I don't mind. My time management sucks and I know I won't be late this way. I also like that I can be sprawled on my bed with my dog instead of hunched on the therapist's couch. I'm just more comfortable in my own space, I guess. And my dog is a very soothing presence to me, although I will need to have some chew treats on hand in case he decides to be disruptive or that he needs to lay across my face instead of just perching on my chest or shoulder. But overall, I don't mind at all.
