Some 'parents' think their 'kids' are way more important than your kids bc your kids are dogs and not human. Its not right I don't think. Anyone in your home should respect your loves. It mean disciplining their children for sure. I have issues with my brother not respecting me in my home by not respecting my dogs. It stinks, but stand your ground. She'll be back, she loves you, she just need to respect you. I suspect that she'll come around when she realizes that you will not tolerate your living beings being hurt as much as she wouldn't tolerate hers being hurt. Dog, kid, it does not matter. Its a living being. Hopefully she'll teach her children to respect and love animals. This may be the kick in the pants she needs to make that happen. I'm sorry though, I'm sure it's very upsetting not knowing what will happen, just give it some time.
