I think I hurt my moms feelings
 So in the end they are not coming over. My brother is in his 40's single, no kids, no animals, and not a people person so I know it is hard for him because he comes over a wham he gets it all. We go visit over there when he comes and he goes into another room for the evening I said something about that too. Birthday dinner for him tomorrow I wonder if he will eat the cake in his room or the dinning room  And for me to take the pup over there is another story. |

| Ah well, familes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What can you do!!! |
| Ain't it the truth?? |
Good for you for sticking up for your pup, and your household rules!  I'm sorry your Mom was upset, but nothing you asked was unreasonable. |

I'm sorry your Mom was upset, but nothing you asked was unreasonable.Ditto, I agree! |
| Sounds like you did the right thing! |
| Got to love the family dynamics... |
you all made me feel better about this thank you  |
| Families drive me mad, but if you are in my house, its my rules, my dogs live here, you don't like it, too bad. I would so say something if anyone pushed my dogs. So good for you. I never understand why people don't say anything if someone has upset them, there's always a nice way to say things - want me to come over lol |
| I know what you are feeling.
Me and my husband have always been an animal lover and my brother and his wife are not.... But when he comes to my house, he has never touched my dogs. Like you, I always put them in the bedroom when they visit, but if it is an all day affair, there are times when they just have to go out. When they do, they always greet all the company before running out--- my brother, pets them and talks to them (mostly for my benefit  ). Then, most of the time, they become part of the party since they are so well behaved, they just sit on their tuffet and watch all the activities (of course that was B.H (before Heart  )........ Families...........
I think you did the right thing. Don't feel bad. I'm sure your mom understands especially if she has dogs. |
| You did the right thing. What's that old saying? You can pick your friends but you can't pick your relatives. If we could, 90% of my family wouldn't be related to me!! |
| Again thank you after I posted I thought hmmmm maybe should not have done that. Glad I did. |
| Just because you share a strand of DNA, doesn't mean you have to like your family all the time. |
| I think you did the right thing although it doesn't take away the frustration one feels with family members. Besides they are your FurKIDS and they're part of you. :O)

| Don't feel guilty. Your brother is the one with the social issues. It's your house, your dogs, you have to protect them.
Yeah, I love my family......especially when we are separated by 450 miles. |
