The aunt may not have appreciated the dog pic as a gift and was letting you know not to do it again. I mean, why would she want a pic of a dog she doesn't know as a gift? Get her a gift certificate next time.
In the grand scheme of things, is this the hill you want to die on? Speak of it no more, go on your visits, sans pup, and let your boyfriend handle the cat/allergy issue. Stay out of it. |
VERY sound advice! Great post, you took the words out of my mouth.
As for the aunt not liking the way Leo looks, it is different strokes for different folks. I love the way my Jack Russell and Mini Wookie look(that is what we call Yorkies) but other people don't care for their looks. Some people prefer the smooshed face of a bulldog, or the slickness of a greyhound or the bulkiness of a pit bull. Don't judge her just because she doesn't squeal at Leo's face.
If these things are bothering you now, then I would seriously consider your options in the future. If you can't compromise with them now, they won't be any more forgiving/easier to deal with when they become in-laws.
