AITA for telling my friend she can’t bring her dogs to my house?
One of my friends from high school moved interstate for college and was planning a trip down to catch up with friends. She drove down in her RV and is staying at a caravan park. We had planned a big catch up event for this Saturday, and my friend arrived yesterday.
When we were planning the trip, she mentioned that she was wanting to bring her two dogs with her (a golden retriever and a Great Dane) with her and asked if that would be an issue for me. I said it would be fine, because she assured me her dogs were well behaved, as long as they stayed in the yard.
She came over yesterday to say hi, and had the dogs with her. We had coffee in the backyard and the dogs honestly were a lot more energetic than I had imagined. As soon as she let them off the leash they zoomed off around the yard and began peeing on everything, including flowers, the lawn, pot plants, etc. The dane in particular was extremely badly behaved and took a long pee up the side wall of the house as well. I think my friend sensed my discomfort as she poured some water from her bottle onto the wall. One of the dogs also proceeded to poop right on the middle of the back porch (which my friend looked embarrassed when she picked up).
I asked my friend if she would mind not bringing the dogs on Saturday because they are just too much. She says that she had asked me in advance and I’ve left her in an awkward situation since she doesn’t have anyone to look after the dogs. She said that if they are outside, and we are inside, we won’t notice them. She also said that the only reason they were so energetic was because they’d come off a long car ride down. She said she’d take them to pee and poo beforehand so it’s not as big of an issue. I told her that it’s not my problem and that she lied about them being well behaved.
