I take my dog to work very often. Some clients request she be there!
To: HuntsvilleTxVeteran
People bring their dogs to work everyday at my office. It wouldn't be so bad if they were potty trained. Nothing like a salesrep trying to entertain a client all the while fido is in the hall taking a dump and scooby and daisy are getting it on in the board room.
I don't believe I'll ever have a dog.

I like dogs, especially big, lovable dogs. But, this idea or trend or whatever it is, is just plain dumb.
Leave your dog at home. If necessary, get your dog a nanny or take the dog to a kennel.
If that's good enough for your kids, it's certainly good enough for your dog.

I have a friend whose dog goes to work with her every day. She works in an outdoors store, and the dog has his own name tag. He even has a spot in the window where he can go nap if he wants to.

I agree with you. Unless you work in the corner pet store, leave Fido home. In my office, a manager (high level) was having work done in her house so brought her two dogs to work - for 10 weeks! Both dogs were so small they could fit in a specially made purse, but they barked at the mail guy and sometimes sounded like they were shredding somebody's leg. Being a manager, nobody complained.
Dogs in the office? How about dog hair, sanitation, and noise to start? How about if I brought my 2 Jacks, Lincoln and Polk, to the office?
Pardon the pics...

I used to bring my dogs to work alot when I worked for a vet, but of course, it was appropriate. I also used to bring a dog to work about once per semester when I was teaching. It was a big hit with MOST of the kids (there was often at least one who would jump on the desk and scream, occasionally they were actually petting the dog by the end, but I didn't force them to get near the dog, and did not let the dog off leash unless all of the kids agreed). We always used the dog in some way during class. For instance, when we were doing bacteria cultures, we used a swab from the dog's mouth, and one from a human mouth to compare which had the most bacteria. It was always fun.

I don't believe you for an instant.

Sure - the owner of the company - guess who's dog shows up at least twice a week.....
I suppose I wouldn't be so sour about it if I wasn't allergic to the hair. I just have to stay on allergy meds. I feel sorry for mr. owner when and if we ever move out of this office - the floors are horrid. I brought my own air freshener so I don't have to smell the little beasts.
The dogs are cute as buttons, but jee wiz they are a headache for me.... wonder if I can sue?? /jk
To: redlocks322
I think I would find a different job! I know that may be easier said than done, but your boss sounds like a true jerk.
