[nagdu] New job, Cagney can't be with me

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Debbie,
I think I remember you saying that your former job didn't want you to have Cagney with you as well. Am I right?
Then you mention her behavioral issues and the new job also not wanting you to have Cagney with you.

Might the behavioral issues and the workplace attitudes be related?

Having never met you or your dog, this doesn't sound like a coincidence.

It's something you may want to mention to the school.  Also, good for you for getting the dog some extra training.

Debbie,

Well, under the circumstances, leaving the dog does make sense, since
you want the job and believe it is a good move for you enough to make
the choice. Only you can decide, and you are not a bad person for making
the best choice you can to meet your needs.

There was a time, not so very long ago, I would have had a wiggins over
the labor practices involved for you, too, but... These days, I know too
many people in similar working situations, so I just sigh. /smile/ And,
again, it is up to you to know what you want and need and whether to
take a better opportunity. /smile/

I suppose the more experienced and knowledgeable will have some
interesting thigns to say, so I will get on with reading so I will know
more when/if I run into similar choices.

Best!

Tami
