I'm happy your anectdote is applicable to all people. One of my dogs shivers like a leaf in the cold and has MAJOR anxiety, especially when left alone too long. She'd tear up my house in anxiety as the best case scenario here.

Different people have different prioties. Why TF do you care?


You should crate her.


So now I should leave her alone in a freezing house when she's terrified for 12 hour stretches in a crate for an unforseen amount of days? If any of the posters responding this actually have dogs, I hope someone reports you and they are taken away. Jesus.


Plenty of busy professionals leave their dogs crated all day.


There is a giant difference in leaving a dog crated while you are at work and leaving them crated for ~22 hours a day with no end in sight in a house that is 30 degrees. If you don't see that then why don't YOU try it out.

Taken away by whom? Dog Protective Services?


The humane society or local law enforcement? What are all you people really trolls? I feel like this is ridiculous.

Relevance? The OP is not saying the neihgbors are pissed at her for not inviting the dogs.

You live your dog free life, no one cares. You do you.


I was simply answering the question. I choose to not allow filthy animals inside my home. Others do, and that's fine, but I have no use for them.

What question were you answering? Because this is OP's question:

"What's the right move when your friends lose power, you want to invite them to stay at your house (you have not lost power), but they have two dogs and you have animal allergies? Tell them they can come but the dogs have to stay home? Tell them they can bring the dogs and you just suffer?"

The question was not, 'do you let dogs in your house?'


Yes it was. Because what she's asking is whether she is obligated to let these animals in her house. She is not.

Yes, some people are mentally ill. If you call that "priorities," well LOL!

Ditto. And I think you've accurately diagnosed it.
