[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get the dog to a boarding situation. Call the ILs and tell them that Fluffy's destructive behavior is over the top, and she is no longer welcome in your home.

No kidding.  That's what I told DH - but he feels guilty telling them no, because everyone else has refused to take him.  I told him it's for good reason and they are smarter than he is! He's boxed us into being the suckers and this is the last time.[/quote]

OP why aren't they flying with their dog? My parents are snow birds too but they would never leave their dogs somewhere for months. They would miss them too much. [/quote]

They drove.  And chose a place that won't accept pets.  They don't own - they are renting.[/quote]

You can drive and take a small dog along with you.  And you can choose pet friendly vacation rentals, especially when you have a small dog.  Of course, this particular dog is a destructive nuisance so of course your in laws chose non pet friendly accommodations.  Of course they did.

If this is the 6th time in a year that you have watched this dog and you are doing it for 6 week stretches, I've got news for you.  This is your dog now and it is your responsibility.  You can take it to the vet and see if the dog has OCD or some other medical issue that is making it such a handful.  You shouldn't have to cage, blindfold and muzzle the dog to get some peace.  Maybe the dog needs to be on meds?  Ask the vet.[/quote]
