[MyFairLacy]

I usually ask if Lacy is welcome before I take her to anyone's house. But once she's been allowed once, I don't normally continue to ask..I guess I just assume if it was okay the first time or two then it's fine to continue bringing her. If I am going to stay overnight at a friend's house, I always make sure they are okay with me bringing Lacy. So far I haven't been told no, but if I was then I wouldn't stay with that person. Lacy is my baby and goes where I go...so if she's not welcome to stay somewhere then it's just not possible for me to stay there either. When I do take Lacy somewhere I try to watch her like a hawk. I take her out to potty often so we don't have accidents, and I take her crate so I can put her in it if we leave the house and she's not running loose in their house. If I'm just visiting for a bit, I usually try to hold her the whole time unless I know the person is fine with her running around, esp. if they have a dog she can play with too.

Those stories seemed pretty outrageous...those dogs were not being supervised or made to mind at all by their owners. That is just wrong. If I take Lacy somewhere I try to make sure she behaves and isn't being a nuisance. I guess it's the same with children though...I hate when parents let their children run wild and be a nuisance...parents need to make sure their kids behave when they visit someone...just like I need to make sure my dog behaves.

Now, if someone comes to MY house to visit, they better respect my pet. It is my home and my pets' home. If they don't like my pets or like my pets being around, they can stay somewhere else!
