize that's where we're going (I don't tell them or they go crazy!!!)

 

[PSUHeather]

oh Karen, I am soooo jealous! It sounds like you have a lot of fun at work. :D
