I was planning on going Wednesday night and coming back Thursday night, or possibly Friday since I took the day off of work. I had to practically beg to bring Beesley--they would only let me on the condition he doesn't make a mess in the house. He won't, but there's going to be about 30 people present...about 30 people Beesley will hate for a few hours. He gets scared when people come on too strong to him and he pees himself. This family is a bit intense, and I'm afraid he might have an accident. A mass email was sent out yesterday informing all attending that I will be present, so I feel obligated now. I hate flakes anyway, and I don't want to turn into one.
I have one of three options:
1. Say no to the coworker and just take Beesley to the family function, meaning Squirt will go to my coworker's friends house who she said is the last person she'd ever want her dog with.
2. Take Squirt for the week, but leave her at my house and ask my friend to check on her while I'm gone (which defeats the purpose of spending time with her)
3. Beg the family (again) to let me bring a kenneled dog...which also defeats the purpose of spending time with her, as I KNOW she'll have an accident if I take her out of the kennel.

southernbelle TOTALLY beat me to EXACTLY what i was gonna say......
option 2 sounds the best to me ..... that way you will at least still have friday, saturday and sunday with the puppers......
poor bees..... that many people can be overwhelming for humans..... give him an extra hug for me..... or if you are going to have the friend come over for squirt, maybe leave beesley with her and they can keep each other company while mom is gone........
