Oh my. We'll definitely be saying some prayers for you. Let us know how it goes, okay?

What is wrong with those people? They don't like furkids? That's just not natural. Maybe Kirby, Hoover and Lola should dig up the baby squirrel and put it under their pillow...

Don't tell Mom I said that.

Most of my family likes animals or at least tolerates them, but I have some friends who don't understand my love for my dogs. I had one friend scoff at me and tell me that she was talking about her "human" son, kind of implying that my dogs were less important than her son. Oh well, I guess if I had kids I might feel differently. Oh, and if the guy I am dating doesn't like my dogs, that's pretty much a deal breaker.

You're so nice to tolerate them, Debbie. I hate feeling tense in my own home. It's hard with in-laws because it's not your own family. You can just tell your own family to get over it or leave! ;) I will definitely be thinking of you this weekend and praying for you!

I'll pray for your sanity and patience this weekend.

We'll definitely be thinking of you guys as you're trapped in your home with the outlaws. Deep breaths, deep breaths.

Um, could you at least leave some of the furkids with the password to the laptop so they can send out a SDF signal if needed? Tell Lolli to TXT me, k?

Don't worry. I'll send out the signal if it comes to that. I do know the passwords to the puters so I'll make sure to be on and let you all know how things are going..

Oh, they'd Reeeallllyyy not like me. I LOVE company - lots of new people who don't know my ball playing rules. My Mom always tells people: this is my house and these are my dogs. They live here too. If you can't accept that, then you might want to reconsider your visit. And she HONESTLY does not go out of her way to make her dogs disappear due to company. I guess that I am cut from the same cloth. If Ojo is being a pain with the ball, I'll correct her but I won't make her "disappear". Good luck to you & all your furkids. Maybe it'll be nice enough for them to all go outside for a break.

Well, they must not HATE them otherwise they'd make excuses as to why they have to get a hotel room when they visit....they just don't understand the love that pets will give them, so they're missing out on all the benefits of furkids! Tell Hoovie and Kirby and Lola that Charlie would LOVE some company, since mommy is too busy with home improvement projects to play....poor guy had to jump on mommy while she was trying to sleep and she still just gave him a chew to distract him....

Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't you all come over to my house and play? Maybe we can knock Penny into shape.

I'll see that and raise you 3 foster siblings. Take them all -please!

I completely understand. My EX-MiL used to insist that she stay with us. She knew it was not convenient, she was terrified of the cat, and she wouldn't stay in a hotel even if we offered to pay. The cat knew she was scared, and seemed to do everything he could to make her life as miserable as possible. Even her son snickered, and let the cat do his thing. We just decided to let it go since she kept coming.

Well, Debbie, I do hope that everything goes ok for you. Hang in there. We'll be thinking of you and hoping for the best!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry times with the outlaws are stressful for you. I used to get SO uptight if my mother or mother-in-law were coming over, because I'm not exactly the world's best housekeeper. And then there were all the animals. They always seemed to wear black pants, of course. I finally just decided to let whatever happened happen. If they didn't like my animals, they didn't have to come over. At least they lived in town and weren't planning to spend the night, but I have a friend who doesn't even invite her relatives to stay with them, just makes reservations at a nice hotel. It was really worth it to her not to stress about it. We'll be thinking about you and sending positive thoughts your way.

The funny part is, that no matter how positive I am that I got all of the poop out of the back yard, one of them usually steps in one!! NEVER FAILS! We're out in that yard all of the time and never step in anything!! They come, and in 20 min, they'll find it!! HAHA!

Sounds like Instant Karma if you ask me!
