| Rough Day in dog land. We went up to my parents yesterday. Got there about 5pm, got the pups settled into an xpen and went to the fair with my sister and her bf. Were out until after midnight and had lots of fun. came home the parents were fine dogs had been good ext. so this morning we got up with the pups did our routines, things were fine and dandy. fed em' started making food for the family dinner today, about 10am after breakfast was long since overwith, Bentley got sick and threw up his food. luckily i heard the alerting noise and got him to the kitchen before he spewed. sanitized and bleached it up and it was fine. thought nothing of it, simply upset from a trip or something. we went to dinner at the auntie's and had fun, i got to ride a harley which was so relaxing. got home and one had peed on the tiled floor back porch where their x pen sits, and as i'm cleaning up i noticed some sticky vomit like stuff in with it. prob. had a little spit up with some mucous (it's allergy/ragweed season here). he's been sneezing all week and having loads of allergy related stuff so maybe a little upset stomach over the whole drainage of allergies....no biggie. we were all tired so as a family dh and me and hte pups went upstairs to my room and slept for a few hours. we woke up later and went down to see my rents and let the dogs out. as we're getting leashes ready dh runs Bentley out the door. he throws up yellow bile all over the doorway, dh's shoes, and SADIE!! lol no big deal again for me i'm so used to this and it made it mostly outside. cleaned it up and was deciding about going to see my granny. well.....shiz hit the fan!! my mom had been having a grouchy week all week and when we got there made comment about us dumpin the dogs on her while we went out. and she was just plain different this week, so after a few vom. episodes she finally said how disgusted she was that if she'd wanted vomit all over her floors she'd have had dogs herself...so we called the vet and got the usual just rest his stomach and if he gets worse come in. we were 2 hours from the nearest vet!!! anyways. mom made me feel terrible and i finally just asked her if she wanted us to leave. i thought maybe they'd so no it's ok it's not ur fault he's ill, but no they actually said well u should prob. just take him home to care for him there....!!?!?!?!?! my parents pretty well told us to get out because my mom can't handle a little upset doggie stomach. i always got him to a tiled floor never on carpet and since we got home tonight and all the way home he never threw up again. we even went to my grannys to let my parents cool off a bit before going back and packing up our stuff. mom basically said i want to see you and just NOT the dogs...i was like too bad, these are my babies where i go they go. i'm not paying 200 for the weekend for them to stay in a kennel alone!!!! they aren't hurting a thing and everything can be cleaned easily. i'm so hurt and upset about this whole thing. i understand not liking dogs but practically throwing out your daughter because of them is silly. luckily dh and i are happy at home with our pups and Bentley is resting and fine so far!! you find out who your friends are!! and sometimes it's not family members. |

| I'm sorry you had to go through that, and that your little guy wasn't feeling well. I hope he's feeling better now!! I have a hard time with Roxie and my parents as well. When we visit their house, my dad insists the dog either stay outside or downstairs in the basement in her pen. He doesn't want her anywhere near food or furniture. We actually don't bring her over there too much, unless it's a nice day and we can stay outside (like yesterday).

| There are just some people who are not dog "people" although for the life of me I don't understand how you can't be! Hope your little guy feels better soon..........

| I'm so sorry that happened. Hopefully your parents will cool down a little and realize that it was no big deal.

| Oh I'm sorry. It sounds to me like your mom was not so much upset with the dogs being there as she was with you NOT being there. maybe she was just having a bad dday. I hope it all works out and no one stays upset for long. |

| Aw, I'm sorry. That sucks. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have supportive parents. My dad and stepmom LOVE Jackson to pieces. My dad calls him his granddog, and spoils him like crazy. He allows him to jump on his bed, his furniture, bed for food, LOL. However, I usually don't go over there and just leave him there.... it sounds to me your mom was more irritated with the fact that you left them there alot? I dunno, maybe not. I know you've mentioned before they just don't really like dogs period. My dad will watch Jackson for me if I have to go away for the whole day, or a few nights, etc. I sometimes feel guilty though because I know it's a lot more difficult to watch 3 dogs. I try to never come over there and just leave Jackson there for 8 hours, because it's not fair to Jackson or my dad. Bentley was probably sick out of nervousness? Has he ever been to your parents house? I know if I took Jackson to a place he had only been once or twice, and then just left him there for 7 hours, he would be really upset and nervous. But I'm so sorry you have to deal with parents like that, I can't even imagine mine acting like that.

| Sorry, vote for mom From your story sounds like you do this all the time. Drop dogs off and go have fun. Sick or not sick has nothing to do with it. Did you ask your Mom first if it was OK to drop dogs and leave. I babysit my daughters dog, but she calls, asks if it would be OK (shows a Little respect). Part of dog ownership is also being able to afford to kennel your dogs when necessary. Shame on you for expecting your Mom to put up with your bad behavior!

| My dad's family is like this. They want nothing to do with our dog, and heck they even give us crap about our kids making a mess. They have this fancy big beach house at the beach and always want us to come. Last year we got a pet sitter for our dog we had then and headed that way. Low and behold, there best friends were there with their dog. It made me so angry and hurt. So, after voicing a few opinions we made the choice not to go anymore. I can tell it is hurting them with us not there, but I cannot fathom them choosing their friends over family. It just goes to show you! **Just had to add. I am not bitter about it. They still see all of us quite a bit, we just do not vacation at their house!**

actually it's quite the contrary. i see them maybe once a month if that! and when i go up there i nearly almost always stay home the entire time and have the dogs outside all day if the weather permits. this is the first time i've ever left them with my parents. i've left them there in the pen when we all go out to dinner together but never left them with the parents until this time and we did ask them several times all week in prep. for this trip if they were ok with that. | |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I'm glad Bentley is feeling better. Sorry your mom gave you a hard time, parents can be like that sometimes. Maybe something else was bothering her and you were just an easy (and forgiving) target.

to be honest i think she might be going through the change. she's been snappy to a lot of people she loves lately and letting things bother her that won't normally. she's late 40's now and i think that's what is coming. we could be in for a long haul because she's hormonal normally once a month and this "Change" might take several years...please pray for us all to try and get through it together and come out loving each other!! UPDATE ON BENTLEY: He had x-rays today because she felt something unusal in his stomach area. Might just be that he's super backed up and you could see his full intestines on the films. We are going to wait for a BM and give pumpkin with dinner tonight to help him pass. Hopefully whatever was there is just poo and not an actual obstruction. we'll just have to wait and see. so far no more vomit from either of them. they are playing outside and full of normal vigor...we just need to figure out what food to switch to after this round of bland diet and then stop our raw feeing since it's such a pain to maintain. we keep giving the kids bacterial GI problems because we can't travel well with the raw food without it spoiling....so it's out!! see my thread about it in the heath and diet sec. | |

| sorry still vote with Mom OK, maybe I did not have all facts, but I think it is important to be considerate of other peoples feelings on this, not all people love our dogs all the time like we do! And they don't have to! and we should not impose our dogs on them. I know there was a period of time (about 5 years )when I was dogless. During this time, my niece would always want to bring her dogs, when she came to visit from out of state and I was made to feel like a bad person if I said "no" to her bringing her dogs. I don't bring Jonah everywhere I go, I try to remember he is a dog "my dog" and most people just want to see me. On the other hand, when they visit my house they are required to put up with my dog. Well behaved little man that he is!
