I would tell that lady that at least my dog has sence enough to use them. Shes just jealous because her dog is to big to use them. Maybe you should say I would love to come to your house & get a lesson on how its better & more sanitary to let a big dog pee in my husbands boxers then on a pad which is made for dogs for that purpose that is easily thrown away. It is the same concept as disposable diapers for a baby except better because the dog goes to it so you dont have to clean there butts
Which again goes to show dogs are smarter then kids,lol. People always say you must not have kids when I say stuff like that, but I do & thats how I know-exstensive research
I really have two wonderful kids, but I wiped their butts alot more then I wiped my dogs so Dogs Win Again LMAO. I dont like that lady at your office so if you tell her off add at the end "& by the way Rachel doesnt like you" The pads are wonderful for small dogs that are left alone for extended times, for apartments, for extreme weather. That lady needs to hire a dog walker. Shes to cheap to buy pads or pay a dog walker is her problem. As far as family I just say I'm sorry you feel that way & if you want you can kiss my butt right here (point where you desire) Ifthey know it bothers you they will continue & if your mom doesnt like them she may just say others agree trying to prove her point, but if you just say the pads are here, they are staying & point again they will drop it & learn to except the pads. Its really very scientific see pointing at your butt + not caring what others think x's MCsquared ='s they will learn to shut up
This calculation works for me in every life experience.
