I take Jackson as many places as I can, too

Thankfully, my family members are cool and love animals so generally speaking, I will always bring Jackson

Even if I just have to run to the bank or go through a drive-through, I'll say "wanna go for a ride?" and he gets all excited and gets in the car, LOL. I totally understand. Jackson loves hanging out with us too even if he has to be on a leash the whole time.

could you take him with you but maybe crate him somewhere while the party is in full swing? If you are leaving early morning and not back till late at night, it seems a long time on his own. If he has to stay home, could anyone drop by to play with him for a while?

Well, in my case, my whole family knows that if we attend a family function, the dogs will be attending as well. If you do use daycare, that is a different story; then it wouldn't be a big deal to take him. I would not start daycare under this circumstance.

And yes, depending on the situation in a restaurant, I don't think pets necessarily need to be in there. So long as the pet was in a carrier or laying down, I don't think I have a problem with it. If the dog, however is sitting begging, then I do have a problem.

Yes we already have a day care that he goes to and LOVES, but she has rules and if you dont pick them up by 7pm they spend the night... Peanut doesnt like to spend the night.. So I dunno. I will talk to DH about and see what he thinks..

Yeah..It is a long day/night to be alone. We dont have anyone that I trust enough to come keep an eye on him LoL..One friend , but she lives like an hour away.. so I dont want to do that to her.

Weneebug · 11-13-2009, 12:06 PM

I agree with most of the others...I think you should leave him at home. I don't think you will enjoy yourself if you don't. Maybe its not the gf doesn't like him...maybe she just doesn't want a dog in her house. I've actually had someone come to my house for a visit (they were from out of town but staying with someone else) and brought their big dog. I wouldn't allow him in my house...I don't even allow my own boxer in the house. Some think its cruel but my son has asthma and I have severe allergies and will not let a dog that sheds in the house. I'm sure people think its cruel when I won't pet their dogs and cats either but I will go home a mess if I do. There could be many reasons she doesn't want him there....you just never know. I think you should respect how they feel since you are going to their home.

I would leave Peanut home. He will be ok for one day.You don't want to strain your relationship with her, it isn't worth it.

lovespandp · 11-13-2009, 01:17 PM

Thanks guys for all your inputs!! Peanut will be staying home, with the tv on

my poor little guy

But Sunday will be Mommie and Peanut day

Patti · 11-13-2009, 01:29 PM

I think that is the best thing to do. I have 3 so bringing them anywhere is pretty much out of the question. I am home most of the time with them so if there is a time they have to be left for longer period of time they do fine. Go and have a great time and Peanut will be so happy to see you when you get back.

Just a question, why do you own a dog you're allergic to, simply to keep him in the backyard? That DOES seem cruel to me... I'm not against outdoor dogs, a lot of farmers have them, etc, but if your son has asthma and you're allergic, why not just give the Boxer to a home who will enjoy him more??

Besides she does nothing but sleep anyway....most of the time.

Also, I would never be able to enjoy myself taking her some place where I know she is not welcomed. I would be to busy watching her.

I agree. If you know she is not fond of peanut and you bring him, you will be worried about making sure peanut doesn't do anything to upset gf. Plus dogs can sense a person's energy and if it were my dog, I would want him to be happy and be himself not stuck on a leash the entire time.

I know we love our babies, but like previously stated some people are just not dog lovers like us

Do you have a friend that could maybe keep peanut or check in on him just so you know he is okay? That way you won't worry about him the whole time your at the party. You will be at ease because you can call and check on peanut and enjoy the party for your dh.

Why not have Pnut's gf's mommy watch him for the day? OR... how about you drop him off with me and Uni for the day?!!!

It has got to be hard. Sorry you have to make a compromise! Do you have a sitter available? Thet would be so perfect in this instance. You know, I was thinking that most people wouldn't understand the dilema. We all do. Keep us posted.
