I need to be at my bestie’s birthday event. But I’ll be miserable, sneezing, watery-eyed and will have trouble breathing — not my idea of a party.
Dear Lisi: My bestie has two dogs that shed massively. I love them but can’t be around them because I’m allergic. I can never go to her house, or even get in her car. And when she comes to me, I have to give her a hand-held vacuum and a lint roller on my front porch before she enters. We laugh about it, but it is problematic.
He probably wouldn’t want the dogs around for the party anyway, so you’re probably not putting him out with your suggestion. But I still suggest you load up on your allergy meds. And if you must bow out early, your friend will understand. I have agreed to pay for a large portion of the event. She is my only child and I want to help them out. His parents are also paying for some things, along with all the flights and hotels for the family who are all out of town.
