RE: Purina's drive to promote pets in the workplace
This might be just me. I do not think it is a good idea to keep pets at workplace for several reasons.
1. Your boss might not like it.
2. Your co-workers might not like it.
3. It can be a distraction to your work and the people around you.
The only pet with the least distraction should be a fish or two in a small aquarium, but even that is not a good idea since we do not go to work every day and the pets need to be taken care of on daily basis.
You can certainly do whatever you like if the boss permits or if you are your own boss.
