    Handwriting - Since the weather is getting nice, my wife and I decided to invite people over for a party this weekend. One couple asked if they could bring their dog to the party, to which I said, "No."

    Font - I don't have a fenced yard, so the dog would have had to be in the house with us. And let me clarify that I love dogs; I will pet any dog that allows it. However, I have 2 cats. And neither has lived with a dog in years. And honestly, if i had no pets, i would let them bring the dog. (The dog in question is a 40 pound mixed breed)

    Font - I refuse to lock up my cats so my friends can bring over their dog. They claim the dog is, "a very good boy," which I don't doubt. But my cats will likely be terrified the whole time.

    Font - My friend is offended that I won't let them bring their dog; I think it's my house and my cats don't deserve to be locked up. AITA for not letting my friend bring their dog to the party?

    Organism - BinReady123. 6 days ago NTA. We have cat here and she would be terrified if a dog came in the house. She would be scared long after the dog had gone too. The house is her sanctuary and she is part of our family. There is no way I would violate that, just for the convenience of someone else.

    Font - bos-tea-party 6 days ago I have a fenced in yard and three dogs and work at a goddamn animal shelter And I still don't let people bring their pets to my home because it stresses one of my dogs out intensely and she'd have to stay indoors locked up alone. And even if I had zero dogs it's still my decision to make! What an entitled pet owner this person is

    Font - Shebalba64205 · 6 days ago Professor Emeritass [76] What type of entitlement does this friend have to think their dog is 1. necessary to bring to someone else's house? and 2. important enough to get PISSED at someone for not letting the dog come? Best solution is to not invite the friend, either, until they can behave as well as they claim their 'very good boy' is. NTA.
