My mother in law just moved out here from Missouri. She has a diabetic dog and her "choices" were to either put him to sleep or have us take him. She was afraid that anyone else who took him would not give him his shots.
We're in the middle of selling her house. She knows darn well that every single time that we show out house we're having to board our dogs. (Our dogs would bark and growl the whole time otherwise.) She knows darn well that we already have plenty of pets and a baby on the way. She knows darn well that none of my dogs can be near Speedy because they'd be to rough with Speedy. She knows darn well that this house is going to be sold before we move into our new house, so we are going to have to stay with someone temporarily or rent a place.
Yet, she knows I am an animal lover and guilted me into taking him because I'd never let an animal be put to sleep just because.
It just irks the hell out of me that she is such an irresponsible woman. My husband has bailed her out of so many things. When my husband was only 18, she guilted him into giving her his savings ($3,000) so that she could move back to Missouri. And now she's guilting us again so she can come back here.
We are just as inconvenienced having Speedy here as she would be to hide him at her new place. In my opinion, it's her pet and her problem. If she wanted to move out to California, she should have been prepared to do whatever she could to keep Speedy. Even if that means sneaking him into her new place.
Ok, I feel a little better now. Thanks for listening.
