I work in an office of 25 or so women (oh and one man). It would be so inconsiderate to have a pet (guide dogs excluded) in the office. There are allergies and fears to think of. For instance, I am allergic to cats. I don't know if anyone would be allergic to my dog or even my kids' hamster. I think absolutely not! I work in an office of 25 or so women (oh and one man).

Problem is my work place is my home. LOL I feel for you dear. I do not have any advice though. I have dogs in my work place that are at times obnoxious beasts. Problem is my work place is my home.

They're just regular dogs when they're off the leash and it's such a treat to have them lolling around the office. Being labradors they're friendly (or at least friendly to anyone who has food in their hand...) and being guide dogs they're well trained so are no trouble. I loved having a dog to pat during the work day, it's a great stress reliever. In the past, I’ve worked with visually impaired workmates who had guide dogs.

So really I say, it depends! I think you should call Victoria Stilwell from "It's Me or the Dog" - sounds like it would make a great episode!
