[quote=Anonymous]Good lord, there are some serious nasty trolls on this thread! It's never ok to push someone else's dog off the couch, injured or not. Why do people have so much trouble with this concept? You don't think dogs should be on the furniture? Don't let your own dog on your furniture! OP's house and things are not yours to do with as you please.

Sounds like your MIL is having some boundary issues. Was she staying with you to help with the baby? Maybe you've been sniping at each other and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. You'll probably have to just let it blow over, i.e. don't reach out to her and then see how you feel the next time you cross paths. Let your DH deal with her if she reaches out. MILs (or anyone) who aren't helpful during the newborn phase don't need to be in your life right now honestly. Just concentrate on the baby and the dog.

And FWIW, if she was there to help with the newborn then she's not a guest. But some family members really don't get that and think they are there to be catered to when the new parents completely overwhelmed.[/quote]
