alpha bet Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Mine come to work - however I kinda cheat because I work next door to home - so suppose I could fall into category of working from home....lol. Although I do get to choose whether to take them with me when I also work away. Kylie works with me and she brings her dog to work - she loves it.

TerraNik Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 If I could, I would... But I don't think the hospital would be a big fan The patients might think it was a little odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jata Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Meeeee .. Winnie gets to come to work, she can be a distraction for the staff but she also generates business as she is very popular with the customers & locals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I have offered to bring my dogs to work with me so we don't need as much security ... but I think the boss was a little offended when I suggested we could use his office to set up the dog beds for the day. So unfortunately they get left at home to look after the house for me while I am at work ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Bronson Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 We have taken our dogs to work with us for years and have a run behind our workshop. Our puppy and 3 year old come to work. Our 8 year old after my elderly mum moving in with us stayed home and made mum feel safe with him on duty and mum on her own, but strangely our older boy isn't interested in coming to work anymore............because he gets pats, cuddles and treats all day off mum, staying home for him was the better deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeckoTree Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Not me, it would be great if I could, but I wouldnt be very productive if my dog was with me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odin-Genie Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Not so lucky. I wish I could. My dogs could quietly sit in my office. But I work in a multistoried corporate building. Don't see that happening very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvus Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I have on special occasions, but usually only for a few hours. I went to OH's work with them last weekend for a few hours and they were quite good, but Kivi got so many cuddles that he went into cuddle withdrawal and started whining if he'd been without cuddles for ten minutes.

Lucy's mama Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yep, I do! Not all the time, and not Banjo atm because his recall isn't good enoughand I'm tying not to let him make mistakes. I work in a production nursery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyda62 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I am so lucky. I have the best boss in the world I have 3 dogs and I take 1 to work with me everyday. My husband takes the other 2 to work with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagsalot Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Ive taken Riley to work a few times. He's really good, but it gets a little awkward if clients come in that don't like dogs etc. So I only take him if necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Mine used to take turns in coming to work, I'd take a different one into the salon each day. I can take them to work now if I need to and I did take one that was recovering from surgery a few weeks ago. It's wonderful to be able to do that and beats worrying about them.

Gretel Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I wish mine could come with me but i work in the fruit and vege markets...not to hygenic i think if he came with me, though i have to say they arent supposed to smoke near the food either and they do that :/ I'd rather your dog near my fruit and veg than the smokers any day I work in childcare so can only take mine in for a visit if I'm not working. The kids love seeing them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollywaffle Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 This is always a bit of a sore subject with me. Whilst I adore kiddies, I get a bit aggrieved sometimes when people bring their children in to work - and everyone is accepting, but if I fronted up with my lovely, well behaved little twosome..well, it wouldn't happen. Bit of a double standard I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetzer Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 There's so many benefits to having pets in a workplace. I know GOOGLE is an example of a progressive work environment big on the idea. I found an article about it here. Benefits include: - employees relax, reduce stress and heart rate and even lower blood pressure - decrease in absenteeism - improved staff morale - people smile! (a real smile, not the plastic replica you'd normally get) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
