[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had way to many holidays with relatives dogs and all I can say is NOT IN MY HOUSE!  You already know that one of the dogs is unfriendly.  Do you have a child?  This alone would make it a no go for me.  Your child comes first and your spouse should be on board with this.  Crazy for him to not back you up on this.[/quote]

We don't have kids.  I don't think any of the dogs are dangerous.  The two smaller ones (MILs dogs) can be annoying but they're poodles and very timid.  One of the medium sized ones is older and blind (BIL's dog) so he just kinda walks around bumping into things.  The other medium sized one is middle aged and I think it's a terrier maybe?  BIL always describe him as mischievous so maybe he goes in the mudroom with the blind dog.  They live together with BIL so they get along.  We could even leave the mudroom door open and put up a baby gate there so they could see their dogs and...you know...feel like the dogs are eating with us or whatever.

Actually, the owner of the unfriendly dog (SIL) has the young child and supposedly the dog is good with her just not with other dogs.  I dunno, like I said, I don't know anything about dogs so I'm taking that one at face value based upon how that particular dog has been handled during prior holidays.  He'll be in the basement, I don't think there's any disagreement there.

I like the idea of putting down a tarp and baby gates (perhaps in the morning room) to protect the floor for the other two dogs.  That'll hopefully prevent damage from their nails.[/quote]
