[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]19:20 is our resident nasty entitled granny. She posts on any thread that anything a MIL wants a MIL gets no matter how foolish, irresponsible, outrageous or ridiculous. It’s boomer time and boomers get whatever they want in her world. What a wonderful world when everyone sucks up to bad boomers. [/quote]

Nope. Wrong person.

My opinion has nothing to do with mothers-in-law. It's about reciprocation.

I'd be pretty irritated if all this time I trusted someone to bring their dog to my house only to be told "oh well no, I certainly don't trust YOU to bring your dog into MY precious house. " [/quote]

DP. The MIL isn't bringing a dog. MIL wants to bring a puppy. Why do you not get that distinction? Puppy = more excitable, less trained/untrained, more likely to get into everything, more attractive as an attention magnet for the MANY kids present. If you're such an animal lover, you should find this idea nuts--for the poor puppy.[/quote]

I have a puppy that has none of what you describe, A. B., there are a dozen kids in the house and it's weird to draw the line at the puppy. OP is just flexing.

I agree with the above, if OP is not going to reciprocate, her dog would not longer be welcome at my house. YOu can board him. MIL's compromises are reasonable.[/quote]
A. If you equate human children with puppies you have big issues 
B. OP has reciprocated, just not this time.[/quote]

I didn't "equate human children with puppies." LOL. Are you that dumb? I'm saying the mess/noise . . . all of the things OP s worried about with a puppy, are already there 10-fold with that many kids. She's making the stand with a puppy simply because she can.

And going forward, she should not expect to bring her dog to MIL's. She wouldn't be bringing it to mine, I can tell you that. You reciprocate both ways, or not at all. A large GSD, and i love large dogs, are challenging in the home, esp. if it's not your own. OP acts like she bring a toy poodle or something. Her MIL does her a BIG favor allowing that dog. And this is how she reciprocates? Um, no. [/quote]
I'm not trying to be dumb here and I admit I didn't read all the replies, but I would be terrified that a 6 month old mini Doxie would get badly injured in all that chaos. I wouldn't be at all worried about it destroying my house. It'll be smaller than a cat, even a small one, children are careless and adults are distracted. The OP's adult shepherd is large enough and old enough that it can withstand some rough play and since it is in its own home probably has areas to escape to when it needs a break. The puppy should be confined to MIL's room for its own safety.  Seriously, how is this even a question.[/quote]
