Urgent business:
Dog should be top priority.

“Oh my God, OP, you’re not going to believe this: THE DOG REVOLUTION SET THE BUILDING ON FIRE AFTER BRINGING COFFEE!”
Mhmm, mhmm. Knock first.
Dissertation? This grad student has his own personal office? With a door? I wasn’t even issued a chair. I had to get my own.
As for dogs: when I was in grad school, one of the professors had a dog that sat quietly next to his desk all day, at least as far as the professor knew. When he went to the bathroom, his dog would run into the hall and play with people, but the dog was listening for his footsteps and was always back in his office in time. This didn’t last long because the department head didn’t like dogs and complained :(
I’m doing my PhD in Germany, everyone here is employed with salary and has a 1-3 people office. At least in computer science.
Pups always get priority, doesn’t matter what I will drop whatever I am doing to pet them
