| Does your Baby go to Work with You? I just started taking my 2 year old to work with me after some heavy negotiating with my bosses. They made an exception for me since Jewel has a medical condition that could require emergency medical attention. Conditions are: 1. She has to stay confined under my desk. 2. No one can visit her. 3. I am to keep it a secret as much as possible. Please don't get me wrong, I am very grateful she can come to work with me. But... I'm already feeling pretty bad because I have to leave my 8 year old Jazzie at home (alone), and now Jewel is stuck under the desk for hours at a time! She gets to stretch her legs on my two 10 min. breaks and 1 hr lunch. She is potty trained, friendly, clean and very quiet, so I'm kind of wondering.... If you take your babies to work, is it a dog friendly office? What are the rules? Does your Baby go to Work with You?

| Edie goes to work with me. We are an environmental consulting firm with about 10 employees. We call Edie the official greeter. She runs into the office every morning and checks each office to see who is in that day. She attends staff meetings (often walking on the conference table). Her toys are scattered throughout the office. My boss sometimes brings his minature poodle, and Edie gets along very well with him. On very rare occasions, other people will bring in their dogs. One is a husky and one is a pit bull mix. When those dogs come into the office, I DO NOT bring Edie. I am afraid they would hurt her. Edie is the only dog who is regularly in the office, and I think most people enjoy having her there. Our clients think she is funny. |

| I'm so thankful to be able to bring Bailey to work, I am the Office manager at a Auto Body Repair shop, only 3 in the office. My boss has 2 yorkies, so when I got Bailey I went to show my bosses wife him,and she said " Oh is he gonna be the shop dog?" Sure, I said, and I took Bailey to work the next Monday, and It has never been a problem and he has been here everyday since. He is also the greeter,and does a FINE job of it, he is sitting on my desk as we speak, wanting me to hold him,, the heater under my desk hasn't warmed up his bed yet. There are also toys and chew things everywhere, he sleeps alot, and has his normal play times when he takes he toys back to my boss and does the growl/headshakes,, with the Play with me now, look, and he does. I'm so thankful and glad I get to be with him all day. The only downside I have found, I don't get to see that run to you all excited, missed you dance, cause he never gets to miss me.... But I like the alternative.

| When I go to my Vet's office all of the employees bring their dogs to work. Dogs and Cats everywhere. They are all well mannered and seem to get along together. I work from my home, so I am with my kidz most of the time.

| I manage my husband's dental office and mine are service dogs so I usually take at least one or two with me. They have their area of the office where their bed and toys are and they are very good. People are mostly very positive about it. |

| I get to take Alexis to work with me. She has the run of the office and just loves it. I am sorry your little one has to stay under your desk. I feel for you. Hopefully her "condition" will improve so you can let her stay with your other one at home. Best wishes! |

| Sometimes. I am a dog groomer and can bring her as often as I want. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Depends on my work load and how many hours I will be there. When I bring her she spends most of the day in a crate watching me work. Sounds boring for her but she seems to like it and is very busy watching all the dogs. The only part she doesn't like much is when I take her out of the crate and pop her into the tub!

| We just moved our construction office from a building in town to our house. Pita came with me every day and she loved it! It's been a bit confusing to stay home and come to this office which is detached from the house. I would hate if I had to leave her by herself all the time!

| I have brought Bo into work with me but it has been awhile. I am in printing and there are too many things that could hurt one of the boys. Duncan you can forget for now. I can just see him running with a razor blade in his mouth like he has done with steak knives at home. He can snatch things pretty fast. |
