DH and DS (Just turned 2) have gone about 250miles away to stay with PIL for 2 nights. First time in a year. I am home with a tiny DD.
For back ground PIL lost there beloved dog last spring and we lost a wonderful dog just before Christmas. She was DS's best friend and we all miss her.
Anyway I just spoke to DH and PILs are bringing home a rescue dog today! I mean WTAF!!! They haven't had a dog in a year and they decide the first day of a 2 day break with there 2 year old screechy, excitable, into everything DGS is the best time to bring an unknown dog into the house.
Presumably the dog has been given to them as it needs a quiet couple like home. How scary and shit for it to have a toddler in the house for the first 48 hours! It will make it so anxious.
I'm not too worried about the dog biting my toddler as DH will keep them apart but thats not relaxing is it and will be upsetting for DS who will cry and upset the poor animal. Having said that its tough to watch children constantly and its a risk i'd rather not take.
DH reckons he can cope and won't ask them to pick the dog up on Monday but how stupid. Why couldn't it have waited?!?!
Its just so thoughtless for all concerned. I've told DH that if the animal is too nervous or there is any upset to come home. FFS. Thanks for the rant.....
