Where I used to work, it was the same story. There were one or two with new babies, and they would bring them in. Some of would almost hide becuase we didn't want to have to goo goo and ga ga over the new baby...and I admit some of that reaction was a reflection of the parent's nt the kids, but still.

At the same time, we had a lot of back door meetings of any dogs. You got a new dog, it had to make an apperance. (Being a chemical manufactirer none of us wanted out dogs in there!)
Even the guy we came in once a week to pick up our methanol waste brough in his new pup! There was a couple other businesses in the same complex that had truck drivers that took their dogs onthe rode...we often snuck out to visit with them too and always knew when someone had gotten a new dog
