Their garden party is disrupted when Suzanne brings her dog despite a no-pets policy. The dog causes damage and becomes sick, leaving Suzanne unjustifiably angry at them.
The Garden Party
So this person, who we will call Blake, was hosting a big garden party at the weekend. Blake invited their entire friend group along with their partners. However, one of Blake’s friends, Suzanne, habitually took her dog everywhere she went. Before the party, Blake had made it clear that no pets were allowed, as they had four cats who did not get along with dogs, and neither did Blake.
Dog Tagged Along
Despite the explicit instructions, Suzanne arrived at the party with her dog. Blake promptly reminded her that her dog was not welcome in the house or the garden and asked her to take it home or find another place to keep it.
She Still Won’t Listen
Thinking that Suzanne had left, Blake went inside to attend to some tasks. Around 15 minutes later, when Blake returned to the garden, they were surprised to find Suzanne conversing with their friends. Since Suzanne lived far away, Blake couldn’t understand how she had returned so quickly. Curious, Blake approached Suzanne to inquire about her sudden reappearance.
The Dog Roamed
Suzanne casually mentioned that she had dropped by briefly but was leaving because her dog was unwelcome. When Blake asked about the whereabouts of her dog, Suzanne shrugged and casually replied that the dog was somewhere in the garden.
On a Dog Search
Concerned, Blake searched and discovered Suzanne’s dog at the bottom of the garden, causing havoc by eating crops and making a mess. Annoyed, Blake confronted Suzanne, demanding she remove her dog from the property.
The Frantic Call
Hours later, Suzanne called Blake, frantic to know what her dog had consumed. Blake, having no knowledge of the specific items the dog had eaten, explained that their gardener took care of the planting and maintenance, making it impossible for Blake to provide precise details. However, Blake did inform Suzanne that her dog had caused significant damage, dug up various things, and had likely consumed some unknown substances.
Suzanne’s Anger
Suzanne erupted in anger, accusing Blake of not caring about her dog’s well-being and labeling them a bad person. Despite feeling sympathy towards her dog, Blake stood their ground, reminding Suzanne that they had explicitly asked her not to bring the dog onto their property, making it her responsibility.
Contacting the Gardner
Blake attempted to contact their gardener to gather more information but, unfortunately, received no response. When Suzanne called again, desperately seeking answers, Blake reiterated their lack of knowledge about what the dog had eaten. Blake did provide Suzanne with photographic evidence of the extensive damage caused by the dog. However, they could not pinpoint the exact consumed items due to the chaotic state of the affected area.
Blocked Communication
To end the relentless harassment from Suzanne, Blake eventually blocked her calls and texts. Later, Blake received an update from a mutual friend that Suzanne’s dog was in a veterinary hospital but was expected to recover fully.
The Revelation
Eventually, Blake managed to contact their gardener, who indicated that the dog might have consumed potatoes or something similar. However, due to the extensive destruction and the changing nature of the garden, the gardener couldn’t provide a definitive answer. All the same, Blake told Suzanne everything the gardener said.
Blake shared their story in an online forum, wondering if he had acted wrongly toward Suzanne. People had a lot to say. Here are some interesting comments.
Always Good to Follow the Rules
One dog owner says they frequently ask for permission before bringing their pet along. “I would never go against someone’s wishes if they told me they didn’t want me to bring her,” they claim.
It’s Her Karma
Many forum users believe that Suzanne and her dog deserve any punishment they receive for breaking the rules. Because she wasn’t a responsible pet owner, she has the burden of figuring out what’s wrong and the emotional and financial toll of losing her dog.
For the Love of Pets
Clearly, Suzanne should have been a better parent. One pet owner explains, “I try to do everything I can to prevent my dogs and cats from coming to harm, including not taking them to places where there could be unknown dangers.” They recommend Suzanne pay whatever it takes to save her pet and take the event with her as a learning opportunity. They repeated that she was the cause of her problems.
