We are having a family gathering tomorrow to mark 20 years since our mum died, therefore my brothers and sisters will all be there, along with partners and children.
My sister (sister2) is hosting, she is ok with dogs although doesn't own one anymore. I have a dog which I would like to take, he is a good dog and doesn't jump up or run around barking.
Our other sister (sister 1) has said she would rather I don't take the dog as my niece is scared of them.
I would usually get our younger sister (sister 3) to dog sit but given the occasion she will obviously be there too.
Would I be unreasonable to push it a little and ask could I take the dog and leave him in the kitchen? the children will probably be playing upstairs most of the evening and the smokers of the group tend to congregate in the kitchen so its easier to get to the back door.
I don't really want to leave Dog on his own all evening because he will cry, he doesn't get left alone for long periods usually.
So WIBU to make this suggestion and potentially put DSis 1 in a position she would rather not be or am I being one of THOSE dog owners?
AIBU?
Family gathering, niece doesn't like dogs.
