the annoying pets!

if you go to my house unannounced you will hear dogs barking at you.. You come to my house so whatever you see there it is totally your problem. But our dogs have their own room. so I am sure you will not be bothered, there are just a dog and cat in the living room LOL and birds around the garage. and a noisy parrot.. hahaha but noisy by funny.

i have been through this. and yeah i got annoyed by the dogs playing all over the house but because it's a good friend's dog, i just let it pass and clean the mess when they leave.

I have pets who are very friendly but if a visitor shows discomfort my pets will not go near them. I particularly ask my visitors if it is ok by them to have my pets around. Pet lovers do not understand why some do not like animals but that is how it is and they should respect their feelings.

Hi, One day one of my friends came to our city Alibag. It is tourist place. My friend came their with his wife and their dog. They had booking in the lodge but the dogs are not allowed in that hotel. So they came to our house. That dog was freely wondering in my house. I didn't like that. But I didn't show my friend that. But I thought that they should have been inquired that the dogs are allowed in that lodge or not. If I were in their place I didn't bring the dog in anybody's house.

Yeah, it's true not all people loves pets although it is really nice to have one. Maybe the reason why some people don't like pets for they don't want to have additional hassle in caring a pet.

I have a very well trained 14 year old cat who is a bit friendly sometimes. Which I always thought was much better then having a non friendly cat, but that's besides the point. In my honest opinion, my home is my cat's home. And has been for 14 years, he's there when I'm lonely and sad and depressed, which is more then any of my company can claim. If it was a professional coming over, or something to that degree I put the cat in another room and vaccuum for the sake of not getting cat hair on their business attire only. Otherwise, if you have a problem I don't really want you over anyways. Ask me out for lunch or coffee instead, or invite me over to your house. Not to sound like rude or anything, I'm really not. I just feel people feel too entitled when they come over to my home. Now the only thing I find really annoying is I have this one friend who has an untrained doberman who hounds you while you're eating and he has no dinner table so you eat at the living room table which is level with the dog. That I find is annoying and rude, if my pet did something to that degree I'd put them in a different room for the duration of the visit. It varies on the degree of the 'offence'.

Yes. I care for my dogs and I love them, but when visitors come to my home, I keep them in a room. Once, a long time ago, I went to a friend's home and the dogs were barking much too much for me. I believe that dogs, once hushed, would pacify, but those dogs were jumping and were all over us I wouldn't know what to do. Dog owners should know that their dogs are theirs, and are not affectionate to visitors.

I know exactly how you feel. I am slightly allergic to their fur, but most of the time I can tolerate them. But that doesn't mean that I want to be slobbered upon or be crawled up and down by their pets. Last february, my husband and I visited his friend's house and they have a huge dog (I forgot the breed). And she was so friendly, much too friendly to be jumping up and down for a dog her size. I am really uncomfortable and they keep on saying she's friendly. She then managed to scratch my leg, it bled but not too much. Good thing she's got vaccines for rabies and other than a torn leggings and a scratch I'm okay. They did apologize for that but I think it is something that could have been prevented if only they are a bit more considerate.

It is just that some person lack a better understanding on other person but on this case I appreciate your maximum tolerance on what happened. It is also true that some people don't want pets for maybe of additional hassle in caring and some really don't want at all for personal reason

Dont pay attention to the dog they will go away. Remember they not people they animals so they can't talk so they use body language. Turn your back to the dog and to tell it that its not ok to come close. The worst thing to do is shout at it or tell it no. It will just get more excited.

i too have a female pamerian.. She is so cute and i love her but it doesnt mean that even my guests wud love her the same way. Although most of the time they appreciate her understanding and calmness as she never disturbs anybdy . Instead its the opposite case when guests with kids and some dog lover guests ,who love pets little too much, come she has a tough time facing them and escaping them.

I think pets are just people they are great friends with a great personalitys. So treat them that way
