Haters

In particular....dog haters. I hate them. I am completely blown away how people can HATE and think a tiny 5 pound chihuahua is DISGUSTING! WTF!




Story behind this rant:




We went to a wedding last night with my husband's mother, his sister and his sister's husband. It turned into a brutal night of drama (as I should have expected considering his family is full of drama ALL of the time!) Most of it came from BIL, who may I remind you is the one who told me his wife was a fat cow when she was pregnant and I was lucky I wasn't the one who had to sleep with her! He's a total arrogant ass.




So, last weekend BIL and SIL went to Montreal and left there 2 month old baby as MIL's for the weekend. Since MIL owns a hair salon and Saturday is a super busy day hubs and I decided that to be nice we would offer to go there and babysit all day Saturday so she didn't have to cancel her clients. We proposed this idea weeks before they were leaving and everyone agreed, and we were really excited to spend time with our nephew!




Then comes last Friday night. MIL calls and tells us she isn't going to work anymore b/c all of her appts cancelled (ya right!), but of course still expects us to come for a visit. Fine. I'm annoyed b/c she always changes plans on us and now we are forced to drive and hour there at 8am and spend the WHOLE day (not fun in my opionion!). But whatever. We go. I joke that she doesn't trust us with the baby...not really taking it too seriously. So we spend the whole day with bossy MIL, handicapped cranky FIL and our nephew (and of course our puppy Cosmo...)




Fast forward to last night...SIL comes us to me and tells me that the reason that MIL didn't go to work is because she and BIL didn't trust that I would keep my dog off of their baby! Then BIL has a "talk" with my hubs. He tells my husband that he doesn't want our dog in the same house as his kid, and that hubby's parents and sister hate the dog and don't want him around but are scared to tell us. He said that he doesn't want Cosmo's (the dog) fur in the vicinity of his baby's breathing. And he asked why I thought it was ok to bring our dog to other people's houses. He pretty much expected my husband to agree with him and say that Cosmo will never be around again. But my husband made me proud. He told BIL that we would never let Cosmo maul his baby but if he doesn't want Cosmo around then he will likely see less of us. We work all week and on the weekends we are not going to leave Cosmo home alone whenever we go out of town for the entire day! (All of my inlaws live an hour away). I was so pissed off. He is so lame. I hate people that hate dogs (ok, not really ...but you get my point). And in our defence, we only bring our dog to our family's houses and if we ever want to bring him any where else we ALWAYS ask...but that rarely happens anyways. He doesn't understand that having a dog is a responsibility and we have adopted Cosmo into our family and I LOVE him with all of my heart! At the moment we have NO kids and Cosmo is our baby! I can't believe how much of a dick he is. So, who knows what will happen now. Obviously more drama will ensue...as per usual with BIL!


Anyways, if you made it this far and love dogs...tell me about your pups! I love them more than I love my in laws for sure!




Love you Cosmo! xoxo

  1. dont have a dog but I have a cat, rabbit and hamster and I am crazy animal lover. I get very mad when people make you feel crappy about your animals when they are a part of your family and love them so much.
    One time when SIL/BIL were looking after our kitty she tried to take him outside he got scared and scratched her...did not break the skin. She went to the hospital, yes, hospital. Pudding had to be quarintened for animals services for a week!!!!

  2. Cosmo is a DOLL! How could anyone hate such a sweet little thing?
    We don't have a dog at the moment, but hubs and I both love them so much and maybe once we have adjusted after our little one comes we will get one.
    I'm sorry for all the drama!!

  4. I hate haters!! I have two dogs and I have to admit, they are big, but they are the most gentle, best behaved dogs I know. At thanksgiving last year at our house a distant cousin walked right up to my husband and I and said "I don't like dogs. Not that I would hurt them, I just don't like them." WHAT?? Who says that?

  6. Awww he's so cute!! I've always wanted a Chihuahua puppy but hubby doesn't like them as much as Miniature Pinschers so we got a Min Pin instead. I LOVE my Min Pin!! And having fertility issues, I'm so glad to have him, he's like my baby!! I love taking him places - even if it's just to run around the corner to the Redbox!! I'm totally with you - I don't understand how people don't LOVE dogs!! They're just the best creatures ever - unquestioning, completely devoted, absolutely man's best friend!! I don't know what I would do without my (fur)baby!!

  7. He is so precious!! And yes we bring our dog with us to my parents. I sometimes run errands with my dog and we most definitely took her with us last week when we drove 9 hrs (!!!) to visit my in laws. Boo the haters! It would be one thing if you were bringing a huge dog around an infant, but a small 5 lb dog? Geez.

  8. I don't have any doggies right now but who could be so agains Cosmo with all that cuteness???? That's crazy! I'm glad DH stood up for you and Cosmo and hey! now you have a reason given to you by them not to see them more often heehee

  9. I can't believe that!! Especially feeling that way about adorable teeny tiny Cosmo! So glad your hubs stood up for your little baby, people just blow my mind sometimes.

    As for our pups, we have two giant yorkies Beau & Bella!! They are seriously our babies!! So many people say when you have a baby your dogs fall to the back burner, and I plan to never let this be the case. I will always love my pups and think of them as my first children!!!

  10. Dogs are the greatest thing ever. My little girls are my sweet babies (until baby bean gets here!) and I don't see how anyone couldn't respect the bond!

    Your little cosmo is adorable!

  11. Wow...that's just rude and honestly, stupid. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that and I'm really happy that DH stood up to him like that and told him what's what.

  12. Dogs are precious! And honestly, if they didn't know how your dog would react with a child, all they needed to do was ask instead of being rude about it. I'm proud of your DH for sticking up for you and Cosmo! Let this be another reason why you guys can't visit :P

  13. What a cute dog! And it's not like Cosmo is a freaking pit bull. Talk about overreacting. So cute!

  14. Whoa! Your ILs are crazy, particularly your BIL...why couldn't they have acted like an adult about the situation and talked to you guys about their concerns instead of being so childish about it?

    Glad your husband stuck of for the dog and for you. Once your baby comes along they can see they're being crazy overprotective. Perhaps they should socialize their child with dogs so that it doesn't grow up to be scared of them? Just a thought...

  15. Umm, your ILs make my blood boil reading abt them...hard to imagine how difficult they are to be around in real life!

    Cosmo always melts me. :) xo
