MIL hurt my dog and I want to disown her

How about a lot of us question OP's characterization of "pushed the dog". That was her take. Maybe if I saw it, I would have characterized it as a nudge.
Given OP's flair for the dramatic, I take her version with a grain of salt. And if you have a such a sick animal, how did it get up on the couch anyway. And why didn't OP warn MIL that the dog liked that spot and would probably try to get in her spot? A whole lot of crazy going on.

It doesn't matter what you would have characterized it as. She witnessed the woman put hands on the dog, then the dog fell off the couch backwards and was limping. She did warn MIL not to touch the dog because it was recovering. But way to not even read the OP!

Also, if this is a new mom then everyone needs to cut her some damn slack. Newborns turn the household upside down not to mention the postpartum hormone swings.

I don't make a big deal of this but I can see why you'd allow the one and discourage the other (unwashed hands).

nasty grannie with cold sores must wash her hands. pup is free to give licks anytime.

With the same tongue the dog used to lick his ass and eat feces? No thanks...

oy. ok. we get it - you don't like dogs.

Actually, I like dogs quite a bit. I just don't humanize them or assign them qualities that don't exist

Even if a dog licks his ass and eats feces....still not a reason to hurt a pet. All MIL had to do is ask for OP to move the dog away. Not shove an already injured animal.

No one suggested it was. That was all you!

That C would never step inside my home again. I wouldn't allow her around my kids either, obviously a disturbed woman.

It's always fun when the shrill moms of only boys invade a thread. You can always, always tell. No MIL behavior is too horrible to inflict on a DIL!

+1 A dog on the couch is unsanitary. I also feel as many do about other people's kids. I love mine, I do not want to cuddle with yours. I also am very aware of how my dog behaves around other people. I wouldn't make a human uncomfortable to avoid inconveniencing a dog.

LOL That's the dog's home, sounds like that dog is far above the mil according to Darwin. I've known many animals that are above many humans that shouldn't be breathing our oxygen.

OP don't allow her back, DH can go visit her. The woman is obviously twisted and nasty. I would have sprayed the couch where she sat, the toilet fyi, and anywhere else she had been.

I don't like most kids and certain types of people, BUT I sure as hell don't shove them. You should never shove a animal, and especially in someone's home, lol. Yes that is malice...geese.

I ALWAYS empathize with women who have deal with awful in-laws in part because I hate mine. This is the very first time I've defended a MIL on this board. OP does not sound balanced right now. I do not have a son btw.

I'm not sure how you decide that her MIL is "less important." If the MIL came into the house and shot her dog, and OP got upset, would you conclude that she was less important? If not, then you agree that some behavior is unacceptable, even when it comes from someone who plays an important role in your life. I would say that MIL's behavior in this case rises to the level of being unacceptable.

Yes, and we can see why lol!

She made it clear about the dog's problems, yet the mil purposely pushed the dog. That's why OP was so shocked, I would be livid.

I'm thinking there has been other problems with the mil. I'm not a cat person but never in a million year would I do such a thing. Certainly not to someone's family pet.

What did the DH say? I would think he would have been angry too at mil.

Same here - only with a lot of people I've encountered. The dogs on the other hand often have better qualities.

Are you a troll?? OP didn't say the dog was more important than MIL. There is a reasonable expectation for guests to not hurt your pet. If they do, they aren't invited back.
