Small rant sorry got to get this out.

I am at my parents for two reason I fell In a hole and sprain and bruised up my ankle badly. 2nd reason we had our family Christmas Saturday just the parents and my sister and her family.
Well my dog always comes with me and while my parent don't like him being so big they got over it and he is a pretty good boy when we get here.

Well I have been here 3 days and Diesel for those that don't know is a 150LB 1 year old black great dane male dog. He had a bad accident in the room I sleep in.

He has been sick and his age does not help with the accidents. My Rant is about my mom she keep saying she so sick of him doing this and that. I keep telling her then just let me visit and let me go home. They have carpet in their house I have wood floors Its easier to clean.

My mom thinks I should put him down or get rid of him or something. I told her there is no way in HELL I would do something like that.

So we are all now mad at each other and all. I don't thing she has the right to dictate what I do with my poor old dog. Who aside from the accidents and off and on arthritis in his legs is a healthy dog with clear eyes and good appetite . He not in pain he is not laying down all the time nor is anything life threating to him.

If it was my dads two dogs she would say nothing.
She loves bring up the old argument that was settled years ago when I adopted him of he is too big. Why did you get a horse, You cant take care of yourself ect.

Now she also want to throw in I cant care for myself and my house is dirty and I sleep all the time.
NO she sleeps all the time when she at home. My house is not the ritz but its clean. When you have been away for almost 4 days don't start getting on to me I have not cleaned anything. I HAVE BEEN AWAY geez she really is getting on my nerves with this. Also some how this argument she started in on my weight. I am not a skinny thing and yes I could lose some weight but why does she have to do this everytime I come over. I am not kidding my dog house and weight is all she goes on and on about.

My dad normally just stays out of thing but he is mad at my dog and me about it. I am temped not to even come back for Christmas eve with my out of town family
 
Moms -.- they can be so annoying ;). I feel your pain!
Some people just love to nag about everything. There is 2 ways to handle it. One, you can try to talk about it why bring up old things all the time and how you feel about her talking to you like that. Or two you can ignore what she is saying and just say yeah yeah etc. And ofc there is one more way.. make a good fight about this.. but I do not recommend that :p.

And just btw I have always wondered why people have carpet floors... I have never understand their benefits...

Its not your fault or your dog's either that he's old and sick and is having an accident. I'm sorry she's nitpicking so much Ology, some people I think aren't happy unless they are unhappy. Don't let her ruin your holiday or your day period. My favorite response to relatives who harp on and on (as my patience only goes so far, you seem more patient then me) is

Ya wanna pick a fight? Fine. Then go argue with yourself...heh heh heh, you should see the look on their faces.
 
We need Santa to bring your mom some Christmas love and sympathy for poor pl' Diesel.

And if not, SOME COAL.
 
Oh, I'm sorry hon. That sucks that your parents are treating you that way. And poor little Diesel. Bob has accidents too and I don't have the heart to yell at him because he does it in his sleep it seems.

My family is all fighting right now too. Nobody is talking to anybody else so I have to have four separate Christmases because everyone wants to see me but no one wants to see each other. I'm about ready to just tell them all, look, if you can't tolerate each other for one day, then that's your problem not mine. Come see me when you figure things out. Ugh.

Anyway, that probably didn't help much, but I'm sorry you are having a hard time. Try not to take it personally and just look at is as they are being cranky. That's how I try to handle it when my family picks on me. It still hurts, but it keeps me from blowing up at them at least.

Good luck to you and Diesel!
 
I'm so sorry your Mom was such a butt. I understand if she's frustrated that Diesel had an accident in her home but she has no right to say you should get rid of him and even worse to put him down. He's your baby and as long as you take care of him she needs to butt out. Danes are so very sweet and gentle. They may be huge but usually they're so easy to work with. She should be glad you have a calm dog even if he is huge. I had a terrier who was super small but he destroyed the house. Just because a dog is big doesn't mean that it'll be a problem. I hope things settled down between you and your family and I hope Diesel is feeling better *big hugs*
 
I'm sorry Ology, it's not your little Diesel's fault. Some people need to understand that it's not that person's (or dog in this case) fault. Sometimes they need to take a chill pill and deal with it. Period. Sometimes they just need to calm down and just talk about it, no need to be mean or anything. I mean, people can be @$$£$ sometimes, but no need to be total &!+£¥€$ to another person. Maybe she will get the hint and leave you alone. Hope everything gets better for you, Ology
 
I remember when my little pug got sick and old and had one accident after another. I never minded. Dogs go thru that. Sorry you are not getting support and love. Sorry Diesel is having some issues. Small or large, our pets mean so much to us. Hugs
