Its been mentioned on here plenty of times that not all people are dog people, but the way your family was acting was plain out wrong. I would've snapped on them. What did they yell at your dog for? Was she being disobedient? If not, then they had no right too. And who cares if you let your dog sleep in your bed...your dog is probably cleaner than most people!! As for the 2yr old, he probably doesn't know better, I'm sure of it. Dont get mad w/ him, just correct him and if he's going to be w/ your baby, supervise very closely. If no one teaches him to be gentle, he'll never know.
Also, remember no dog should be treated like that, even if it is just "any dog" (which is like saying someone is just anyone, no one special).
Next time if you can, just go to the family reunion for a couple of hours maybe, or have someone stay w/ Tinkerbell. If you can, try not to bring her. That way you'll save the anger, fustration and heartbreak. Sorry your family was soo rude
