| Don't be so nervous Gina! Just put pee pads everywhere, and watch Lexi. At least try to enjoy yourself! You deserve a vacation! I bet Lexi will be a good girl just for you. Ps: Have some fun for me too. |

| you cant imagine how i feel i just wanna cry,, im such a jerk... i really dont want his mom to hate me you know... she really likes me now. and i dont ever what anyone to not like lexi.. you know if she does pee or whatever, his mom is gonna think different about me.. she knows lexi is my life, but shes not really an animal lover like i am... and its difficult trying to explain it...my b/f knows how i am ..... he gets it... i just need to calm my butt down and worry about it if it happens. im jumping the gun as usual.

| What about putting little diapers on her? that way you'll be sure she doesn't go potty somewhere she isn't supposed to. |

Like my mom says, "Always expect the best before the worst." Have faith in Lexi! And for the record, you're not a jerk. Of course there is a lot of people who don't love animals the exact same way as we do, but that doesn't mean she will hate you either! If you really feel that uneasy, put Lexi in one of the Pet Hotel things. At least you know that there is care 24/7. | |

| Maybe try safety pinning it tighter around her waist, so if she does rub it against something..it wont fall off. |

| Gina, if Lexi has a little accident ... so what? Pee and poop can be easily cleaned up! I have leather couches and my dogs jump all over them ... trust me sweetie, their nails aren't sharp enough to scratch it! How could his mom dislike Lexi? All you have to do is look at her little face and you're in love. So don't worry about it. Everything will work out fine. If you ever need someone to watch Lexi while you're away, you know you can always count on me. Don't worry about anything ... just go there and have fun!!

| You could put a blanket down on the couch where she is sitting. I wouldn't worry too much, there is no way his mom won't love Lexi. Just enjoy the weekend away!! |

| All of our couches are leather, and Cooper never scratches them, and sometimes he tries to, LOL. Take her a small blanket or towel and put it on the couch for her to sit on...you might feel better that way...although she isn't going to hurt that couch, (I Promise!!) Your just nervous cause it's your BF's mother, that's all it is. Look at it this way...she is nervous of you too, your her son's GF!! Anyhow, How could anyone not take one look at Lexi and not love her, I'm mean really..just look at that face!! Try to have fun!!

| why not just get an ex pen so Lexie doesn't have run of the house so she doesn't do anything. I know I would be nervous too. But I would be on the safe side and just get her an expen.
