    I like dogs, but personally I don't think they belong in the workplace. Certainly not in an office anyways.

    Fish are good 'tho.

    Office For Dogs

    Maybe the company should rent another room for the dogs of their staff getting together and having fun.:grin:

    But, is it absolutely necessary to bring your dogs with you? This isn't like having a toddler in a daycare or something.

    ...you keep saying that, though. Is it absolutely necessary to bring your mp3 player to work? Of course not, but does it improve employee morale by a metric fuck-ton? Of course! Unless, of course, someone there hates dogs, heh... you do have to ask your employees, to be sure.

    Edit: the new b3d drinking game -- drink once every time poopy says "of course".... ;p

    Raise a dog,it's a kind of responsibility,dogs are sensitive animals,you couldn't leave him/her alone at home during your 8 working hours,in my opinion, if people who doesn't have enough time to take care of dogs,they'd better give up their intent to raise one at home.

    I would have thought the fact you had a complaint is enough to answer your question. The post where you state what had happened - the two puppies, etc - sounds fine to me, no problem. Is it possible the person who complained is either allergic or frightened of dogs?

    Seems a bit like a non-issue. Just dont bring dogs in, or if you have to, just dont tell anyone.
