[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus there is a lot of projecting going on in this thread.

First, even people WITH kids would not leave their dogs alone in a freezing house during a blizzard. Its called empathy/compassion.

Second, its fine to offer just dont be offended or make it weird if they decline becasue of the dogs. Its creating a weird awkward situation if you do.

Third, its fine to not want the dogs, just once again, don't be weird if they decline.

Fourth, dogs are not all the same. While my husky mix would survive the cold house fine (although be worried and anxious about being left alone overnight and by himself for so long), my other dog WOULD freeze. She's short haired and can't handle extreme cold, she'd be shivering in a corner for two days.

Its nobody's business what's important to someone else. JUST DON'T GET WEIRD ABOUT IT. [/quote]

Pretty much agree with all of this. I can't leave my dog behind, I just can't. I don't expect you to invite him, but he needs care. A couple of winters ago, our friends had a huge snowstorm sleepover. They had a few people over, played games, drank. It sounded like fun. I couldn't leave  my dog behind, and their kids were way younger than mine so mine wasn't missing out on too much, so we stayed behind. No big deal.

Except apparently, they harbored resentment toward us for not showing up and let us have it later. Didn't really seem fair. I didn't ask them to bring the dog, I didn't ask to b invited.

So OP, it sounds like you know you have guests who will want to bring their animals. Don't ask them and just let it go.No harm, no foul.[/quote]
