oh Sara I feel you!!! I have the same problem with Jakub's parents.. what do these people not understand IT'S
MY DOG!!! ooohhh sometimes I get soo mad!! And it's like.. you try explaining it to them and they say "yeah OK" or w/e b/s they give.. but YET STILL do it their way
Hope everyting went well while he was there...
I would just say, for next time... Target has these I believe $20 maybe even $10 gates... Find a spot in your house and gate him off.. be it a closet or w/e.. at least you KNOW he's safe.. if he jumps.. put one up and put the second above that (they're the cheapest gates you can get from Target... they just kinda "squeeze" against the frame or wall)
