    Font - I have a 3 year old Pomeranian. She's up to date on all shots. Spayed. Monthly groomed. Well loved and my fur baby. I'm currently almost 30 weeks pregnant (high risk pregnancy due to previous losses and stillborns) so I am being told to take it easy as possible. So my husband has taken over most dog duties for now (walking and such)

    "I have a 3 year old Pomeranian. She's up to date on all shots. Spayed. Monthly groomed. Well loved and my fur baby."

    This dog is clearly sufficiently loved and well cared for right where she is! There are plenty of other doggos out there in need of a home, why not adopt one of them?

    Font - Now SIL recently lost her dog of 16years and is wanting a new dog. She asked to doggysit our Pomeranian for the night which my husband jumped at the opportunity (she has a habit of waking up at 3am for a walk. So he was happy to get a full night's sleep) SIL had the dog no less than 5 hours. Spamming us with photos how well she was "adapting" to her house. And asked if she could buy our %3D dog from us.

    "SIL had the dog no less than 5 hours. Spamming us with photos how well she was "adapting" to her house. And asked if she could buy our dog from us."

    Oh no she didn't. That escalated quickly. This SIL is clearly hurting and processing the loss of her dog, but we can think of much healthier ways for her to cope with this loss rather than trying to buy her brother and SIL's well-loved, happy doggo.

    Font - My husband immediately said no. He said "I know I joke about saying I hate her. But it's just I hate walking in the snow every few hours. I dislike the chore. My wife and I love the dog. She's amazing and so well behaved and loving" Which is true. She has endless paitence with our son. She's extremely friendly and lovable. She's well trained. She just REALLY likes going out in the snow right now.

    Font - My SIL is distraught saying she needs the dog more than we do. We have a baby on the way and will be too busy for the dog. And that she's willing to "pay 2,000 for the dog and let us visit whenever we want too" We've firmly said no. This dog was a gift from my husband after I had a one of my miscarriages. She's very special to me. She's also good at detecting when I have anxiety and snuggling up to me during these times.

    "My SIL is distraught saying she needs the dog more than we do. We have a baby on the way and will be too busy for the dog."

    And what gives her the authority to decide that she needs the dog more than OP? We are dying to know.

    Organism - Am I being an asshole here ? My SIL can't have kids. Dogs are her life. But I absolutely love my dog and I don't want to part with her. But SIL is making me feel really guilty about having "kids and a dog" %3D She also reminded me I also have pet sugar gliders and that "kids and sugar gliders should be enough"

    Font - We got our fur baby back. There was a little push and shove needed. She kept coming up with excuses (dog was sleeping. Oh she'l bring her in an hour ect) Our dog IS microchipped and is registered with the town. SIL asked to doggysit "every weekend" but we declined.

    Font - mouse_attack · 17 hr. ago Right? This isn't, like, a one-dog universe. SIL has options a-plenty. ΝΤΑ

    Head - pizzasauce85 · 16 hr. ago I also think SiL is wanting the dog to “punish" op for being pregnant. Like OP can't have/doesn't deserve both a baby and a dog.
