This will be a bit long, but I have to explain everything in order for you to appreciate this. Please make it to the end, the first part may upset you, but please understand that my father-in-law is mentally ill. He would never do what he says. I know it will be hard because it took me years, but please look past the gruff words and see the beauty of this.
My father-in-law is not all there upstairs to put it lightly. When I first met him, I hated him. I have come to realize that he isn't capable of thinking before he speaks. He doesn't even mean what he says. Words just come out because he's crazy. (Literally.)
This guy has never owned a dog in his life. Everytime I talk to him I hear about how my dogs are ugly mutts, put them to sleep, they are messy, dirty, stupid...He'll do me a favor and kill them for me, etc...
This will get your blood flowing, but he actually went as far as telling my grandmother-in-law that'd he'd take a shovel to Charlie's head for her when Charlie had cancer. (Don't worry, crazy or not, we gave him royal hell for that one. I thought my husband was going to take a shovel to his dad!)
Anyways, my father in law never comes over, but he's over quite a bit right now helping us remodel. I've started hearing things like "Those are purebred wolves, those aren't huskies!..." "...That lady lied to you, trust me, I know...those are wolves..." Over and over again, I eventually gave up and told him that he was so right...Dusty and Roxy must be wolves. lol.
Well, yesterday, Mike and I were at work, and Big Mike let himself in our house to work on it. I stopped by unexpected to check on him...He's not in the house. Where could he be?! In the back yard! The dogs had their front paws on his chest and they were kissing him! He was kissing them back! I was so amazed that I watched for like 10 minutes. He was wrestling with them, snuggling them, you name it!
Then he came in side and I pretended that I didn't see. He goes "You gotta get rid of those stupid wolves. They were jumping all over me." lol.
I called the grandma-in-law to tell her because she is still really inferior towards him since the whole Charlie incident. She said that he's been coming to her house saying "You gotta see Tonya and Mike's dogs! Tonya is so dumb, they think they're huskies, but they are wolves! They're beautiful! They aren't stupid like dogs."
BTW, he's always said that if he ever owned a dog, it'd be like Teddy. I hear over and over again "Hehe, Teddy's cool. ha" "Hehe, Teddy's cool." "Hehe, Teddy's cool." "Hehe, Teddy's cool." "Hehe, Teddy's cool." "Hehe, Teddy's cool." "Hehe, Teddy's cool."
