Well, I wouldn't want her dogs in my backyard either!!! Bad enough to have to pick up after your own dogs, but not others. This woman is a user, not a friend. A true friend would not allow that. Have you been in her home??? I can only imagine what it must be like. Some "friendships" are just not worth keeping.
BTW -- My 1st DH and I denied visits from his cousin and his family because of their son. He was nasty, uncontrolled, and was mean to our cat. After they left, I found the kid had unscrewed ALL the kitchen drawer handles and all the closet handles (the old bi-folds). That was bad enough but he HID them!!!!! Nope, some people just don't need to be in my home!
