NO! You cannot bring your sick dog....

We're having friends over for a little party this evening and hubby got the strangest request.  A friend's dog is sick and she asked if she could bring him.  Why would someone want to bring a sick dog to a loud party at strange house, full of people the dog doesn't know?  Not even sure what she meant by sick.  Hubby didn't ask but he had visions of puking or poopy dog....lol.   He said she seemed a little miffed when he said she should stay home and take care of her sick dog.  Who brings a sick dog to a party?

I am always amazed at people- and not in a good way usually, lol. If I had a sick dog, I would stay home and take care of it and it would NEVER cross my mind to ask a person hosting a party I wanted to go to if I could  bring my sick dog with us??! What?? I also don't understand why people bring tiny babies to concerts and sports arenas. To me, it is just pure selfishness.

It takes all kinds to ask that question.

 

SMH.

 

If my pet was sick, even though a part of me may want to go tot he party, I would not ask to bring it to a party.

 

Sheesh!

 

When I was in my 20's, my cat got neutered. I didn't want to go to school, because I was worried about how he would do post-op.

Sorry, but if my dog was sick I would be staying home to monitor. I wouldn't ask to bring a dog to a party no matter the health-

 

Very strange request-

I know what you mean about bringing babies, young children to adult themed places.

 

Case in point.

 

About five years ago, I went to see Bill Mahar when he did a one night show up here. Part way through his show, a baby start to fuss and cry. Bill finally told the parents to leave, because that was no place for a child. "No, seriously. Please leave. Your money will be refunded."

 

The parents left.

Guests don't even bring their "well" dogs over.  One partner needs to stay home, the other can come to the party. Or they can get a dog babysitter.  Could you imagine they bring the dog, and it $hites, pizzes and throws-up all over the house?

Sick or not, the dog should stay home where it belongs.

This is like a person asking to bring a sick child in to a party. This is your responsibility not someone else's. Person should stay home and monitor their pet.

I got a better idea. They can keep the dog in the car, and check on it.  omg
