Extract 5
Dear Sandie: I’m not an animal person. I wasn’t raised with animals and find it difficult to have them in my home. Years ago, I tried a cat for my daughter’s sake, but it didn’t go well.
All my friends and family members know this about me. The problem is that certain friends and relatives who have pets expect them to my house when they come to visit. I have offered to house their pets either in the garage or in my fenced backyard, but they dismiss that idea and insist that their pets in my house.
If people go to the expense to own pets, they should also include the cost of kenneling when necessary. I take offence when pet owners insist on forcing their pets on me. How can I tactfully make this clear to others?
