Walking the dog after LO is asleep

InLoveInChicago

Hi Ladies -

I don't actualy have a LO yet but I am staying with my friend's LO next week while she is out of town.  Here is my issue.  She lives in the city in a high-rise and she also has a dog.  The dog needs to be taken out quickly at night (8 pm) but the little one is asleep by 6:30.  It is an elevator ride to get downstairs.  She leaves the LO in his crib (sleeping) and takes the dog each night - probably 10 minutes or less.  I am really uncomfortable doing this.  I am not sure how to make this work and/or tell her I am uncomfortable.  She'll think I am judging her.  Should I just wake the baby and take him with when it is time to go out or should I follow the normal routine?

LO is 17 months, walking but can't get himself out of the crib yet.
