Dog Added to the Guest List? I Don't Think So!

Oh man, BDB, sorry this is happening and I am sure once you 'splain it to them all with be well.

If not, plmk

xox

If it were a hotel I could totally see how the guests would be ok bringing their dog. But with a shared house it's a different story. I would call to chat before getting upset. It is possible they assumed you chose a pet friendly place bc you were bringing your dog. I don't know your friends but I'd hope to chalk it up to an innocent, though thoughtless, mistake on their end.

I think when there are DWs and guests are staying a long time you end up with these kind of weird issues where you need to try to accommodate more than an at home wedding. Of course I'm not saying you are required to figure out their dog situation, but I don't think having a pet issue for a week long DW situation is disgusting. If you were going to say you can't bring your kids to Punta Cana for a week, well ok that would def be insane & disgusting.

Anyway, off my tangent....I agree with Barbara that you should just call and explain you're not bringing your own dog & will not be having any in the house but then give her the info of other nearby hotels she can bring Bruce to.

Sorry I don't see the big deal? I googled the venue and literally the first link says pet friendly.. I don't think their assumption that it was okay was that far fetched. Maybe they thought you specifically chose that venue for that reason since it's says it in the description plus they are staying over several nights...?

Edited for spelling

My boss brought his dog to the church and the reception. She sat in the church and then partied with us at the reception. it was pretty fun.

Why does this person have to stay for a week?

Update: John spoke to his friend today. He and his wife are coming for the week. Bruce is staying home. When they checked the website and saw pet friendly, they did not notice it said one pet only, and assumed we would be bringing our dog and would want other guests to do the same. They understand where we are coming from in our decision not to have any pets down for the week. So all is good. Crisis averted. Thanks to all of you for your feedback and advice.

Phew! Glad it went so smoothly!

This made me laugh so hard. People are crazy!
