Its hard to believe that some people can be so ignorant to the love one has for their pet. I can relate to you. I am not visiting my mother in law this summer because she does not respect Baby at all. She thinks my devotion to her is insane and she threw a hissy fit when she heard I bought Juicy. She hasn't talked to me in 4 weeks.

I think that you are right to be hurt. I hope that you can come to a decision. I personally would tell your sister. Maybe he was joking. Yorkies can't be tied up in the back yard. He has to know that much!!
