[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who thinks its normal to beg family to get groceries for you becuase you can't leave your dog really need a reality check.

What the sister is doing is NOT healthy or normal. Missing a few family things? Sure. Bailing to have some alone time at home with the dog. Great. 
But, to refuse to ever leave it alone. Following it around all of the time and refusing to go to Target for 30 minutes because of over a year old dog whose temperament is great and is house broken? Totally not normal.

OP, i doubt this is a mental health issue, but i read it as more you are concerned she is not trully happy and the dog is causing her anxiety/mental health stress. 
I wouldn't bring it up directly, but if she calls asking you to go to Whole Foods for her,  I certainly wouldn't do it.

What does her DH think of this?[/quote]

Sister/OP is, guaranteed, 100% exaggerating the situation. I'd be the farm on it. Of course, we'll never know and she'd never admit it in any event. [/quote]

Yes, because there have never been people obsessed with their pets.  :roll: [/quote]

So clever with an eye roll. "Obsessed" is in the eye of the beholder. Again, different priorities.

I don't see much wrong with anything OP describes. But, the one or two things she does say that made me cringe a bit - I absolutely believe she is exaggerating. And I think it's gross some of you are equating sister's actions with "mental illness." Grow up.[/quote]
