Ann Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Would you (or have you) take time off from work to care for a sick pet? Is (was) your boss understanding about this or did you have to tell a little white lie and say it was you that was sick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacake Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I have taken time off to take a pet to the vet but for scheduled appointments. Have never really had a sick pet since I've been working. Didn't lie, just took the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 So far I have been lucky enough not to have a pet that sick, however, I would take the time off if necessary. The good news is I would not have to lie about it. I work for a great boss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I took time off for a sick dog. She spent two nights at the vet's and continued to fail - I visited her and then had to have her put to sleep. I held her paw and watched the light leave her eyes... Not the way anyone wants to spend their hours of vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyanne Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I have and would again take time off for my loving canine friend....I also took time off to put our 14 year old Chesapeake down...I think my boss thought I was a bit nuts when I took a week off...but Chelsea was family!
