[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dog owners should realize we're doing you a favor by inviting you over to share power. You don't want that favor, totally fine. But don't assume that I'm going to extend the favor to include your dogs if I don't want dogs in my home. Yet dog owners tend to take offense at this and act like I'm asking them to leave DH at home.[/quote]

I would not try to bring my dogs over if they weren't invited. But I wouldn't go. And I'd think less of you.

OP here. In the case of allergies, would you think less of someone with allergies who didn't want to bring animals into their home? [/quote]

[b]Not if it's a real allergy.[/b] [/quote]

+1  People claim to have pet allergies all of the time.  When I ask if they've ever had it tested, they say no.   If they actually had allergies, they would have issues in my house.  But they don't (and, no, they didn't take meds before coming over).

It's fine if you don't want pets in your house.  Just own up to it.  And don't say nasty things like, "you can stay.  if your dog dies, you can just buy a new one."   Just don't offer.  [/quote]
