Matt,

I too, would leave Marilyn at home.  After all, you know her best, no matter
what your family thinks.  Remember, if this is a party, perhaps feelings
will run high, people may be more boisterous, and perhaps Marilyn is meeting
new people for her, in addition to fielding play gestures from the other
dog.

Hi guys,
My mum's boyfriend has a 120 pound Alaskan malamute. Odin and Marilyn  met
last weekend, I thought it was too soon, but they got along pretty ok. The
only problem is, this dog wants to play, and I don't feel Marilyn is ready.
mum and her boyfriend are throwing a party tomorrow and I want to go. My
worry is how the dogs will interact. I did call my school and they agreed
with me that I not bring Marilyn with me. Family keeps asking me well, when
is it good for them to meet, and it's so hard to explain to them and it's
stressing me out. They'll say things like, oh but you take her to church and
she's fine, you bring her around your other friends who have dogs, (guide
dogs) mind you, little things like that. What do you guys think? 
God bless.
