[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be careful. I've found with family and dogs, it's tit for tat - if I can't bring my dog to your house, then you can't bring your dog to my house. You have a history of everyone bringing their dogs when they visit each other. Are you ok with boarding your dog in future when you visit them? The ILs probably think they are doing you a favor, even though there are things in it for them, so this request might not go over well.

That said, if the dog is going to be loud and aggravate your dog (who is going through changes with a new baby at home) or stress you over the top, you are within your rights to ask that it get boarded. It's ok to state your concerns that you appreciate their help and you love the dog and normally you'd be fine with it coming, but 2 weeks of visiting might be too much for your dog and you, given that this will be an unusually stressful time for your family and everyone needs to acclimate to a new normal.

Dog owners are so annoying. BOARD YOUR DAMN DOGS. [/quote]
