Okay, So My Fiance And I Have Had To Move Back In With His Parents, Yeah I Know That Is Kinda Weird But, We Have Two Yorkies, Fred (2) And Frankie (1)! They Are My Life, But Since We Have Moved Out There We Haven't Got To Be Around Them As Much As We Used To. Can They Disown Us?, Persay!? I Mean Because I Cant Get Them To Sleep With Us Anymore Or Even Lay On The Couch With Us, They Only Get Excited When His Parents Come Home And They Only Get Sad And Wine When They Leave, It Is Like They Dont Even Care About Us Anymore..can That Happen? Do They Think That His Parents Are Their New Mom And Dad? I Need Help Because This Is Honestly Worring Me Sick! I Think About It All The Time!

I would make sure you spend time with them, just you and them, every day. Even just a walk when you get home, no matter how late or tired you are, is a way to get reacquainted with them. Schedule it on your calendar if you must. Are you the one who feeds them?

Hey, yes i am the one who feeds them, i water them! that is one of my main things with them, i make sure they always have food and water in their bowl, but my boyfriends dad feeds them everything he eats. for example he eats eggs for breakfast every morning, and well so do my dogs, they eat eggs and toast, if he eats a sandwich for lunch so do they. and i have asked him over and over to not feed them human food but he just wont listen, i believe that is one of the reasons why they like him so much. but i am just worried!

I am sorry I don't understand what you are worried about. Are you planning on moving out of your in-law's house and taking the dogs with you and you are not sure how they will adjust?

we are planning on moving out, and i am worried that they wont adjust back to us, after the move.

That is what I thought, but I wasn't sure.

Dogs are actually quite adaptable. As long as you treat them kindly and make sure they get the proper food, excersize and attention/affection, I think you will find that they will adjust quite well to your new home. They know you and are already comfortable with you, so although any change in environment may take a while to adjust to, I think your move will be a fairly easy one for the pups. Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Tell him that, by feeding them so much "people" food, he is endangering their long-term health, and risking them coming down with pancreatitis if their diets are too fatty. Do you exercise the dogs by yourself each day? And I would not worry about the dogs adjusting if you ever move out - dogs are pretty flexible. I'd worry about your in-laws adjusting to the dogs being gone!

I do not exercise them every day, well i mean i do, where we live now it is out in the woods. literally, and they have all the free roaming time they want. they are outside for most part of the day, at least 70 percent of the day, unless it is raining. but yes i do let them out, and i do play with them outside. but they just act so much differently toward me since i am not able to be around them as often. i have given examples already, but another one, Frankie he is pretty much my dog and Fred well he is my boyfriends. and before we moved in with this parents Frankie went everywhere i did, i mean he would freak out if i wouldn't let him into the bathroom with me, and now he does that toward my boyfriends mom. and it just makes me wonder if he really will adjust when we move? are there any more tips you can give me to let me know how i can help them?

oh yeah, is it bad that i get soo upset when his dad, leaves them outside unattended? because right after we moved there frankie got abducted and i almost lost it, because you know these guys are like my children. and they run off all the time, but his parents think nothing of it, they say " they are dogs, and dogs will be dogs!" but they dont understand that they aren't just any dog, they are inside dogs and not mean to roam the woods hunting. you know? uhg!
