I think we should give Pinots Mom more credit here and have faith in her, i am sure she will do her best to change their minds, you can only do so much, people have different ideas, some would consider our love and care towards our pets extreme and nutty even,unfortunately not everyone feels as we all do,and what Pinots mom expressed about their feelings is more common than not.

Let us just keep hoping she can change their minds, I know she will do her very best, good luck, as i am sure you are going to need it, and bless you for trying.
