Even in the summer heat I have trouble sleeping without at least one of them next to me. <br />But we've also been to many dog shows and I know the difficulties of keeping a dog in a small space.<br />And dealing with elevators.<br />I'm sorry your canine therapy didn't end so well.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320886074658710855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841841084671666214.post-78007745637741462572016-08-02T14:14:16.511-05:002016-08-02T14:14:16.511-05:00There is nothing wrong with setting boundaries and...There is nothing wrong with setting boundaries and communicating them nicely and firmly. If PDaughter is old enough to have a boyfriend, she's old enough for you to have the conversation about not obligating YOU to anything without asking. It was amazing and freeing for me to realize I could say "no". And I am a good southern girl, raised to be nice. Since this seems like only the first of such impositions, practice saying "That won't work for us to have DDog at the apartment when you're gone. You'll need to board him." I'm a dog person, but that's not going to kill DDog, PDaughter, or your ex (though they'll all act like it is the first time.<br /><br />Obviously, the pick up visit wasn't all nice, or you wouldn't have been so stressed afterward.<br /><br />I get the feeling that you were raised as I was - be nice. Don't rock the boat. So set your boundaries, and say NO with a big smile on your face! You will be amazed that it feels freeing, the world won't tilt off its axis, and people won't think you're a bitch. If they do, fuck 'em.
