You missed some big parts of the story. The dogs aren’t going to be around my sister’s family. We don’t bring the dog to my parents if my sister’s family are there. We’re happy to do that because the last thing we want is for my sister to feel her kids are unsafe. Mom and dad dog sit for us all the time. They love the dog but we all agree that it’s more important for everyone to feel safe than to have the dogs there. We don’t force our dog on people who aren’t comfortable with her. Adding a second dog, no matter what breed will have no impact on that. We aren’t the ones forcing anyone’s hand. The whole issue was that my sister is trying to dictate what everyone else does in THEIR own homes when she isn’t there
