I'm so sad.......... and confused as well.
Kinda long, but need to vent and this is one place where I know everyone will understand.
Since the week I brought Mia home as a puppy until now, she has come to work with me almost every single day! And just yesterday as I was walking out the door to go home I hear a fax coming through. I noticed it was from the management office of our building. There's about 5 or 6 buildings total owned by this company so I'm sure it went to every office. So I picked it up and only read briefly that they are going to be enforcing rules regarding pets, which means NO PETS PERMITTED! My heart dropped!!!!!!!!
Mia brightens the day of so many that work in our building. She is so loved by everyone around on our side of the building. As I read the fax more clearly this morning, it mentions the management office has received complaints. Keep in mind, Mia isn't the only dog throughout these office buildings. I see lots of dogs, big and small. Also, right across the hall are Gigi and Alister....2 yorkies that Mia plays with almost every day. I just wonder if any complaints were made against our three dogs?
Also, the reason for my confusion is because the owner of all of the buildings will come in occasionally and check to make sure all is well, and he's met Mia a number of times and I've asked if it is ok for her to be here and he said YES! This was months ago. This owner also brings his yellow lab to work every day. Maybe he's not setting the best example to tenants?
My boss is also a dog lover and brings her Newfoundland (HUGE) into the office on occasion so I know she will be slightly upset as well. They say.. "exceptions to this policy under extraordinary circumstances have been documented in the terms of the applicable leases", I wonder what those exceptions are!? Grrrr... I'm so, so sad right now. An older lady that works next door says she going to get a doctors note saying that Mia helps with her stress!! She's just as upset as I am!
If I can no longer bring Mia to work, I'm going to be one VERY unhappy camper.
But rules are rules...
