Help, please. We have our baby Grandson visiting for Christmas with his Mummy and Daddy and they are bringing their dog, our Grandson has just started crawling. We also have my daughter and her boyfriend and their dog staying for Christmas. We also have a dog!!!
I am so excited about the thought of us all spending time together but very nervous about having 3 doggies and a baby crawling. I have said that the Lounge room should be "DOG FREE" at least whilst our Grandson is in there I don't want it to spoil Christmas, my husband is even more concerned as our dog/daughters dog are not use to babies or small children. Our Grandson lives at the other end of the Country from us, so want to make it special.
Any tips would be so very much appreciated.
Thank you

whitewave, no you aren't invisible, your post was helpful - like many of the others on this thread

granjura I think we were agreeing with your expert's opinion (at least I was) but obviously she expressed it in a different fashion to me.

Thanks rosequartz- I do believe you were.

I was agreeing with the 'hear hear' post by goldengirl.

Ana Wed 12-Nov-14 16:37:03

Presumably some were miffed that their views were seemingly being questioned...hmm

ANA grin

Sorry about that I will just retrieve the odd toy or two blush

Nonu Wed 12-Nov-14 18:51:18

WHITE
Tee Hee !!

Ana Wed 12-Nov-14 18:54:56

I wasn't referring to your post, whitewave smile

whitewave Wed 12-Nov-14 18:58:52

ana I wasn't referring to your post either! Just blushing at my petulant post earlier on.

Nonu Wed 12-Nov-14 19:03:36

In my book ANA you cannot beat a good old miff, knocks the socks off anything else , although wait , a good old chuckle comes close !!

Ana Wed 12-Nov-14 19:04:36

Don't worry, I know how you feel!

It seems to happen to all of us at some time or other - our well-thought-out, informative and helpful posts are ignored by all and sundry as they gallop off on tangents of their own...grin

Oh yes!

Iam64 Wed 12-Nov-14 19:06:43

it's one of the joys of gransnet grin

rosequartz Wed 12-Nov-14 20:25:37

I'm used to being ignored. Happens all the time (at home too).

Soutra Thu 13-Nov-14 17:06:32

Surely there is nothing more to say on this subject? I am amazed that it has run to so many pages confused

Ana Thu 13-Nov-14 17:26:08

Well, it would have dropped off the list completely very soon if you hadn't added to it, Soutra!

soontobe Thu 13-Nov-14 18:03:02

Nobody had posted for 20 hours.
So I presume you just want to say hi.

So hi smile

Soutra Thu 13-Nov-14 18:41:11

Good grief does a person flippin have to ask permission to express an opinipn round here now ? And it had run to SIX pages even without my contribution which as it happens I had written last night but somehow failed to post. And no soon2be I wouldn't waste your time or my own in just saying "Hi".

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 13-Nov-14 19:00:58

Why not?!

Hi everybody. smile

soontobe Thu 13-Nov-14 19:07:42

Hi jinglbellsfrocks smile

granjura Thu 13-Nov-14 19:12:52

Indeed Soutra, thanks. Actually, a huge difference between giving an opinion- and just responding to someone asking for help and advice, and therefore requestion people's 'opinions'. I am baffled by the last page of post???
