[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like she agreed to come but didn't tell you about the dog until it was too late to find someone else? The problem is because you were OK with the dog this time she will see it as being a non issue every time. I would have stuck firm on the no dog because of lease issue because really there was no reason she couldn't kennel the dog, sounds like she just didn't want to. If it was a financial issue of the kennel, I am sure you and DH would have offered to cover that.

I would let it be clear that the dog was only allowed because it was an emergency and you and DH are not comfortable risking your lease or a fine from you landlord because you had a dog over. Is it an apartment or condo building? You could also blame a neighbor tattling on you to your landlord but if it is a house that wouldn't be so believable.

I'm not a dog hater but I don't love everyones dogs. And I would be really annoyed if I had to clean up after someones dog or watch them lick my kid because I personally just think that is gross. I know dog lovers think its cute/sweet/funny but I don't. I guess the having to clean up the dog hair is what it is because you asked last minute for them to come help you with a favor? Is her house covered in dog hair? If so, I would have guessed she would leave my house in the same condition.[/quote]
