My roommate hates my dog. what can i do?

Me and my boy just got an apartment with his sister. She knew that we have a pit bull that we have as a indoor pet. Well I paid the deposit on the new home and applacation fees for everyone and my boy paid the pet deposit. Now she is saying that she doesnt under any circumstances want our dog in HER house. We pay 2/3 of the rent as well as all utilities. She also has the majority of the house to herself and her child even though she only pays 1/3 of the bills. She says that her friends kids have alergies and that its not fair that they cant come visit b/c we have a pet. Is she being unreasonable or is it fair that we have our pet where we want. Just to keep things cool we only allow our dog in our room and on our balcony. But this isnt good enough for her she said that she doesnt even want the dog in our room. I think she is just being a b i t c h. What do you guys think?

Update:

we cant move out. we just signed a year lease less than a week ago. she keeps saying that shes either gonna move and take us to court because she said we agreed to leave our dog on the balcony 24/7 when that was something that she came up with herself and just kept saying around us and we were like whatever. i wouldnt ask her to get rid of a pet that she has had for years just because my friend had sickly children. (not to mention they dont even live in the same neighborhood as us and visit very rarely.

Update 2:

Why should it matter what kind of dog it is. We had the dog before her 2 year old was even born. Our dog has been through obedience training and is harmless other than her "pet dander." Plus she knew about the dog before she decided to move in with us. And our dog is not a full blooded pit shes mixed with lab and is harmless. So please if you dont have something to say about the situation please dont post anything. I dont need people telling me how bad pits are.... I get the fact that some people just dont like them no matter what you say.

    i consider my dog as a family member. if anyone i lived with told me they didnt like it i would get very nasty. i would be a smart *** and say yes you stupid ******, i will take my dog to the pound. but you better take youre child and dump him off too. that is so rude of her to say that to you. you are already paying 2/3 of the bills. i would kick that bitc.h out and just pay all of the bills. screw her. by the way if you live around the lake of the ozarks i am also looking for a new place to live. and everything is 50/50 with me. that would be cruel to leave the dog outside all the time, especially a dog like a pit bull. they only get mean when they dont have enough human contact. i personally would never have any pet unless i wanted it to live in the same environment as i do. i have always let my dogs even sleep in my bed.

    First of all, your friend has NO BUSINESS allowing her child to be in a house with a pit bull.

    And, don't give me that horsesh*t about how THIS particular dog is "so sweet" and "good" etc, etc, etc. I've heard it all before. AND I've made the calls where dogs like that have MAULED small children (I was a paramedic).

    I think you should seriously reconsider why you feel you have to have a dog like that as an "indoor pet".

    Move out and let her pay the other 2/3 of the rent.

    i agree with you because if your paying most of the bill i say you should keep the dog in and throw her on the balcony! jk. well sort of. it's up to you because you pay 90% of the bill you can make her! go visit her friends and ya you should get the point.

    Let her move out she knew you had the dog when she agree to move in with you. Let her take you to court, go on Judge Judy, she will set her straight.

    Talk to her about this unfairity, if there's still no understanding, then move out is the best choose, You got to let go the money you already pay.

    and she cannot sue you on court about that because she don't have any written proof.

    You say she keeps threatening to move out, I say wave bye-bye to her from the balcony and get another roommate.
