Yorkiegirl's suggestion is great. Go and leave your puppy at home. I'm sure your aunt will have better things to do than harass you all evening over it. These people are supposed to be your family and if you need your puppy to gain admission to the dinner party, then screw them. People can only mistreat you if you allow them to do it. If you stand up for yourself and your puppy they may be a bit put off but they'll learn to respect you.
I'm sure we'll all be checking back to see what you ended up doing. Have a Merry Christmas. |
