As difficult of a situation this is... It is always best to honor the request of the homeowner. How long will you be gone? Is it possible to stay at a dog friendly hotel/motel near your MIL? Then you can still take Teddy but not impose on your MIL. Yes he will be alone for few hours at a time, but you will still be the one to care for him.
Or is she close enough to make it a day trip?
I know this is not the response you were looking for and I know you are feeling hurt, but again, it is not your home and you are the guest.
Another option is to find a sitter who comes to your home to take care or both of them.
I hope you find a solution. |
