cindy you just crack me up girl, but your right.

chachi · 11-21-2007, 11:33 AM

I told My hubby your story and he said you did the right thing too. He also said what a nasty mother in law

Shadow · 11-21-2007, 11:46 AM

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?

hha · 11-21-2007, 11:54 AM

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.

Lexi Rae · 11-21-2007, 11:56 AM

and neither will the animals!!!!

hha · 11-21-2007, 12:11 PM

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..

peanut · 11-21-2007, 12:21 PM

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....

hha · 11-21-2007, 12:27 PM

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...

That your choice, and not hers, so we should try to support our fellow YT family, not try to make them feel worse.

Yet you've stated that dogs aren't humans or as important as people 3 or 4 times.

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?

Felina · 11-21-2007, 01:01 PM

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.

Lexi Rae · 11-21-2007, 01:07 PM

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..

MeganS · 11-21-2007, 01:21 PM

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.

kezza · 11-21-2007, 01:25 PM

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.

lidarose · 11-21-2007, 01:43 PM

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.
