Help!!!
My sister and MOH is planning my bridal shower. At first she was thinking my mom's house, but my mom has a menagerie of animals inside her home (2 cats, a bird, and 2 dogs - 1 large and 1 medium sized). My sister is now rethinking places to have the shower because she is worried the dogs will be a problem, even if my mom offers to lock them in their crates in the spare bedroom. My MOH/sister fears they will be barking and making noise even if they are crated, and she won't be able to prepare or get anything done in preparation for the shower with the dogs running around the house all crazy.
My mom is VERY sensitive and was really looking forward to being a part of everything by having the shower at her house..and she is extra sensitive about anything having to do with her animals. I'm afraid if we suggest boarding the animals for the day of the shower, she might take offense and think we are telling her that her animals are misbehaved (which they are, but I don't want to come across that way). My question is, how do I approach the subject of boarding the dogs with my sensitive mom? Should we just throw in the towel and suggest having the shower somewhere else? I don't want to hurt her feelings
Any advice would be appreciated!
