[quote=Anonymous]The dog was a cute puppy, but has become an aggressive to other dogs, cat killing beast the family can't even handle on leash. It dawned on me during a walk with the mom and kids today that this dog will eventually hurt someone, or another animal. It is a breed used for police, military, and guard dog work. She told me herself :"He has a high prey drive." She also told me story about the dog killing a neighbor's cat that entered their home.

I was severely bittern by a dog last year, and so was one of my kids in same incident. We don't trust or love cute dogs the way we used to. But I also have common sense.

I made an executive decision during the walk that my kids cannot go to this house anymore. EVER, as long as dog is on the property, kenneled or not.

How do I tell this to the already defensive mother, without harming the girls' friendship? You may know the type; "fierce" and will blah-blah-blah your ear off without pausing for breath or dialogue, about all of the parenting mistakes everyone is making. I am not friends with her myself, other than pleasant so our girls can enjoy their friendship.

They can play at my house anytime.

I'd love a scripted statement. Like : "My DD loves her friendship with your DD. We don't feel safe with the dog at your house. They are welcome to play at my place instead. The can not go to your house anymore due to dog concerns."

Or what? How much explaining do I have to do? This parent asks me all kinds of inappropriate things in front of kids, she demands to know stuff that is none of her business, without shame.
