[Kimbers Mommy]

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!
I don't know if you remember my post a few weeks ago asking if I were overprotective or not. It seems the past couple days have been like "pass the puppy" and I feel horrible for my baby.

Anyway - last time my mothers side of the family was over, they were tormenting the puppy. One of my aunts let her lick cake off her plate and then theya ll laughed at me when I got angry about it. They wanted her to jump off places she shouldn't, etc.,etc.,etc.

SO TONIGHT is a dinner for that side of the family. My aunt actually called here saying two of my cousins hadn't seen the puppy yet and to make sure that I brought her. I was going to go to the dinner, leave my baby at home to make sure she would be okay. I knew they might bug me for not taking her - but after that phone call, I defnitely knew they would not drop it. My mom was on the phone with her and I said "NO I AM NOT BRINGING HER" and my mom would say to my aunt "OHHH OKAY I'LL TELL HER TO BRING HER" like she's not a TOY! If I brought her, she would want to sit with me - b/c she's never been to this house before, but then I woul dbe mean for not letting anyone hold her. I know that they would let her eat their food and maybe even step on her (there would probably be about 40 people there)

So I am not going. I think my mom understands, as after the last time I was so upset with the way they acted. My older sister has a rottie - when he was a puppy, did they get mad if she didn't bring him around? NO! My baby is not a toy and I am standing my ground tonight (even though it sucks I'm missing a family dinner)... but I gues sif that's what it takes, I have to.
