Attention seeking sister on FB posting dead photos

My mum's little 16yr old dog died yesterday. Mum is rightly devastated. I was close to the dog and absolutely loved him, so did my DS. My DB (before he died), ended up becoming the substitute master and slept in his bed etc. After he died (and before tbh), he took to my DS (who didn't live there).

Even on Friday the dog perked up when DS came in, but lay asleep when Dsis was there.

Dsis has to take DM to the vets as DM is 81 and doesn't drive.

Yesterday DM put up posts about how upset she was, understandable. I posted nothing, even though I was upset too, as it's not my dog.

However, today my Dsis has posted a photo of the dog dead at the vets, saying how sad she was that she had to put down her "brother's dog." No mention of the fact that it was, in fact, my mum's dog, or that it is was, in fact, my mum who looked after him, fed him, walked him - lived with him.

She also put that she went on holiday with two dogs and came back with three - no! She had two dogs going there and back - mum and dad came back with a puppy, having gone there with no dogs.

Of course she's getting lots of sympathy, as if it's her dog, but I'm literally shaking with anger. She was never even nice to him and he was scared of her.

I've told DM (who has FB so would've seen anyway) and she's angry. I want to say something publicly, but so far I've only put that mum will be lost without him. Heck I used to take him for walks, Dsis has never even done that.

The post is so inappropriate, especially the photo of the dead dog.

She just sounds like your average attention seeking social media wanker

They make everything about themselves

People like this never change so you're better off just ignoring her

@Sugarsun She didn't love the dog, the dog was scared of her. How am I seeking attention? It's not my dog, so I haven't posted about it, I've posted on here, which has stopped me from going mental on FB, I'm talking anonymously about my feelings, not posting them on FB.

I can't see how you think it's valid for Dsis to post a photo of my mum's dog (the photo is of a dead dog - you know, after it has died) when it upset my mum seeing it. Then loving all the people who are offering their condolences to her (and she's lost nothing, she never walked him, she shouted at him, tried to kick him in the past - I walked him, I took him to my house, yet it's not my dog, so I've not posted anything).

@Icelandic9 You're right. When dad was lying in the hospital, dying of kidney failure, she was telling the nurses and doctors that her kidney function was worse than his...she's still alive and healthy!

It's a stupid Facebook post, it's for attention which is pretty sad really. Let it go and get on with your life. There are worse things happening in the world!

Posting a photo of a deceased pet's body is the ultimate in crass. Horrible thing to do.
