SNAKEBITE Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Found out the truth. The reason the wife wants to send the new dog back is the blooming sister in law She says she won't ever come round because of her precious little spoilt brats. One of them is afraid of dogs and rather than introduce her slowly to them and let her deal with it she is keeping her away from them. The fact that my wife looks after her kids is another reason, the sister in law wants the dog to go. She hasn't got anyone else to look after them I cannot believe it. Needless to say the atmosphere at home is now very frosty. Well ****** the sister in law!, all I can say is that if I am never in the same room as that silly moo ever again it will be a day too soon.

SNAKEBITE Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Personally I hink it is time the sister in law learned to live her own life. Found out that she is just about to leave her husband as well, so it's all rally round the poor cherub. The whole thing is a mess and I am not going to get dragged into it. As long as her kids don't suffer then I do't care what happens. It isn't their fault. Now I know why I prefer dogs to most humans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I know how you feel, when I got the lab half " her " family were moaning that little Timmy is allergic or precious Amber is afraid of dogs. Problem solved, its my house my rules and they dont come round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Thats really sad, I read your "Help" posts on the dog section and the things that were happening are all quite common and you were getting excellent advice on how to resolve them. To have to alter your life and wants, just to satisfy your SIL, seems so outrageous that I can't comprehend it. However, in the final anaylsis, your relationship with your wife is probably the most important thing. Thats all you need to remember.

You are right Cranfield but right now I am so blooming angry at the situation I am not saying anything because it will be the wrong thing. I am going to have an early night and bite my tongue.

Poacher Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Tell the SIL to sod off, your little girl looked so happy with the new arrival, what about her I'm sure that you SIL's kid could grow to overcome her fear with a little friendly interaction. Tread carefully man and good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 That's ****! Sorry to hear about it Snakey and I hope it's sorted out soon. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Is your sister in law good looking with big jubblies and a passion for topless sunbathing? If so, my advice is forgive and forget. If she's a moose tell her to **** right off. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Snakebite . I think you will like me easy solution to this dreadful dilemma , once the dog is house trained , get another pup ! But get this one from the dogs home , there are plenty to choose from . This pup's "naughtyness" will put your 1st dog in a good light ! But you can't take the pup back to the dogs home as he will be put down . An lets face it , nobody wants that to happen . OR , you could invite me to stay for a week , that'll put even that well know house guest "mr A Hitler" in a good light . Hope you find this usefull mon amie all the best yis yp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth Stalker Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 So your SIL's gonna go through life shielding her precious sprogs from every dog she comes across Seems to me that now would be an ideal time to introduce the little uns to a good natured dog, to over come there fear. A mate of mine came round for a BBQ recently and his little girl was terrified of dogs, it got to the point where she was screaming her head off every time they put her down, at the end of the day she was feeding my dog from her fingers, cuddling her all the time & actually cried when they were leaving, she wanted Becky to go home with them Obviously you've got to know the dogs fine & still never leave them with kids unattended. Hope you sort things out mate SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 You've got to do what you thinks best for you and your immediate family. Personally, I would have aired my feelings and put things into perspective. Sound to me like the SIL has been using and abusing her position. The fact that she feels she can get rid of the dog by threatening the relationship, is just wrong, vey wrong! If I were you I would be placing those size 11's firmly on the ground!

Graham M Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 My youngest lads little girls were frightened of everything until they started to visit me on a regular basis. They were frightened of dogs, dirt, long grass they were even scared to pick flowers in case there were insects on them. Then they met my daft dog and started to go for walks over the fields with us. Only took a couple of months and they were running through the grass and collecting bugs, snails (snail racing; I ask you ) and were even getting dirty. Makes me wonder who was actually frightened of these things….the kids or their mum. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurch Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I really can't be doing with kids that howl and scream at the sight of a dog. Parents fault of course. It's not unusual for tourists or incomers to be down at my regular dog walk at the sight of a bit of sunshine, bitching about the dogs (there every day rain or shine) and how precious Timmy is frightened of dogs - well don't bring the little spoilt ******* on a popular dog walking area! Oh, and get someone to pick the wife up and get rid of her instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na can't agree Cranfield...mans best friend and all that. BUT we'll no doubt find out who wears the trousers in that family! When my sis was young she was knocked down by a boisterous dog and it made her VERY scared of all dogs. Solution my (sensible) parents bought a dog and after a while no more problem. She's had a few since then (dogs that is) although she doesn't agree with me shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
