My company is dog friendly, which is great, but few dogs actually come to the office. There is one ancient golden retriever in Engineering who sleeps all day, and once in a while someone brings their dog in, but rarely for a full day. I decided Shelby should come in just to see how she would do. I chose Tuesday because the office is half empty and I didn't have any meetings or anything.
I was pleasantly surprised by the reaction Shelby got from everyone. People heard she was here and stopped by to say hello. I got a lot of requests to bring her in more often. One person encouraged me to let her have free rein in the office, but I couldn't quite go that far. I had hoped my baby gate would keep her in my cube, but it wasn't quite long enough, so instead I looped her leash around the arm of my chair. It worked pretty well. Shelby was able to peek out at people as they walked by. She actually curled up under my desk and had a nap for a while, which was great. It's a relief to know I can bring her in if I need to and everyone is OK with it. Well, my boss wasn't here this week, so I don't know how she would feel about it. ;-)
