If my Dog can't come I am not going... My question is am I wrong to feel like if George isn't welcome at someone in my families house then I don't want to go there either? The reason I asked this is because my neice got a new apartment and I took George over there on Saturday. She has a Yorkie Oliver who is 2 1/2 and I have done a ton for him including babysit him, bath him, feed him, cloth him, buy him toys and clean up after him when he has accidents (both #1) which up until about 2 months ago he still wasn't house trained. Anyways long story short my Georgie who is almost 11 months (and completely trained at home) had a couple of accidents, and she went nuts I mean completely crazy on me. So now I feel like if he isn't welcome then I won't be going over there either. I guess I could understand her position more if she didn't have a dog or if I didn't do so much for her dog. Am I overreacting? |
Now that is just unreasonable of her. I am that way when visiting family, if Skittles can't stay at their house then we don't stay there either. I hope your niece comes around. |
Maybe a little... You may have caught her on a bad day, or there may be something else going on that you were not aware of. I would say that you can give it another try, but you may want to put a diaper or belly band on Georgie. He may be marking the territory. You should also discuss it if you can in a calm rational manner, if possible. I know my pup isn't welcome everywhere I go, so I leave her home on occasion. It doesn't hurt her feelings at all. Good luck! |

Thanks for your honesty :) I also forgot to mention that she is the one that gets upset when people tell her she can't bring Oliver in the grocery store! I guess I just thought her house would be the last house that I would have this problem. I will get over it I suppose ;) |
I think you have a right to feel bad. Especially if her dog has accidents at your house too. |

Thanks and I can't tell you how many he has had. He has puked a few times at our house as well. Actually he puked 4 times in one night when we were watching him. It got to the point where my dog loving, very laid back fiance' was getting mad. He couldn't believe her on Saturday especially since we have done sooo much for her and Oliver. |
I do not go to any family members house (or any one else for that matter) that my yorkies are not welcome. All of our family live out of town and most of our friends, they all know that I bring them with me. If they can't come neither will we. Have we ever had an accident, of course I just clean it up and keep going, no one has ever gotten mad. I do honor personal feelings about furniture and such. An accident is nothing to get upset over. |

GeorgiesMomma --- Not to worry. This is a very common syndrome - and anhy of us may catch it sometime. It is called "new apartmentitis" or sometimes "new houseitis." It doesn't last forever - sometimes only a few weeks or a month or two and then it goes away. It just wears off and everything goes back to normal. You should never hold a grudge against any women suffering from this malady. Remember the day may come when you have it yourself. Just be patient, understanding, and as sweet as you can be...... This always works best. And often - after a while - you may find yourself getting an apology - these are fun to get! Carol Jean |

Sorry to quote everyone but I was interested in reading everyone's comment. This one is a funny one thanks I needed that. I tried to remind her when we bought our new house and Oliver "christened" it that I didn't get mad, but it didn't work too well. Oh and she did apologize and told me that Georgie is welcome as long as he doesn't pee everywhere like he did Saturday!!!! The nerve of some people ;) |
Poor you - I would be mad also but it is family and that won't help. These panties are the best (not cheap) but perfect for our little ones. You got them covered and it looks like they are wearing jumpers. http://www.joybies.com/pagedog.html |
PLEASE don't get mad at me. My Lexi potty trained very easy, but Tori was/can be awful. I get upset with her when she pees on the floor a foot away from the wee pad. I don't yell at her and have never spanked her, but I don't like it and lock her in the kitchen or her playpen when she does this. So if a friend comes over and their pup has an accident I clean it up and let it go, if it happens again I offer my playpen or the baby gate to the kitchen. I don't want to be mean but I don't like it when Tori does it and I sure don't want someone elses pup doing it. The same goes when we go to someones house, I watch very closely (specially Tori) and hold her a lot. Go out very often. Now if she does start peeing then I either pack it up and leave or suggest we pup the pups in the kitchen. If I am staying the night or weekend I ALWAYS take their playpen. Again PLEASE don't get mad it's just my 2 cents... :) I forgot to add I do use doggy diapers, I bought them from Chloeandj |
I know that you have reason to be mad, but don't be. She is probably young and this is her first apartment. If you are close to her just tell her that you feel hurt by this and explain how you have treated her yorkie. She may not realize that she is doing this. Just be upfront. I do not take Gucci when I go visiting unless someone in my family asks me to. Most of the time Gucci would just sit by me and she does have accidents with number 2 so I do leave her home. I wouldn't enjoy myself at someones home worrying if she is going to have an accident.. Gina |
Thanks for everyones advice I don't get mad trust me I like to hear people's thoughts on things. It's hard being in the situation to seperate yourself from it sometimes. Thanks again :D |
