To send my relative a Moonpig Xmas card of my children?

Relative who I otherwise get on very well with but does not want children and has little to no interest in other peoples. Thats fine, no one has to love my kids except me! However.......

I am not an animal person AT ALL. Not just dogs, but cats, rabbits, birds, gerbils....basically anything that isnt either human or an inanimate object! I just dont like them, and she knows this.

So, I dont send her random photos of my children doing cute things (dont send them to anyone else either, but thats not the point!), I dont post videos on her FB, I dont gush about them when I see her. She barely contains her boredom when anyone talks about their children. She isnt as bad as she sounds but it can be quite irritating especially as she does all of the above with her various animals. I dont bother normally, just delete and move on, she never expects a response.

So why the effing jeff does she send me a Xmas card with her fucking dogs on it complete with paw print "signature" then text me to ask if I got it and gush about how cute and gorgeous her "babies" are? I was rather sarcastic and then downright rude because she kept going on. I said "I dont send you photos of my kids as you dont like kids, why send me photos of your pets when I dont like pets?" She got a bit sniffy then, but ffs!

WIBU to send a Moonpig job with them all dressed up as sickeningly cute as I can?! I know she will laugh when she gets over her snit, we are ok in that respect!

Can you Photoshop the faces of your lovely children onto cute animal bodies?

:o I like it. And I think she would like it too. The point would be made rather well I think!

As I said, we do get on well and normally I can say "Oi! If we are not talking about my kids then we are not talking about your animals!" but this was a bit different as she has never done this before.

Actually, I might send one of them all dressed up as animals and renamed them in the signature as "Rex, Felix, Rover, Snowy, Deefer and Ceefer" :o
