bring your dog when you go to the ladies' room and you've agreed. Now she's
gotten your boss to ask you not to bring your dog to a meeting and you've
agreed. 
What's next? Why do you keep agreeing with this nonsense?

I also have a co-worker who is afraid of dogs, though maybe not quite so
much as yours is.  He can take the same elevator as I do, if we stand in
opposite corners.  I can stand outside his cubicle and talk to him, while he
is safely behind his desk.  I would not consider leaving my dog at my desk
to attend a meeting where he is present, and my boss wouldn't consider
asking me to.  Actually, my boss scoffs at this guy a bit and tells him he
will never meet a gentler animal than my dog, which is true.

Hi, guys! For those of you I spoke to on twitter or FB about this, sorry for
the repeat!
I have a bit of a sticky situation that I would like some advice on.
I've worked at the same office for a year and a half, and everyone has been
super supportive of Jenny and I, even as we've struggled with Jenn's barking
issue this spring. But there is a coworker who is deathly afraid of dogs.
She is so terrified that when I started working here, she asked that her
cubicle be moved from beside mine to the far side of the office. I must add
here that I have never once felt disrespected by her, that I am not a valued
part of the team, or that Jenny herself is disrespected (she makes it a
point to ask how Jenny and I are doing). Our company's CEO is coming for a
site visit early next week, and we are having a staff meeting for about an
hour at most (something that happens 2-3 times a year). My boss asked that I
leave Jenny at my desk during the meeting, because even if Jenny is laying
down across the room, this particular coworker is still terrified of her.
I have unintentionally left Jenny at my desk for moderate periods when I
slipped in to someone's office and we got sidetracked chatting, so I don't
worry about her being alone (I figure I can give her a bone and keep her
occupied while I am gone).
I don't want to act like this is the biggest deal in the world (which it
isn't), but I don't want to treat this like it's nothing, either. I don't
want to be the difficult one who takes the dog into the meeting for no other
reason than because I can, when in fact the meeting is only 50 feet away and
she wouldn't be guiding me there anyway.
Thoughts?

Thanks,
Daryl
