Petiquette for the Howlidays

If you want to score holiday invitations for your dog, don't act like a bonehead. The New York Times recently published a great article, "Who Invited the Dog?".

After reading it I was amazed and appalled that no one suggested keeping the dog leashed and under control from the moment he walked in. So here is a word to the wise: As a host you have the right to insist on the dog be kept under control. I'll bet Victoria Stilwell would agree that if "pet parent" guest is unhappy with this suggestion, he or she is welcome to party elsewhere!
