What you should say is that you're taking a week off to tend to a sick puppy at home. I swear, people at work eat that crap up. If you have kids or a pet, you're afforded special treatment.
What I don't understand is, how come its ok for a person to take a sick day to tend to their kids, yet I can't take one to take my parents (who barely speak English) for a doctor's appointment? Is it not the same thing?
