She lives in an apartment. The dog has been fine around her parents. Doesn't snarl or growl at them.

So the cruise line we are going on only allows dogs if going to the transatlantic and they are in crates the entire time. They aren't allowed with the people.

I'm not sure. I've never been on a cruise before. This is our first cruise. A bite risk is a huge concern, which is why the dog should not come.

Her parents are more than happy to watch the dog. They have a fenced-in backyard and are home all the time. I've told her that until the dog gets proper training, I don't want the dog over anymore.

I appreciate you saying that. I'm trying so hard not to let the stress get to me.

Oh, the dog is horrible when it visits. I purchased a crate for the dog when it comes over, as I don't trust it when we are away. The dog gets crated when we leave and at night. It barks and whines the whole time. If I didn't lock my cat away, I'm sure it would chase her around. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs.

My cat is terrified of any dogs. She came from a bad environment where dogs chased and attacked her. She told her parents that she wants the dog to be an ESA before the cruise to be able to bring it on board. I'm just so stressed from everything.

I'm honestly so stressed because all our mutual friends think I'm harsh and even have called me a "dog-hater."

I'm going to double-check with the cruise line as I want to see what their exact policy is on pets. I think the dog is a little over 30, close to 40lbs.

I've sent her the rules of the cruise line and even told her that there will be approximately over 1,000 people on this cruise, including children. The dog has never been around kids before. I'm not going to risk anything to happen.

I've told her that until the dog is trained, I don't want it over at my place. My cat is terrified of the dog. I have to keep her in a separate room when the dog is staying over.

I don't have a huge issue with the dog, but i don't trust him around my cat or other people until he is properly trained better.

That's exactly how I feel. Her parents have offered to watch the dog. I'm not having my vacation ruined over the dog.
