Ri-dog-diculous

Please add the following to things I never thought I'd say in the library:
"I'm sorry, you can't have that dog in here."
"But he's sleeping."
"Yeah, but you can't have a dog in the library. You have to go outside."
---short while later---
"The dog cannot be in the library. I've already told you this."
"But... he's sleeping in my shirt. He's not doing anything."
"Fine. But if he goes to the bathroom of any sort, you are cleaning it up."
---short while later---
(dog is out of the shirt and in the stacks)
"Seriously, you need to go outside...but first I have to pet the dog."
---short while later---
(another girl walking around with the dog)
"You can't walk around the stacks with a dog" says another librarian, finally succeeding in kicking out the kids with the dog.
I'm a bad librarian, aren't I?

Under my definition of "dog", they don't fit in shirts!

(says the woman with the 75+ pound creature that we think is an English shepherd/border collie mix, but we're not sure)

I don't think you're a bad librarian, I think you're actually awesome. You've reached the point in your job where it's worn you out so much that you know how to pick your battles, haha.
