i have a question for everyone ok a couple of weeks ago my aunt bought a house she invited us there for the weekend (upstate) anyways we werent sure we told her the dogs HAVE to come (she doesnt like dogs) she said they would have to stay in the garage :eek: the weekend and in there cages of course we said no our dogs are family not a car my boyz are house dogs :eek: have you ever had someone do that to you?? |
No How sad. I dont go any where over night unless me babies are welcome. Then we make sure we keep a belly band and panties on them just in case. |
Maybe you can do a day visit with your Aunt. I don't think I could leave Princess in the garage. :) |
its a 4 hour drive there and back lol |
That's a difficult situation you're in! It's sad to think that some people don't like dogs. I think she probably doesn't really know that much about small dogs, and she is probably thinking that they would pee in her new house,ruin her furniture, and shed all over the place! Maybe you could educate her a little about belly bands and how your dogs will be in your sight at all times and won't jump on her furniture. I can understand her worries (because some dogs can be horrible in new situations) but I think that if you tell her about your dogs behavior, how yorkies can freak out if they are "abandoned" (garage) for long periods of time, how drafts from garage can cause sickness to them, how yorkies don't shed, and the impossability of them peeing (belly bands) on floor and furniture, then I think she may rethink her decision that they can only go in the garage. If she still says "no way" then I'd just say, "Sorry I'm not comming!" |
Where is your aunt? I'm in ALbany and if she's close to me you and your babies are welcome to stay here without cages ;) My aunt is like that too so I hardly ever see her ;( |

I would have to respect your Aunt's wishes. This is her house and respect the fact that she requests no dogs in the house. I felt it was very accomodating that your Aunt offered the dogs to stay in the garagte in the kennel. Those are NOT horrible conditions. Maybe there is a hotel/motel close by that welcome dogs, this way you can still visit your Aunt. Or you can possibly find a trusted friend/family member to "doggie sit" while you visit. I have personally learned it isn't fair of me to expect the world to love my pets as much as I do. |
I have not had that haoppen to me yet, but I don't think I would be able to put Gracie in a cage in the garage while visiting. Gracie is like family also. If Gracie was not welcome inside I don't think I would go. That is just me though. Heather |
Some people dont love pets like we do. so they just dont understand us. |
A lot of people just don't understand. I was not a pet person until after I married my husband. My father loved animals, but my mother never would allow us to have any. A year after marriage my husband brought home a kitten and it was over with then. I am now an animal lover and will never change. I learned just by being around them how loving they are and how they can give so much comfort. I am getting my 1st yorkie pup November 12th and I can't wait. I agree also, some people just don't understand animals and I should not expect them to do so. If they would only give them a chance then they would understand as we do. Ladyt and KiKi :aimeeyork |

Yeah, That's a great idea! If you could find a good pet sitter (I'm the pet sitter in my neighborhood) then you won't even have to make her feel awkward about saying no again, and you will at least know that your pups can at least be in their home and then no added stress on them about moving for a weekend. Plus, a pet sitter will play with them and makes sure they are safe while you're gone. Your Aunt would probably appreciate it and then you guys wont make a fight out of it :eek: I still think it's sad that she won't let them inside if she knew about bellybands and all that other stuff, but I guess you have to respect that. I just hate the thought of a dog confined to a crate for that long. |
Ditto!!!! Quote:
Schatzie, I have come to the conclusion that I should just follow you around this forum and say ditto and especially the last sentence. You are certainly my kind of person. |
Though I absolutely know how you feel, I also understands your aunts position. She doesn't feel the same way we feel about our dogs. When I'm asked to someones house for the weekend and I know they are not as receptive to my dog as I am, I thank them kindly and refuse because I cannot leave my dog alone for so long. Either they tell me its ok to bring Desi and if not, then I don't go or I look for someone to stay with her. |

Crystalsmom, I'm not sure if I can respond to such a nice compliment as which you have given. Thank you. :aimeeyork |
