| Hi Carolyn: My parents own a large, aggressive dog with an extensive bite history. Including biting my kid, the only grandchild, unprovoked. The dog is so aggressive that he cannot be boarded and needs heavy sedation for normal vet visits. My parents have been told in no uncertain terms that their dog is not welcome to our city due to the bite history. Seems straightforward except now, after years of the dog ban, my folks think it is unfair that they cannot visit with the dog. My siblings are telling me I’m being unfair to my folks, but they have chosen the dog over me and my family. Any words of wisdom to tide me over when the next round of “You are being unfair” is lobbed my way? I know I am doing the right thing, but it is wearing on me. — Dog vs. Kid |
