Is your dog automatically welcome at your friends' and acquaintances' homes? Do you wait for an invite, or do you just bring Fido along?
A New York Times article takes a look at the sometimes thorny problem of what to do with the pooch when you have to go to a party or visit for extended periods of time.
I only bring Kate when the invitation has been offered. I don't fish around for it either.
When I was living in Shekomeko, I would be invited to dinners where I was told to bring Kate with me. Most if not all of the people were dog owners or dog lovers.
However, I stopped letting her come along after one dinner party where one of the guests insisted on feeding Kate from her plate. I asked her not to — after all, I was the one who would have to deal with the stomach problems, or worse. She refused, so I never brought Kate to another large party again.
Don't worry: Kate's social calendar is just fine.
