The only time I post in here is about my mother.
I'm taking her on holiday for a week. We were going to put the dog in a kennel but when visiting the vet today, she advised us that because of his issues with other dogs, it would traumatise him. She advised a dog behaviouralist and a house sitter to look after the dog.
My mother has thrown a strop and is now refusing to go on holiday unless we send the dog to a kennel.
Am I being unreasonable thinking that she is not a nice person to resort to this emotional blackmail? It's either her way or no way. The only reason I'm taking her away is to visit where my sister's ashes were scattered as she has not been and she is getting older I was concerned that she would never be able to go and pay her respects.
I'm tired of living this way; she lives here in my home and I'm the one that feels like a stranger. He's my dog. Up to me who comes and stays here and what happens to the poor mutt, surely? I'm thinking of him; she's thinking of herself.
Sorry, needed to vent!
