Me and my DH are planning on bringing Lola to his family's big crazy xmas party on Christmas Eve because right afterwards we are going to my parents for the night and all of xmas day. We have already layed down the rules with the kids that Lola is off limits(unless they are sitting on the floor and we are there to supervise) and we(me and my DH) will be holding her or she will be in her crate(we have a colapsable one) in a closed bedroom if the family starts to get overwhelming for her. Fortunatly for us Lola loves people as much as she loves dogs so she has not had any problems being around groups of people in the past. Hopefully this will work for us, and good luck to you! I know being in a relationship means compromise and hoepfully you will be able to find some middle ground
