A few minutes ago while sitting at my computer here at work, a dog fell through my ceiling.

The damned dog tore up a fair bit of ceiling in the process.

Any guesses over whether the company's insurance would cover that?

More important... Why was a dog in the attic? Or in the suspended ceiling, or wherever he was to fall out of there???

And... What he said.

Whose dog was it? Either way, I doubt they'd cover it. Even if it wasn't yours, most policies don't cover damage done by pests. I don't know how else you'd classify this (again, if it wasn't your dog. If it was your dog, it's your own dumb fault for letting a dog in your attic).

Sounds like you'll be having some fun!

It's a suspended ceiling. The back of the office is a storage area that is open to the suspended ceiling for the rest of the office. The dog went up the stairs and jumped over a small ledge onto the ceiling tiles.

It wouldn't have been so bad if the dog had fell through where it first went onto the ceiling tiles, but it went into a panic and started trying to save itself. As a result, it got further out to where the ceiling tiles weren't suspended as well as they were near the well.

That also means that it tore up a bunch more ceiling.

We have three people at the office who bring dogs to work.

Paula's dog is small, well trained, and very little trouble.

Lisa brings two dogs. One big dog and one small dog. The big dig is too rambunctious and the small will go pee in people's offices when they aren't there. I try to keep my doors closed.

Chris bring used to bring two dogs, but one was really old and died a few months ago. So now he brings one. It's a pointer about a year old. That's the one that came through the ceiling.

I don't mind dogs around the office as long as they are calm and well trained. Only Paula's dog fits that description.

Ceiling tiles are cheap. Have the dogs owner take a piece of a damaged one to home depot and get a replacement.

I used to work with a guy who at a previous job had an issue with opposum urine dripping from the ceiling onto his keyboard.

I don't recall exactly how they determined it was urine, or that it was, in fact, opossum urine, but I do remember that they'd made the determination with some certainty. He said the worst part was he was working for his brother so he couldn't really "recover damages" without f'ing up the family relationship.

He was always looking on the bright side of things and under less than desirable circumstances would often say, "Well, at least I'm not typing in 'Possum urine!"

I would have loved to see your reaction as a dog falls through the ceiling. That's definitely a WTF!? moment.

Can you post pics of Paula and Lisa so we can make a more informed decision?

I've been to Gruver, so I'm guessing this is office for a feedlot.

In which case, a dog falling through the ceiling is understandable. Plus, the fact that is was a pointer, makes the story more believable.

It was briefly the corporate headquarters for a feedlot, but that was 20 or more years ago.

We're on the northeast corner of the traffic light. On Google Maps Street View, it is the building with a 60 foot tower on top with a number of antennas.

It was dazed and limping slightly right after it fell, but doesn't seemed dazed or limping now.

I don't know about a dog, but I definitely had a raccoon come through the ceiling above me last spring. He came through a cieling tile on top of my filing cabinet with a bunch of daily driver reports, **** went everywhere. He fell, and he was pissed, my big ass was running when it happened.

Another time, minding my own business some boys from our warehouse were chasing a cat that managed to get into the offices. We have tile. That cat's legs were moving at 90mph, while he was slipping around. He caught traction, and made a bee line under the table in front of my desk. When the boys came in, they scared it again, he then ran under my desk and proceed up my pants leg, before I jumped up and shook him off. Funny now after the fact, but feral animals running through my office pretty well sucks.

Since it was a pointer I can now understand how it happened.

Since it was a year old I don't know why you didn't expect it

Have you thought about sending Lisa's dogs home with Paula for a week to see if they can learn a thing or two?

I realize I'm only on a first name basis with these people and have no clue who they are but I really feel like I know them now.

When I first read this, I thought it sounded like one of those LSAT / GRE logic questions. I half expected the next lines to be:

Paula's big dog cannot be in the same office with Lisa's dog. Paula's little dog eats out of a blue bowl, but cannot eat in the same room as Chris' dog, who is allergic to dry dog food.

Q: In what order can you feed the dogs out of the same office, and what color bowls would you use?

So at first, I pictured a dog with shag g y bangs in a flannel shirt wearing one glove sneaking along the ceiling telling the naked blonde walks into a bar joke.

Then this

quote:
but it went into a panic and started trying to save itself.


The sound effects kicked in.

I can't stop laughing.

I wish I could say that a dog fell through our ceiling, but no. It was my drunk room mate chasing after a beer pong ball.

Also, is it bad if me and my other room mate both said "**** it we'll find out what he did in the morning" and went back to bed.
