My aunts friends dog is a big lab. My dad didn't want to get into it with her, so we never bothered asking.

I understand some people don't like dogs being inside, but Zeke is an indoor dog. He goes out to pee, then comes inside basically (unless we're outside with him) so if he's left outside by himself, he thinks he's being punished. He just doesn't understand. I was going to put Zeke far enough away so that he wouldn't beg or be in the way. He's a very good dog, if I tell him to stay, he will. If I tell him not to beg he won't.

I to think people should be welcome as guest, but to a degree. I wouldn't stop someone from smoking in my house, but I really wouldn't like it. I may ask them to go outside, but I don't know. I would never go to someone elses place and just do whatever. I always treat it as someone elses place. I clean up my mess etc.

I like my aunt and uncle, but I'm not really close. We're very different people. I don't think it's a big loss for me or them if I don't go out anymore. If I was very close to them, I just wouldn't take Zeke. My dad agree's totally with me, and he said he understands that I ate outside (I told him I was going to, he said ok) and he says he understands why I don't want to go out anymore. He says it's my choice, and he's fine either way
