I am taking my dog with me to my bf's family home this thanksgiving. I took her there before and she was a nutty girl. (she found an old picture of his grandmother from somewhere and she chewed it....) But no accidents. They have a lab but he is usually outside the house but last time I took her, he was inside and he wanted to play with my Momiji (3lb) but he was bit too rough on her and she got scared.... I did ask my bf if it is O.K. for me to take her and he said yes so hope his family doesn't mind.... |
I'd probably try to make everybody happy - get a hotel room, leave the doggies in the room, eat with family and run back to hotel. |
We are going to my mother's house for Thanksgiving. It's about a 4 hour drive. My mom is okay with the dogs, but my Grandma is not and her house is where we will be spending most of the day. We're not doing Thanksgiving together for another week and I will have my puppy by then. My sister has a yorkie puppy too and we are planning on puting them under the carport outside in a play yard. But, I live in the South and its been in the 70's here lately. |
That's awful, I can't imagine! Even my hubby's grandmother would let us bring Vinnie and she can't stand little dogs. She has a gorgeous house with rooms you are not allowed to go in because she doesn't want you to walk on the carpet and she would let Vinnie come knowing there would be no way of keeping him off those carpets! |

I am so sorry you did not get this worked out so you could be together as a family, especially after so many years in the military have kept you separated. I know how difficult this must be to be seperated from your husband and girls. I am not having the planned Thanksgiving day either - due to one person spoiling it for everyone else - I had intended to drive 14 hrs to be with my brother and sister-in-law and their 2 babies, including my 5 mth old niece, who I haven't even met yet. And they said my yorkies were welcome to come :) Plus my parents would be there. But my daughter 18 yr old daughter has thrown a major fit, she thinks she is so independent after going off to college and refused to go. I couldn't leave her by herself for the holiday, nor could I drive it without her, so after a battle for 4 days we are staying home - and on top of that it's snowing buckets her today. We could have been somewhere much warmer. It is too bad, when one person can spoil the family get together for everyone else. |
Such a shame. Those of us who have lost loved ones since last Thanksgiving would give anything to have our families back together for one more time, with or without our furbabies.:( |
Thank you so much for all your support girls! I really needed it. I thought I was ok with this. I thought that it would be ok this one time to split up just to make her happy but found myself really upset when I was getting the hubby and girls ready to go. Now I have spent the last hour since they left just in tears. They won't be back until Friday afternoon. We havn't lived here very long and really don't know anyone that he could have stayed with but even if we had I don't think I would have gone for it as she is just being ugly from the start. My husband didn't want to go without us and I told him he should go to keep the peace but I can promise that this will be the last time we will be seperated because she wants to be ugly...I have already decided I will have an open invitation to my house on holidays and they can come if they want but we won't be staying there again. Now I have to figure out how to quit with the tears so I can just enjoy my son's. |

I'm sorry things didn't work out for you. My daughter's the same way. She has four dogs, but she'll never let me take my dog's over her house. |
hence this is why I have thanksgiving at my house every year.. The people who I know will make a fuss about my kiddos I dont even invite. Its my house I am not going to let them spoil my mood or have them treat my dogs bad in THEIR house.. I dont agree with how some of their kids behave so I wont go if I know I will be annoyed by their children. In my eyes they have 2 choices, either deal with my kiddos, or dont come.. they are eating my food for free anyway.. its not like they are paying... |
people who dont like animals, i have no use for and thats the way i feel. your doing the right thing, heck , thats why im spending my thanksgiving over my brothers house with his 4 kids because i can take lexi there.. i will not be with my b/f and his family.. his moms husband does not like dogs and therefore i dont like him. of course i have no use for him either... he could kiss my dairy ass...if lexi cant come, neither can i... good move sweetie,, and stick by your guns:thumbup: :thumbup: someone said in this thread family is more important, well heck lexi is my family and id be damed if she couldnt go with me... frig em all |
Iam so sorry things didnt work out for you, And i do know how you feel,my side of the family all have pets so its no big deal for me to bring babies to there house, but hubby side have no pets, so i cant take mine there either. so what i do, I go for a very short visit and leave, its hard though if you have to travel along ways:( Now with charlie not feeling well, iam staying home. |
I'm sorry that that's how it had to be. :( I wouldn't leave mine either if it was a long trip like that - but we just go over my aunt's house (10 minutes away), so we'd always let the dogs stay home. Try to enjoy your Thanksgiving. :) Maybe there's someone on here near you you could spend the day with lol. |
cindy you just crack me up girl, but your right. |
I told My hubby your story and he said you did the right thing too. He also said what a nasty mother in law |
I wish your Husband and girls would have choose not to go also. I think she is just being petty and wants to control the situation.Yes,her house but why not just set some boundaries for the visiting babies? |
My in-laws never cared for dogs(they had one, and only one), they never wanted dogs in their house, but, having the 4 inside ones, I never would have taken them all anyway...Some people just aren't dog people, just like some people aren't cat people...I have lived enough years to realize to each his own..what is good for one isn't always good for the other..I've always respected their wishes..they won't be around forever. |
and neither will the animals!!!! |
As much as we love our animals, they are NOT humans! If it weren't for her in-laws, she wouldn't have her wonderful husband.. |
I am sorry this happen to you Kim, I just wanted to say I hope you have a great Thanksgiving with your son....I don't mean to be rude, but her husband is gone to his parents, so there is no need you being so rude...she loves her dogs and in your post you said " have lived enough years to realize to each his own..what is good for one isn't always good for the other..I've always respected their wishes.." with that being said by yourself you don't have to be rude to others on here....:( |
I know she's upset, and I'm not trying to be rude..I feel sorry for her, but, I just know that if I had a choice between being with my family and having to leave my yorkie(s), yes, it would be hard, but, dogs don't think like humans... |

I'm sure she understood your opinion the first time. Don't you think she feels bad enough without you stating your opinion over and over again? |
I beg to differ with you. My yorkies are definitely as important to me as any person and if they weren't welcomed that would be just fine with me as I'm sure I'd be much happier at home with them than "stressing" at an in-laws house during a holiday dinner. I'd also be just as happy to see my hubby of over 30 years trot on over to his mom's -- and she's in upstate NY and we're in Florida -- for the day(s) as well. He's entitled to go if he feels like being with his mom for Thanksgiving and I'd have our Thanksgiving when he returned. No big deal. I'd enjoy the days of peace and quiet. |
well,, my dad loves lexi, but would sometimes rather her stay home if we are all together, sometimes its just too much, but i tell him thats just tuff s**t and i take her anyway. i had a big brawl one day when lexi was little over taking her to my brothers house and he didnt want her to come and it was a screaming match in the street and i told him to never come around again.. well, he came around the next day and felt like a heel.. never apoligized, but would never do it again... never ever... my parents just want to make their children happy. no matter what.. |
hha, I really, honestly wish that you would just stop. I was going to say something before, but I decided to drop it. But you keep coming back and posting your thoughts, so I may as well post mine. You said in your earlier post "to each his own." If YOU would leave your dogs, that's quite nice. SHE doesn't want to leave her dogs. that's HER choice, not yours. Your decisions aren't always right because you're older and wiser. We all have our own opinions are believe it or not we've all actually had expierances that we can build off of to make our decisions. She is a big girl, she can decide what she wants to do without your help. If you don't agree with her decision, that's OK. But you've already told us that, you don't need to keep saying it. |
We are staying at home this christmas, if family want to visit, then fine but its Pixie's 1st christmas with us and we want to enjoy her on our own, plus my hubby and i spent last christmas apart because he is in the Royal Air Force.;) |
This thread just breaks my heart, I hope everyone that's been posting on it has a great Thanksgiving and that next year you have all your relatives still with you. You never know when it will be your last Thanksgiving together. Yes, I love my dogs. It broke my heart when my little Sophie died and I would do anything in the world for my babies. I was able to get another yorkie but I cannot ever get another mother :( - as a matter of fact, it took 3 yorkies to even begin to fill the hole in my heart that Sophie left. |
