In February of 2002 my wife (then GF) and I got our first dog, a black pug. In Nov of 2006 we got our second pug just after we got married. In 2009 we had our first son, and just this past March 25 we had our second son.
A week after bringing our second son home we decided to get rid of our dogs, it just became too much for us to care for them. We went with the Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue since they cater to pugs and understand the breed. The following week a volunteer from the MAPR picked up the dogs and they were in a much better place as they await placement (garanteed not to be put down).
Enter the mother-in-law and her husband who decide they want to get the dogs. First off, if I wanted them to have the dogs we would have asked them; we didn't ask them. They tell my wife and don't even approach me about the subject. My wife tells me and I say absolutely not, talk them out of it, I don't want them having the dogs - reason being among many is they were our dogs and I feel a sense of responsibility towards them, I wanted our family to move on from the dogs not keep the dogs around at a house less than a mile from us and they also watch our son during the week.
The completely ignored my feelings toward the issue and got the dogs anyway.
I feel my wife let me down, if the roles we're reversed I would have said and done anything to get them to not take the dogs if it meant that much to her. I feel betrayed by my mother-in-law and here husband who completely disregarded my feelings on the matter and did what they wanted to do.
I'm pissed at everyone and no one seems to care - had to vent.
