anyone here have an office pet? (besides fish)

[wambam]

Nano, and he's seriously my very best friend in the world. What's that? You want to see a picture of Nano in the snow? Okay, okay, I'll oblige.

We killed our office fish. Oops. So we aren't allowed to have anymore for awhile.

But folks do bring in their pets here and there. One woman brings in her little dog, another woman brings in her cat on a leash.

At my last job everyone could bring their dogs in. It was awesome.

I really think Casanova would make an awesome office cat. He loves attention.

[rachers]

Both of my bosses (husband and wife) bring in their dogs. One is a black lab and the other is a beagle/lab mix. I love it. The labs hangs out by my feet all day since I have a little space heater.

[cuddlyevil]

I work in healthcare/academics so we're not allowed to have pets. But I have a plant.

I have been campaigning for an office hamster for a decade, to no avail.

It's unjust.

How often do you have clients visit your office?

I VERY allergic to cats. If someone who owns a cat even comes to my house I have to vacumn after they leave. I wouldn't be able to meet with an attorney with an office cat often because I'd be miserable

[Elsa]

What about an office chinchilla?

Office rabbit?

Oooh maybe an office snake? Threaten to sic him on rude clients?

[shamrockshake]

we work in a pet friendly building, most everyone on our floor brings their dogs in. Sadly my boss is not a pet person and won't let us one of our warehouse locations has an office cat though

One of my former coworkers kept a hermit crab (Donovan McCrabb) in her cube.

He was at least 4 years old when she left the company and took him with her.

I am dying at the visual of this. 

I used to take Charlie into the office at my internship when I was in college. He just wandered around, greeted people at the door, and mostly slept under my desk. It was the best.

I would love to bring my two puppuses to work but alas no.

And I have to say I will be the jerk that says no to the cat since I am highly allergic and then could never meet in your office without being a sneezing, itching, wheezing mess (even with meds I can last only about 15-20 minutes before all hell breaks loose histamine-wise).

At my last job I would bring my foster cats into the office to avoid having to go home to get them after work if they needed to go somewhere. We got very little work done on those days. My boss used to bring his dog in, too.

[malibu]

I do if I WFH. Three cats, a hamster, and an assortment of fish.

[gozf]

I would name my office hamster Princess Sparklebutt.

I have a notepad holder in the shape of a hippo. His name is Walter. I've tried for an office dog but the landlord refuses.

We get birds often but not intentionally. There have been mice too...

[Alyssa]

I'm jealous you can have pets.  One lady proposed it at a staff meeting and another woman quickly shot her down when she raised her hand and said, "I'm allergic to dogs"

A law office near my building has this ancient dog as their office pet. I swear, it looked like it was 85 years old. lol

The closest I ever got to an office pet was this guy:

[lexxasaurus]

We only have a fish because I got a firm no on an office tarantula. Lame.

[MWOS]

Boss said ok to a fish to shut me up with all my hamster-related whining.  And I love Cindy Lou, I do!  But... she's not a hamster.

[compassrose]

I bring in my 12 lb doxie every day.

[youhadmycuriosity]

I wouldn't be able to work in an office with a cat because my eyes would be swollen shut. We do have fish. If I brought my dog into the office, we could use him as a paper shredder?

[jodinia]

I'm with Tamb, I wish

[bluetopaz]

The attorney I used to work for brought his dogs in all the time. It took me a while to get used to the feeling of being watched, then turning around to find two huge standard poodles staring at me.

He did probate/estate planning, so I think the little old ladies (and men) liked it.

We used to have a bunny in the library named Hare E Potter. He was awesome. He was litter trained so he could hop around the library when there weren't tons of kids in there. This year administration said no more class pets. :-(

[alicenelson]

I've lost count how many times I've asked my boss for an office pet.  He's not caving.  

[Dusky]

We don't currently but years ago we had a rabbit. Everybody was heartbroken when he died of old age so we haven't gotten a pet since.
