What would you eat first?
A baby or a puppy? http://www.parentsconnect.com/editor...chair-mess.jpg http://www.top-dogs-names.com/images/cute-puppies.jpg |
Working in retail, I have found there will always be someone who is unhappy with something.

<scarcasm/kidding> The kid. He's covered in chocolate and I hate coughing up hairballs |
I loved bringing dogs to work, until someone brought theirs in after hours and left it unsupervised....
The dog (they said it was a dog, I suspect a large horse) left a huge fecal deposit in the lobby which I did not see until after our General Manager stepped in it and tracked it down the hall. he was furious! I ended up not only having to clean it up (since no one took responsibility till the next day), but I had to write a memo to entire company about the "unfortunate fecal incident in the lobby" which now meant no one could bring their pets in to work. Generally though, I do prefer animals to people. |
I just signed up to do foster care with a local non profit who takes the dogs out of our kill shelter/pound and socializes, vets and trains them, all ready for a family of their own.
This poor girl is one of their recent cases. If any of you can help, please do... http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/16261026 |
I would draw the line at bringing pets to your place of employment, just like I don't think people should bring their children to work. It's distracting and makes you less productive.
If there was a Chocolate Lab in my office I would -never- get anything done because I'd be too busy giving headscratchies and saying things like "you've got nice armpits! you've got nice armpits! yes you do!" |
I say yes bring dogs ad long as you supervise them and leave the kids at HOME.

Wait. Are we eating the things we like most or least first?
I would eat all three at the same time in a stir-fry. But just the feet. I only want to eat the feet - since that is the cutest part of all babies (animal and human). |

An estimated 15% of the population is allergic to pet dander. Of that number, 1/3 have a pet in their household. (AHS) As a "scentsative" person, I can understand the stance of keeping your pets at home due to allergies. Pet dander is one of the leading causes of chronic asthma. I am allergic to both cats and dogs yet I am owned by 4 beautiful dogs and 2 weird ass cats. I willingly take responsibility for waking up every morning with itchy eyes, a semi-closed airway, having to take pills, nasal spray, etc because my pets are my family. I will vacuum every day/wash bed sheets EOD, etc because that is what family does (insert heart smilie here). That being said... I am a stickler about pet hair being in places that have food. I don't really want to see your dog in a restaurant or a grocery store that I frequent, but don't mind seeing one in Home Depot, Micheal's, B&N, etc. They make any number of people smile, crouch down and talk in baby talk as well as generally look silly. To me, they are people's children so yes, they will treat them much the same as human ones. I know that I have an allergy. Knowing is half the battle. I say, take a wide bearth around the animal and bring your meds. |
I'm one of those people who would rather work with a room full of Gracie's than the chip-cruncher, the lady with the REALLY loud and annoying cell phone jingle, and the "burper".
Oh, and my dog pees outside and not all over the seat in the women's bathroom. ;) |

I love to bring My dogs to work :) One at a time of coarse :) |
Certified service dogs are coming to mind.... people that use them do like to eat out sometimes... I've trained and used therapy dogs in my practice. I also used one of my therapy boxers while coaching people going for their state board clinical oral exams. An amazing anti-anxiety, calming tool! But, the dog always got the thank you card after they passed and were licensed!
I'm a pet person and take responsibility for my pooch when out and about. He does need to have manners and if someone could have an asthma attack around him, I would leave him home. However, I find that I just avoid non-pet people at this time of my life. I don't date anyone that dislikes animals (re: my profile). Why would I put myself through that? No one is that wonderful. Also, I was with a partner that didn't like dogs (she liked cats), and I never will be again. Too stressful. My dog is family and so are my cats. And I have a very clean and tidy home. Investing in a Sebo vacuum cleaner was one of the best things I have ever done! OK, Kobi… I said oral exam up there….. :boink: |
