Your dogs are NOT members of the family

OP here. It is this weekend but we are going on vacation the day after when everyone is gone. I will post an update later next week when we get back. I've been busy and haven't engaged the crazies but we are prepared to hold the line. Two of my cousins have volunteered to be back up dog bouncers if anyone with a dog tries to enter the house.

Thanks for the pre-update update. But, you shouldn’t leave us hanging for so long do they have cell service where you’re going ? @ dog bouncers

I'm not taking my laptop and cell signal will be spotty. My real fear is that the number of typos that will happen from me trying to post from my phone will send the DCUM grammar mavens into shrieking convulsions. I don't want to alarm or harm anyone with my phone inadequacies.

Then you should probably allow yourself extra time to fix them.

This. I am laughing. I actually strongly support dogs for the disabled and deep in the throes of depression, my DD was recommended one. BUT, private residences and parties aren’t subject to ADA or Fair Housing laws. You are well within your rights to bar dogs from your party - especially as you are doing it as an accommodation for a person with a health disability (allergies).

That said, sometimes there is another way to solve a problem - can you set up some local dog sitters just like someone planning a wedding might set up a kids playroom and sitter? I bet some local kids with a fenced in backyard wouldn’t mind supervising 2-3 dogs while you have your party.

Oh for goodness sake. Why reward bad behavior? Ridiculous. OP should not lift a finger or pay an extra dime to accommodate these ill-mannered fools.

dp: I like that PP came up with a creative solution, but, no, not necessary.

Hahahaha, I thought you were awesome before OP, but now I know you're super awesome.

!00% agree. I like you, OP. Keep us posted! Stay strong! I'm rooting for you!

Wishing you luck OP! My dog is like my child (although I do have less furry children, ha) but I never assume he's invited to anyone's home unless THEY bring it up and even then I usually politely decline.
