@Consolation -

The therapy dog was a golden retriever. I assume that the woman brought her dog because she knows the hostess is a dog lover and that neither she nor the hostess thought about me and my phobia. I got the impression that she had visited with her dog before. I would have been ok had the dog not kept following me around and sticking its snout against my legs. If it had stayed on the other side of the room, I could have avoided it. I actually found her comment condescending. If I wanted to be cured of my phobia, I would seek therapy. It’s just easier to avoid dogs and spend my money on things I actually care about.

I understand about snakes. I don’t like them, either. My son kept one for a few months for a friend and I didn’t set foot in his room. I sent H in every day to check that there was a giant rock on top of the aquarium so it couldn’t escape. Finally, I made my son give it to someone else.
