[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG yes! I've posted before about my crazy aunt. She's the one who insists on bringing her teacup dog everywhere. For Thanksgiving, she wanted to not only bring the dog but bring along her dog gates and pee pads to build a play and pee area. She usually does this in the host's kitchen! I said no because its gross and I don't want her dog peeing, even on pee pads anywhere on my hardwood floors. She shows up with the dog and gates asking where to set them up. I said outside and she was horrified. DH and I stood firm and she had the balls to try to argue that it could go into one of the kids room. Yeah no. She only lives 10 minutes away. They took the dog home and came back when she finally realized we wouldn't budge and then made snitty comments about how other small dogs misbehaving ruin it for well behaved dogs like hers. Argh.

She came to dinner another time and asked if she could bring the dog but keep it in her carrier on her lap. We said fine and put our large dog into a separate room. (It never occurs to her that its an imposition for us to have to put our large dog away when she comes over because she insists on bringing he dog.) She waltzes in and I kid you not puts the dog in the dog carrier up on the counter in the kitchen where I am prepping food. Later in the evening when DH put out large dog on a leash to take him for a walk she blocked his exit and was taunting our big dog with her little dog by opening up the carrier window and putting it next to my dogs face. She kept doing this even though we told her to stop it. She said that she thought that our dog would be fine and was of course angling to find more ways to give her dog free access to our home in the future. She is a fool as our dog is high strung, energetic, dog reactive to small dogs and weighs 20 times more than her teacup dog the size of a baby bunny. DH and I both said no again an she just giggled saying "oooh I'm such a little instigator" in this baby voice. I should have just let my big dog eat her little dog but the kids would have been horrified.

She has a fake emotional support animal letter so she can take her dog on all trips without an extra charge. Yes, she is one of those selfish a-holes that will end up making it more difficult in the long run for people who legitimately are under the care of a mental health expert and have a legitimate ESA.

OP - stand firm and just say no. Some dog owners are the worst. [/quote]

Where did the crazy gene come from? [/quote]
