Pets at work?

What are your thoughts on bringing pets to the office (and letting them roam around)?

Same way I feel about kids in the workplace: No.

ROAM???

Hell naw!!!

Keep'em in your cube, at your desk, but ROAM!!

I really really really really wish there were cats in my office. It would make the workplace infinitely nicer.

So when I open my own business, there will be shopkitties. I don’t care who’s allergic.

"Pets" No

Service animals - Yes

In my industry we do use animals for certain reasons eg. customs, quarantine and protective services (feds) use beagles and labs to sniff out drugs etc. Apart from that IMO absolutely no 'pets' at work. They do not belong in the work force with their owners.

a few people bring their little dogs in to work, everybody loves it. I have no problem w/ it, as long as it's not a big dog roaming. & the little ones are always w/ their owners or tucked away in an office. Wouldn't mind cats since they tend to be quiet, as long as the smell of the litter box doesn't waft around It brightens the day for a lot of people

Hell no! Unless you work in a pound, pets have NO business in the workplace.

our leopard gecko, Gator, sits on the counter in our office...he's a great conversation piece when customers come in...alot of people are pretty pissed when they have to deal with us, so it's helped to subdue more than a handful of folks...

A colleague of mine brings her Alsatian with her to the office. It's very well educated, doesn't roam - but stinks like hell Really bad dog smell.
And at 5 in the morning... I'm rather sensitive. But she's been around way longer than me and no one else minds. So I gotta accept that one.
Chose the furthest desk away from it though.

"Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies -
tongue-tied and twisted, just an earthbound misfit, I"

Three people here have dogs and bring them in. The dogs are quiet and don't smell; but I just think it's weird that they are here.

Dogs are always nice.... until they fart.

my dog used to go to work with me every day. sometimes he still does,
he absolutely loves it and no one seems to mind. they all like him a
lot and he's quiet. won't go up to anyone unless they call him or are
coming over to play with him.

sometimes he'll sit like in the above picture for a few hours and just
stare at me while i'm at work

Mr.Gator looks beautiful and I´m sure you all take good care of him but I bet he´d feel a bit happier if he had more space and a bit more than a stone and some sand. Is that just his workplace terrarium or is that where he stays all the time?

Give the poor guy more space, a UV lamp, and maybe throw in some dried roots or stones.
He looks very healthy though.

since they are a nocturnal breed, Leopard Geckos do not require UV light...he has a heater under one side of his terraium, and a red heat lamp that sits atop the terrarium for the colder months to regulate body heat(red because the red light does not disrupt their nocturnal pattern)...as for the size of his home, he used to live in a 20 gallon terraium with climbing nets, and more rocks...he still chose to spend 100% of his time on & under the rock you see in the pics...their natural habitats are the deserts of Pakistan, northern India, and Afghanistan; so rocks and sand are the norm for this breed...so, atleast to me, it made no sense to keep him in a larger environment when he was perfectly happy with the small amount of real estate HE chose...I guess I could have made his home more aesthetically pleasing for people to look at, but instead I gave the poor guy what he seemed to enjoy the most...

he's a cross between a german sheppard and a jack russel

weird combination but it makes for a very nice dog who's
extremely clever and intuitive, guards like all hell and
is a great companion dog.

Irish Diplomacy: The art of telling someone to go to hell, and having them look forward to the trip.

My give a damn is busted.
