My father in law is in the hospital. A week earlier than predicted. Of course, he did nothing about his dog situation and now we have been saddled with his burden. I'm trying everything I can do, short of turning the dog over to a shelter, to get the dog out of my house. The promise of "only a few days" has turned into well past a week and is now looking like months. (Yes....MONTHS!)
I'm a rotten miserable wreck!
That having been said, I need to take an extended leave. I need to deal with issues at home because this is really starting to cause a rift between my husband and I. The horrible thing is that it shouldn't. But, yet again my FIL puts his misery on others.......no wonder my MIL divorced him!
I hope to be back soon...........with one less English Bulldog in my house!

Praying for you as you deal with difficult family situations. Praying you and your husband can be a united front in dealing with your FIL. Praying the guest dog will find a loving home! Will look forward to your return...
I hope you find a place for the dog Jennifer. You and your husband will be in my thoughts...it's always so hard to deal with issues involving family members...good luck!
I can relate with you on some levels, my August is a terrible month for us. In August 2010 my father in law had a storke, they found a tumor on his brain, it was removed, he was making good progress then slipped backwards, they did another MRI and they found another tumor on the stem. Nothing could be done, he passed away 3 weeks later. My mother in law now lives with us, she is in a wheelchair, is the most negative person I have been around and it causes alot of tension between me and my husband. NO help from family members so we do it alone. It is hard but God has a plan and a purpose in this, just don't know what it is right now. Don't give up, while some days seem more difficult than others you can make it. God Bless
I will keep you in my thoughts wishing you a more sane month with September.
you are in my thoughts dear
i hope this new moon brings lots of happiness for you.. ..hugs xx
Oh Jennifer, I will miss you while gone from blogworld - thinking of you and your hubby - it is so tough and difficult dealing with family members and the stress it creates. You will be in my prayers for that and just pure sanity and all you wish for! If I were in closer proximity I would give you this:
(((((((Hugs)))))))
Email if you need to let off steam!
Will miss you Jennifer...Praying for some resolutions for you and your family. Try to hang in there, I know this is so tough for you and your husband. Don't let your FIL come between you two. This could be a time to make your marriage stronger. Hugs...
So sorry for your troubles.
It is strange how some people cope with life's difficulties positively and some deal negatively.
My husband has Chron's disease and has had a colostomy in the past, also at the end of last year he had ocular cancer and lost an eye but he has always been positive and has faced these difficulties head on and got on with life - thank goodness, otherwise he might have been divorced. I am so sorry you have got saddled with such a negative person.
Good Luck with everything Jennifer. I hope everything works out for you. Just remember: this too shall pass.
Jen
Sorry to read of all that is going on. Hugs to you!! I hope it all works out in the end!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Have said a prayer for both you and your hubby to help you deal with the situation. I'm so sorry you're saddled with a discipline problem. Have you searched no kill shelters in your area? Maybe one of them would take him in? I hope you and your DH get through this and work it out so your relationship is stronger than ever!!
ohhh .. hope you manage to sort things out and quickly .... (((HUGS)))) love mouse xxxx
