Or is she staying at your house and you are going to talk with her and be with her? I just wasn't totally clear...

Well you see I would go on the date anyways & leave them at my house alone but theres a few reasons:
Her health is not good & she has been through a LOT lately, I know she would enjoy it very much if helped care for her daughter.
Raustyk loves them but she's not fond of people entering my house when I am not there, I honestly doubt she would do anything but bark a little at first till she knew who they were but my friend is kind of scared of her when she acts like that.
Our date was planned to be a short date anyways, during the weekday I don't get home from work till later. If I were to go on the date I'd have NO time to spend with my friend & her daughter.
