Call her up and address it, explain to her that it's a package deal (and your reasons), she can take it or leave it.
If you want to be reasonable (which I own I sometimes don't depending on who the person I'm talking to is): make a deal to keep Teddy in your room as much as possible and to crate him a reasonable amount of time, perhaps there's something specific that bugs her about Teddy (ask her if there's something and see if you can work something out).
I understand people who don't want dogs in their house but they need to make allowances for the dog people they invite into their homes.
I wouldn't leave Teddy with a stranger, an 80 pound dog can take some messing 'round with, a tiny Yorkie can't. I wouldn't leave him at any motel room either, they can steal him. |
