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.

Gotcha. Then, by all means, it doesn't sound like the date is that major, nothing to feel guilty for postponing. It's an early relationship, it doesn't sound like you've cancelled before (to make him think there's a pattern or you're not being truthful), and, you've got plans for the weekend already. Sounds like if there was ever a date that was cancellable without repercussion, this is it. You're a good friend, that's obvious. Keep being a good friend. Sounds like you'd pretty much already made up your mind anyway, but, it's always good to get second or third or fourth opinions. My thoughts are with your friend and her child. Good luck and good on you for taking them in.
