There is just way too many people walking around in the house for me to feel comfy with him walking in the house. Plus, the 5 year old always wants to hold him!
Here is the catch....I actually got Jimmy for my GF as a present so I don't have a lot to say about it. (Even though I take him out, feed him, pay the vet bills, buy his clothes, clean his poop and pee and do everything a Mom would do)
She is super eager to show the puppy to her Mom who has been seeing him on Facebook since end of October.
I really don't know what I can say to convince her it's not a good idea to bring him to the house. I have a bad feeling someone will step on him and finding a vet on Christmas day will not be very easy...
I'm almost tempted to play like I am sick so I can stay home but she would probably just take him with her and leave me home 
Not sure what to say! Ideas? |
Tell her how you feel. In fact, print out what you just typed and show it too her. If you state that you're worried about the dog's safety, I know she'd understand.
You could compromise. Take your GF and get really, really cute Christmas photos of you all so you guys can show him off at the Christmas party. And if anyone asks why the pup's not there, explain exactly what you said. He's a little guy that could get hurt easily, and all the people around would be alot of stress for him.
