See, OP? This is your job.

Mature people keep their pets and their opinions to themselves unless asked to do otherwise.

We have adopted several mixed breed pups from local shelters. Some have separation anxiety so we never leave them alone for more than 2, maybe 3, hours at a time.

What a beautiful thing to think & share.

We have great friends who are very responsible and wonderful people. They have offered and anyone that knows them would likely think they’d be great pet sitters.

They leave the front door open wide when at our house while debating what to grab at a restaurant or store, despite the fact that we’ve mentioned that we can’t leave the door open that long with our pets (cats and dog) multiple times.

They’ll feed the dog anything because he looks like he wants a snack. Of course, he always looks like that. We’ve said no chocolate multiple times.

Just saying because you think they’re reliable pet care, doesn’t mean it’d definitely work with their particular pets.

Aww. I get it. We do board our dog but I really miss him when we’re away!

Dogs are such a wonderful source of comfort, positivity, and love. They’re so cheerful and loving. If I could bring our dog on our travels, I would.

Super annoying is what I’d call it.

Sounds like a good excuse to get out of things you don't want to do.

Pp- so I guess I would call the owner who can’t leave their dog “An owner of a senior dog!”
