I think you need to take a step back and look at the situation for both sides:
You have every right to do what works for your family & dog. But, you have to respect what you MIL want and doesn't want. If you can't stay at your MIL, then what about a hotel. If you can not afford a hotel, then maybe your family will choose to stay home.
Your MIL has every RIGHT to ask you not to bring the dog! Her house, her rules.
**If I was going to visit someone who said they didn't want my dog. I would be completely respectful of that. I would then make other arrangments that worked for me. |
