But they are quite persistant and will do their own thing. I know they wouldnt keep him in a pen etc. even if I asked.
But I just dont know how to say that he should stay at home without implying that they arent fit to look after him. They are just a lot more relaxed with their dogs than I am with Toby. Its a really awkward situation.
I am going to get another pup mid November, and I will keep it at home for a while cos it will be too small etc, so hopefully I can stop it then, but I am not comfortable waiting til then.
I think it would just look to them like I am overeacting - me who has had Toby for 4 months, or them who have had dogs for 25 - 30 years - I wonder who knows how to look after dogs better?

Do you have to drive far to take him there?...I would just say short and simple, my schedule has changed and it is out of my way or not convenient to drop him off, Mom will visit him and my neighbor is going to babysit one day a week as well....(little white lie there I know but you have to do what you have to do) Just make something up, you can totally say, "oh this works better for us now thank you so much for all your help, here is a fruit basket"(or whatever). Go with your gut...always:) |
