[nagdu] Student with dog allergy

[Star Gazer]

So long as you are truly comfortable with this solution, it's fine. Don't
feel it is your only option though. 
Ginger gave you some good suggestions, and she's right, accomidation doesn't
mean "do whatever the person who complains loudest" wants. 
I just want you to know that you do have options here and you shouldn't feel
bullied or intimidated into a solution you aren't comfortable with.

The room is very small. She is always very well groomed, so it might not be
an issue. However, I don't want to cause an allergic reaction. I think I
will crate her in the office with several dog lovers and see how it goes! I
will encourage them to interact with her if she winds are gets anxious and
will check on her whenever we have a break. If that does not work Monday
morning, I will figure out a different solution for the rest of the week.
