My family hates my dog?! HELP?

I've had a dog for 2 years now its a Pomeranian and she is adorable, shes always friendly and loves everyone. My mom used to be okay about it. But ever since my aunt has come my mom is really cruel to her (my aunt says negative things about dogs to her) such as how dirty, disgusting and unclean they are. Me and my grandpa love her so we pick her up and hug her and do whatever we like because shes like a baby to my grandpa and me, My family however yells at us for it and laughs and talks about it behind our back about how crazy and insane we are. Now we are getting a home and my aunt told the real estate agent that we dont want the dog in the house (she said this secretly i overheard) ... which make me mad because if my dog cant live in the house then i wont either. My aunt also gives mean looks to my dog i have seen several times. And then she says she loves her its clearly a lie.

She (my aunt) used to have a dog and i even saw her putting him in her lap and combing his hair.

You need to sit down with your family and talk to them.

I know, I know... "That's what they all say..."

But could you imagine the surprise on your mom's face when you say that YOU need to "have a talk" with HER? She'll have to listen to you if you get her to sit down on the coutch for a few mintues. Be firm, but not forceful (insist that she sit down and talk with you, but don't yell at her to sit down).

Just ask her straightforward: "Do you not like my dog? Because I'm getting the impression that you don't." Talk to her about what you think is going on, and ask her for her point of view. I agree with Peyton, you need to let them know that you love and care for this dog, and they should respect that. Once you both understand each other, negotiations will be easy!

Good luck!

You really have very little power here. I would enlist the help of your grandfather in talking to your mother about this. Promise that you will wash the dog every week, and clean up after him (including his poopies outside) - then be sure you do it. Let your mom handle your aunt. Hope it goes well for you.

I pray that the dog that ran away is in a better place. I am an animal lover %26amp; I pray against those that treat animals with any type of cruelty. I have a pomeranian %26amp; her name is PISSY. She is the pet of my sister who passed away last year. I took both of her pomeraniians %26amp; tried to take the 3rd one. I got there too late. But the 3rd one is in good hands. People have issues some are other people issues, some are animal issues. it hurts me to see or hear of an animal or child being hurt. Those most near us are the ones who hurt us. Try to stay positive %26amp; ignore the ugly stuff going on. If you have to a better place for your pet - do it. It will always hurt but it is better that you get your pet to a place where he or she will be taken care of. If push comes to shove - you can email me %26amp; we can take possibly about getting your pet to a good place. But try all you can to hold on to your beloved pet but remember it is better that you choose a place than being forced to a place.

It almost sounds like jelousy to me, but do NOT say that to them! Do your best to keep the dog out of their way, bathe him often, excercise him so he isn't hyper, and do whatever you can to not give your aunt and mom any reasons to complain. At least you have your grandad on your side. That should help.

Actually dogs are pretty filthy...and I love both of mine. But they go outside and roll in feces, they EAT feces. Think about that next time your's gives you "kisses". Maybe if you looked at dogs realistically rather in a fantasy you'd understand your aunt and mom a little better.
