[quote=Anonymous]Yes, say that "with everything we have going on with family and friends visiting, coming over to dog sit won't be possible."

And that's it!  It's their job to get a dog sitter.  You could give them a list that you google, but that would be all the help I'd give them.

then just keep repeating and DO NOT FEEL GUILTY when/if they sigh and say "well, I wish you would just care for puppy" with a whiny voice.  Pretend they are 4 years old: state your sentence and leave it at that. Repeat the same sentencee as necessary.  Do not feel guilty, this isn't your problem, your doing, etc.

And, yes, this is a tremendously self-involved family who has NO IDEA what bringing a puppy will do to their lives.  They know they have to take the puppy outside IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT for the first few weeks or months, espeically a large-breed dog?  They just can't go 8-12 hours without peeing at such a young age. Oh, this is gonna be fun. Unfortunately, you will end up doing most of the housebreaking/puppy training, OP Nanny, but at the very least you don't need to take care of this puppy for those 2 weeks.
