I thought the exact same thing.. And yes, the dog is definitely being abused already. I just worry that reporting her would cause a rift in your family and also, what would be keeping her from getting another dog if this one is then taken away or whatever?

She definitely sounds like someone who shouldn't have pets. I agree with you there. Her slaves - I mean pets - are lucky that she has someone like you willing to help them out (with crates, etc) and care about them more than their owner seems to.
