Really? We havent specified an age here, but would you want a crying baby, "mummy I'm bored", parents disappearing every 5 minutes potty training, and accidents. Toys lying around, your stuff being borrowed, being interrupted at inopportune moments by interested children, being told to moderate language because it isn't suitable.

I wouldn't count any of those as being examples of bad behaviour.

My point is, just the existence of a child in the office isn't bad. If it starts yelling etc. then it gets annoying.

Same with dogs. How does a dog that lays on his bed all day next to his owner bother you?

The dog isn't going to lay there all day, just like the child isn't.

And you're obviously thinking of a smaller dog and roomier office than I am, if that dog isn't still getting in the way.

Except, you know, I have a big dog and he does exactly that. Laying on his bed all day.

Under your desk all day? Not expanding out to your neighbours desk or the walk way?

Obviously you have an unusually docile dog, and unusually roomy office.
