[nailpolish]

i dont like dogs. i really really dont. its bad enough visiting people who have a dog, i just try to ignore the dog, but i will not have a dog in my house. no way. and my friend who is coming for a weekend wants to bring her dog. why cant she laeve it at home with her husband? because he goes out and gets pished up and then sleeps all day with a hangover and the dog wont get walked she says...

now shes in huff cos i said i dont want that dog in my house (its not even a nice dog)

I am a dog lover, but in this case it is your house, your rules, your choice. I would not just think I could take a dog to someones house without making sure it was OK with them.

yanbu, god i used to like dogs but now when i visit a doggy house i want to puke.

no, YANBU - we have nicest dog in world but still wouldn't presume to take her to someone's house - although they'd probably prefer her as a guest to me and dh and kids lol

also, i have a cat! i said to her "oh if you bring the dog we wont be able to go out and leave the dog and cat alone" she said "cant you shut the cat in a room?"

!!!

does she have no other choice but to bring the dog? is there nobody left at her house to look after it when she is with you?

the first time she brouhgt her dog to my house my dd1 was an 18mth old toddler. the dog ran upstairs and SHAT on my little dd's bed her little pink pony bed

friend said "oh dogs not been here before she needs to mark it with her scent"

WHAT THE FUCK!

dizzy, her dh will be at home, but he is going to the pub and friend says he will be hungover and she doesnt trust him to walk or feed the dog

i think this is her problem

i don't have dogs in my house for various reasons, but actually they ARE pretty unhygenic and I don't like them

i hope she bloody cleaned up the mess

thats a load of shite and can I just say

no no no no no no no under NO circumstances is this poorly trained excuse as a pet allowed in your house

even as a dog lover I would be refusing

you are most DEFINATELY NOT BEING UNREASONABLE

I would have sooooooo horrified by this (not that my trained dog would do suce a thing) I wouldn't even take my dog to anyone else's house ever again

bang out of order

Your 'friend' is totally unreasonable. I would tell her that if she can't leave the dog behind then she'd better not come.

YANBU.

tough shite, she can buy cans so all he has to do is open them and put them down and it won't kill 'shitey' the pooper dog not to be walked for afew days if he can't get his lazy backside out the door

Filly - am fully aware some people aren't dog lovers but for those of us who are and train and take good care of our dogs, they're not all unhygenic, its just people like this woman who give them a bad name. I still wouldn't dream of taking our dog anywhere she wasn't welcome for any reason and you're right, I hope she did clean up the bloody mess

am surprised you asked her back to be honest lol

yuk! No you are not being unreasonable. We have a dog, well DH has a dog. His parents are looking after the dog while we are living overseas (very generous) but DH used to annoy me when we would visit friends and he would assume that they would love to have the dog in tow.

Why wouldn't they? - Because he smells, is messy, hairy and farts that's why! (that's the dog not DH) although he is the softest friendliest dog ever. YANBU

No way would a dog that had dashed up stairs and pooped on a bed be invited back and she should realise that.

She can leave the dog with her husband but she needs to phone him repeatedly whilst she is at your house to remind him to feed and walk the dog making sure she lets slip that she has the neighbours primed to report back to her that he has been seen walking the dog.

Failure to feed/walk the dog will result in no sex for a while.

You need to be firm with her and she needs to be firm with her husband.

Failing that, she could call the RSPCA and report an abandoned dog at his address on the morning of his hangover.

we have a dog, had I mentioned that!?! but even so I do not allow my cousin in our house with her dog as he is a bloody menace with little training or manners or even good sense - some owners just let their dogs down unfortunately

ROFL at fedup am liking your devious style!! am sure the dh will just LOVE being worken up by unimpressed RSPCA on a Sun morning after the night before

We had a really bad experience with a friend's dog which I wouldn't want to tell you about. I would be quite reluctant to allow others to bring their dogs when visiting us even though we have dog ourselves.

Tell her to fark-off Nailly!

Christ I try not to take my kids with me for a weekend with mates never mind a bloody dog.

I love dogs but wouldn't let anyone bring theirs to my house. I have a cat he'd freak at the dog's scent for weeks afterwards.

Your friend is being totally unreasonable. If she's that fussed she can pay for a dog-walking company to come and pet her pooch or put him in kennels!

YANBU. I wouldn't dream of taking my dog to someone else's house unless they positively invited him too.

Couldn't she put it into kennels ih her dh really is that useless.

You are NOT being unreasonable. The cat alone is a good enough reason not to bring it. Why should he/she be all upset?

if

YANBU. No way.

I'm surprised you've asked her back at all after the previous shit on the bed routine.

Visit her with your 'pet' puff adder in tow and casually mention that it likes to mark new territory.
