Sounds like a Debbie Downer. “Hopefully somewhere in there you’re also happy for us.”

Just the latest example of how she makes everything about her: we are looking to adopt a puppy. We found out we can move to the next step in the adoption process and are excited. It would be a lab puppy. Her response? “Oh you know I don’t like those big dogs. (BIL) has those two goldens and I hate it. Well, if I don’t like your dog, I just won’t visit.”
I wanted to just say, “great, then don’t visit!”
Maybe I should have said that.
You have a very low threshold for 'driving someone insane' She is just making conversation. You are making a mountain out of a molehill
I could go ahead and list easily two dozen more examples. She has an incredible ability to make everything into a pity party about her.
Yeah my MIL yammers on all the time and makes dumb comments but now I just ignore here and say oh yeah a lot.

Just play along. "Oh of COURSE you'll love OUR dog though! Labs are always so friendly and sweet with people. It's going to be such a good way for us to get out walking and playing more. We're excited!"
She's totally gonna hate your dog - and you'll love that!!
