Then, don't. It is a shame to be pushed to making a choice between family time and the safety of a pet who depends on you for her safe-keeping. But, sometimes life just hands us situations that demand those decisions. If / when asked why you would miss a family function "over a dog", smile sweetly and say - "Welllll.....I don't have the $$$ for vet bills should she be stepped on, dropped, or be overly-stressed. Do you? When the family learns to treat her like the living creature she is, and will respect my judgments concerning her - then, maybe we
all can enjoy her."
