[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a no from me, dog.

Speaking of dogs, I was just thinking about this incident a couple of years ago where my friend was hosting a playdate, and her DD's friend got bit by their dog. I can't remember if stiches were involved, but there was definite bleeding. My other friends and I were rolling our eyes when we heard this-- because our friend and her DH can be way too laidback about things like this, and they don't understand that not everyone is. I am sure the girl's parents were furious and thought (erroneously) that if being bit was in the realm of possibility, the dog would be nowhere near their daughter. Nope.

Now these girls were still in elementary- but it speaks to the fact that parents have different values and judgment.

I understand everything will probably be fine OP- but go ahead and call the mom. Speak to her. I hate talking on the phone myself, but you have to got to elevate this beyond text.[/quote]

So you would not allow sleepovers anywhere that there is a dog? You could stick your hand in my dog's mouth and she would not bite you. Almost every single person I know has a super friendly dog. The few friends that have dogs that are not 100% trustworthy around people are handled appropriately.  What about mean cats?

Haha I have never heard of a cat biting someone needing stitches and if they did, it’s probably your fault. My daughter was bitten by a dog at a friends house and of course the owners said she is the sweetest dog and she’s never done that before. My DD was 6 and would never go near a big dog like that on her own. So yes, a big dog is a concern at a sleepover and I would expect the owner to keep it away.[/quote]
