My puppy Jack is 4 months old, so this holiday season he was introduced to the various family. My husband's family...well, they already thought I was odd, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

At both gatherings, Jack was in either a tee-shirt or a sweater and there was this one particular sister-in-law who was very amused and condescending about it, and rude. She thinks she's smarter and better because she has a college degree and I don't, but she acted like we should just let Jack shiver and be cold. I just wanted to ask her, if you're so much better how come you'd let a puppy be cold? They teach you to be mean and heartless at college?

But I kept quiet and carried my sweet little puppy around, while her kid ran around screaming like a maniac. If taking care of my furbaby makes me crazy, big WHOOP!
