| Do you guys think this is fair? So I have a friend, she's allergic to Rocky and Bella so they can't go to her house, and I respect that. When she comes here she takes medicine so her allergies don't act up. Well she has a dog now (a breed that she's not allergic too) and whenever she comes over, she brings her dog, which I don't mind, but she doesn't ask first. This really wouldn't bother me, but I guess it's my motherly instinct or something, that Rocky and Bella can't go to her house, it's not fair for them. I totally understand the reason and everything, but I can't help but get upset by it. I think one thing that also made me kind of upset is we were going to my parents house one day and at first my mom said to not bring Rocky and Bella because of her dog (he was on medicine for some stuff), but I said can I bring the dogs if they stay away and she said yeah that's fine, then I had to ask if my friends could bring there dogs too, she said o.k. Anyways, when my friend comes, she brought her dog automatically and didn't even ask! It wasn't a problem, but what if my mom said no, I already had to persuade her if I could bring Rocky and Bella!! Would you guys be upset too? Or am I just being extra-emotional.

| I think it's always polite to ask before we bring our babies anywhere so I can see why it would bother you. If it was both ways where yours could come anytime and so could hers it would be more of an even, open situation. |

Then it would be no problem, but I just wish if we go there Rocky and Bella could come too. I could ask, but I know the answer would be "no" and then if I say it's not fair, well since it's kinda not in her control I don't want it to cause a fight or anything.

| Well, unless people are allergic to the saliva or something, a freshly washed Yorkie is something unusual to be allergic to. I am very allergic to labs and other dogs besides Yorkies, Shih-Tzu's and dogs with the same hair and they MUST be bathed weekly. My eyes get red, can't breathe - yet Sammy & Loki sleep in my bed just fine. So whatever dog she got that she's not allergic to, I doubt she is more allergic to your dogs. That said, of course you want to ask. I'm VERY allergic to cats and can't even go to people's houses with cats. The girl that sits next to me at work has a cat and I sneeze all day at work. I've also had relatives assume that since I have dogs they can bring THEIR dog, and Loki is afraid of big dogs and this particular dog was a golden that hadn't been brushed in a month and was leaving hair all over my house and was not very friendly. She didn't warn me so I didn't have time to put toys away and she ended up destroying several small toys that were not meant for big dogs!!! We took Sammy to my aunt's at Christmas (a non-dog house), but we asked first and pretty much carried her the whole time. We didn't let her run around. She enjoyed being passed from person to person. We left Loki at home because he doesn't like all the commotion. My in-laws don't enjoy my dogs so we leave them at home and don't stay long. Also, this was more of an issue for us when the dogs were being housetrained and couldn't be left alone for long, and also before Loki got on his medicine he had to go outside to pee every 30 minutes. We HAD to take him with. Now they are trained and run around the house (more like sleep) when we are not home and we can leave them for hours and they are fine. I think they throw a party since we don't leave all that often!

| Well, I agree it's a little rude not to ask but that being said.... do you mind? Is her dog destructive or not housetrained? If you don't like him there then I would try to nicely mention it but if you really don't mind but just feel like your dogs are somehow being short changed, I think for the sake of the friendship, I would just let it go. |

I'm the same way though, I always ask people. One time my grandparents said no for Thanksgiving, but I assured them I'd bring their portable kennel and then grandpa said it was o.k. I know Rocky and Bella are welcome at my aunts house, but Rocky doesn't care for the dogs there, so I don't bring him just to avoid any confrontation between Rocky and the others. When dogs are at my house, well except for 2 to be exact, Rocky usually just ignores them. Except one time, my friend brought her puppy who was going through her biting stage, the puppy kept biting at my ankles and Rocky sat back for about 10 mins, then finally jumped up to protect me, but he never hurt her or anything. Rocky really doesn't care for this friends dog either, but he just ignores her. Bella will play with her, a couple times last night Bella growled at her, but then Bella fell asleep next to her! I know, wierd, LOL.

Your right, I know I should let it go. It's just hard sometimes. I guess I'll keep this thread in mind, so whenever I get irritated how Rocky and Bella can't go there I'll come vent on here, LOL.
