So, on Monday we planned to take our kids to a fair. When we go, we go all out. 3 pm when the gates open until midnight when it closes. No pets allowed though. So obviously we had to get a puppy sitter.
I asked my sister about a month ago if she’d do it. Thing is my puppy gets a bit anxious away from people he doesn’t know. He knows my sister well. She agreed to do it. The plan was that I’d pack a puppy bag for him, put him in his large kennel, and she’d come get him after work around 5 pm then drive him to her house in his smaller kennel and keep him there. At midnight or so, we would go pick him up from her veranda where he’d be sleeping in the travel kennel. Easy enough, right?
Two days before, we went over the plan and she was cool. Then, the next day she calls me and says it’s going to take her too much time to drive to my house after work. She asked if I could just bring him to her place and leave him in her veranda for a couple hours until she gets home from work. I said no, that’s not going to work out well because he’s never been to your house before and he will trip out. I’d rather not leave him alone in your veranda for 2+ hrs and that’s not what we had planned here. She told me I was being crazy and that he’d be fine, etc etc. I told her that I wasn’t leaving him and not to worry about it. I will make other arrangements.
We ended up putting him in a puppy daycare (he absolutely LOVED it!) Surely will never ask anyone to babysit him again because he did so well with the daycare! But now my sister keeps texting me, demanding an apology because I was rude to her for not bringing him over. She claims I was being crazy. Was it rude to not bring him there? I personally feel like she was the rude one but maybe I’m mistaken.
