She Doesn’t Want To Go On Vacation With Her Friend Because She Doesn’t Like Her Friend’s Aggressive Dog
Three years ago, this woman’s friend, Ana, rescued a pit bull. Meanwhile, she has two small dogs, both just 11 pounds, that she rescued 10 years ago.
Not too long ago, she bought a beach house, and Ana was excited at the idea of the two of them going to the beach house together. She agreed and thought it would be a good time. Ana is a close friend of hers who she enjoys being around.
She has known Ana for the last 20 years, and they have been through each other’s darkest moments.
Ana supported her when she almost died during the birth of her son. After the ordeal, she spent two weeks recovering in the hospital, endured several blood transfusions, and her son spent eight weeks in the NICU.
Through this terrifying experience, Ana was there for her, and she came over to her house to help out throughout her emotional and physical recovery.
Ana then provided emotional support when she and her husband divorced. And she reciprocated support when Ana needed it.
Tragically, Ana’s husband passed away five years ago, and only a month after that, her father suddenly passed away.
Later, Ana was extremely ill and had to have a major intestinal surgery. The recovery process was brutal, and she was with Ana to help her however she needed. Since suffering such tragic losses back-to-back, Ana has been deeply sad and struggling to cope with living in a world where her husband and father are no longer here.
Unfortunately, Ana is going to bring her dog to the beach house because she can’t find anyone to watch her dog, and the beach where the house is located allows dogs.

“The dog is aggressive. He has no training. He has bitten me once, and I have not introduced my dogs to her dog yet in fear of what could happen,” she said.
While Ana’s dog is incredibly sweet toward her, the dog doesn’t seem to like any other people.
On the other hand, Ana’s dog does provide safety and security for her because she lives by herself now that her children have all moved out to attend college, and she lives in an unsafe part of town.
Luckily, the dog has done wonders for helping Ana cope with everyday life and her grief. Because of her dog, she now has a reason to get up in the morning so that she can walk her dog instead of lying in bed all day. Ana and her dog also go swimming at a local nature preserve.
Now, Ana feels safer living alone since she has her dog. There has also been progress with Ana’s emotions on a day-to-day basis. In the past, Ana couldn’t hold conversations without sobbing because of her grief. Since she’s gotten her dog, she is able to talk more without crying. But, naturally, grief changes over time and doesn’t ever go away, so it makes sense that Ana is still deeply sad and misses her husband and father every day.
“I avoid meeting her at her house. When she comes to my house, we meet outside only, or I keep my dogs in my bedroom because she always brings her dog,” she explained.
Plus, Ana’s dog can’t be trusted not to destroy property.
“The dog has peed on two new rugs and a couch. The dog has torn a few of my shoes,” she shared.
Even though this is obviously frustrating, it’s not the main reason she doesn’t want Ana to bring her dog to her beach house.
Her main worry is the safety of her own two dogs. Understandably, she feels uneasy at the idea of allowing Ana’s dog to be near hers, and it would be awful if she had to keep her own dogs locked away in a room for an entire week at the beach house just because Ana wanted to bring her dog with her.
Eventually, she researched the insurance policies of both her home and her beach house. It turns out that both of her properties do not allow pit bulls, rottweilers, or Dobermans.
She feels so conflicted because while she feels nervous being around Ana’s dog and also is scared about her dogs and their safety, she doesn’t want to hurt Ana’s feelings.
But she texted Ana, telling her that they needed to have a talk the following day. She planned to tell Ana that her insurance doesn’t allow pit bulls, and this way, she doesn’t have to bring up her own reservations and concerns and can just stick to the topic of her insurance preventing Ana’s dog from being able to stay at the beach house.
She also wondered if Ana’s home insurance doesn’t allow pit bulls, either, but she didn’t want to bring that up because she doesn’t feel like that’s her business.
