Tell Trudy to tell "your friend" she is buying a kennel; her dogs will be welcome but only if they stay in the kennel while they visit. We rented out a room to a very nice young lady who had too small dogs - we will told they'd be no trouble, they were house broke and all that. Well, they weren't. We went out and bought two kennels, and told our tenant the dogs could stay only on one condition. The dogs ruined the carpet and made the entire house stink. Don't feel bad that you expect your friend to honor your wishes and respect your home. If she was a true friend, your requests wouldn't bother her.
