Have you ever called off work for your pet? I don't mean called off and said you're sick, I mean actually called off and said your pet was sick?:D How many jobs or supervisors or customers for those self employed members would understand? I've had people call off saying their dog was sick in the past so I did it today. I've also had people call off for a few days after their ferret or dog died. After giving my two their medicine for one's leg and the others gland problem, I wanted to watch over them today so I called off. I kinda warned the employees yesterday that Kamari hurt her leg. So today I called and said she was still limping and I wanted to make sure they were ok.:animal-pa Hope they are not mad at me. |
I've done that before with no problems. Our dogs are our CHILDREN. Just as a mother would take off from work for her human child, so would I take off from work for my poochies! |
I've done that everytimes a little one was sick . |

Yes I have called in and took a vacation day instead of lying and calling in sick. My boss understands because he's a dog lover also. Our dogs are our children afterall, right? |
:aimeeyork Well when i first got Rocky last year at my previous job my boss was so cool i got him on a Saturday but he was crying all night saturday and sunday so i called her and told her i wasnt able to come in on monday cause i hadnt slept all night cause of him she was so excited i got him she didnt mind. Then in the summer i live approximatley 30 min away from my job well that's how long my commute is into the city. One day in the summer i forgot to leave the A/C on and it was a hot day so i asked her if i can go home for lunch to turn it on and that i might be a little late coming back and she said that was fine anything for Rocky. When i mentioned him all the girls including my boss would chant his name. Rocky :aimeeyork Rocky :aimeeyork Rocky :aimeeyork |
Wow, I don't think anyone I worked for would of taken that well, I would of been in trouble for that! :( |

Rocky :aimeeyork Rocky :aimeeyork Rocky :aimeeyork[/QUOTE] They are like our kids, if they were a bigger dog or different breed, I wouldn't worry as much. But they are so little and I just can't leave them without knowing they are ok. My mom lives upstairs and checks on them, but not like I do.:D I'm LOL at them chanting Rocky, I bet they said Rocky is spoiled rotten. But they will never understand until they own a Yorkie! lol |
I've done it a few times.. the last was about a month ago when Kayah sounded like she was choking.. so I stayed up all night to make sure nothing happens to her.. called in.. told them what happened.. and told them that I was going to the vet.. didn't seem to mind:rolleyes: |
I've never called in and told my boss I had to take the day off because a pet was sick - but I would in a heartbeat if Ferdinand was sick. I think my boss would be fine with it. Of course, I can work from home as well if I needed to and I know not everyone has that luxury. Now, if I forgot to turn on the A/C on a hot day, I don't know that it would go over very well if I told my boss I needed to go turn it on for my dog. I would still go home and do it, but I'd have to use that time as my lunch hour. Anything for our furkids, right?! |
oh no dont go there :rolleyes: i had an issue with my boss cause of that. i told him off because he said its just a dog. my baby was really sick :( he doesnt understand that misty is my baby ;) so now i learned if misty is ever sick i will lie :p jerk :thumbdown :mad: |
