Advice ON TOPIC..NO NEGATIVITY HERE!!!
I only read part of this thread so I don't know if this approach was suggested, and maybe it's too late for the OP....but if I was going to be visiting someone's home I think it would be ok to tell them that certain foods like chocolate and raisins can seriously harm my baby and could they please make sure the family members know not to let any of that stuff get on the floor. I would tell them that she is like a one year old and I have to keep the house baby proofed and I would really appreciate it if they could take a look at their floors and stuff and make sure it would be safe for a baby. I would say that I hate to ask it of them, but that she finds the craziest things I never knew were on my floor and I know so many people who had outrageous vet bills because of stuff their dog ate. I think most people would understand if you put in the context of "babyproofing" and not "your house might be dirty."
My pup would NEVER accept a playpen and would probably leap herself out! |
