What would you do if you offered your sister a happier life in New York, than in the nobody town she lives in Oregon where she has expressed how miserable she is, but gives you the ultimatum of her or your dog? The thought of re-homing piper kills me. She literally saved my life before I had Bellamy and before I met Mikey. (My SO) She was literally my emotional support dog through my depression and anxiety before I had my family. I don’t think my sister will ever understand that, and how much me, my son, and my so love our dog piper. The fact that she chooses to be completely miserable in the town she lives in because we have piper is absolutely insane! 😔😖 We’re literally offering her a better life here and freedom she doesn’t have over there, and she would throw that all away because of my dog. I just don’t get it.😣

Maybe it’s not really about piper Do you think she can be holding on to something or someone in the town she’s in?
I don’t think she’s holding onto anything or anyone. I know that the people she’s going back to are going to make her stay there and guilt trip her, and etc... 😣
@miaheka, Just keep trying to persuade her I’m sure she’ll come around eventually is there anyone else who can also help you persuade her? Maybe if a few people are telling her she’ll decide to leave
It sounds like she just isn’t ready to leave the life or situation she’s in, whatever it is. My sister is like that too
@miaheka, it doesn’t to us because we aren’t in her head. I doubt even she knows why
You’re doing her a favor and offering her a chance to get out of a miserable place but only if you give up someone you love? That’s crazy to me! I’d say she can stay in Oregon then.
As Pipers forever Home is with you, it sounds like your sisters forever home is in Oregon lol but seriously keep the dog. She’s being ridiculous.
I’m not getting rid of my piper. I got her when she was 8 weeks, and she’s been my baby and biggest support when I didn’t have my actual baby and SO. She literally saved me from suicide 3 years ago, and my baby boy loves her to death, she’s not just a dog. She’s part of our family, and she’s not going anywhere.
Your doing her a favor! I wouldn’t get rid of my dog she wants to stay and suffer and be miserable that’s on her not you you tried and that’s what counts
I feel like everything we’re offering her should be way more of an incentive and desire to move here, but she keeps bringing up piper. 😣
@miaheka, yeah something isn’t adding up there she shouldn’t not move for a better life because of your dog
Umm you trying to do her a favor and she's telling you that you have to get rid of your dog. Keep the dog! That's insane. I could understand if it was her offering you a home and saying you can come but unfortunately the dog can not.
Exactly! I feel like she’s using piper as an excuse, and refusing to see how much piper means to me and my little family. She’s not just a dog to us, she’s part of our family, and my sister doesn’t see that.
Sounds like it's not really about the dog.
Why does she not like piper? What are her concerns? Could this really be an excuse because she isn't ready to make the change or because she doesn't want to risk the move?
And if you rehomed piper what would that accomplish? What if you rehomed your pup and she backs out or leaves after a month or two?
@miaheka, I thought about the repercussions of re-homing piper and my sister backing out, and it’s just not worth it. Piper means a lot to me and my baby and my SO, more than she thinks... and I don’t think she’ll ever understand that.
Yep! Sounds like she is just happy to bitch and complain about where she is and unwilling to make a change. If she had some real reason for not wanting your dog, I'm sure you could work around those issues.
We have a dog and wouldn't give him up for anyone. He is part of the family and we make sure he is well cared for, as is our two kids. We have family who is allergic to dogs and when they stay over we make sure they stay in the room that the dog isnt allowed to go into (we shut the door). We also do a deep clean and the pup gets his bath and everything out of the home before they come to keep allergies down. We provide meds if needed or requested. And just keep him elsewhere during the times when they are over. If they had to live her we would work out a plan to keep them healthy and everyone happy.
It certainly shows you that she is unwilling to really move. And this isnt about your Piper.
@sorcha, We do the exact same thing! And she isn’t even allergic to dogs.🤦🏻♀️ I’m definitely starting to think it has to be something more than just piper, and she’s just using piper as an excuse. 😣
I wouldn’t live in a house with a dog either 🤷🏼♀️
My dog sheds during the winter, but all winter dogs do.🤦🏻♀️😂 She’s also part wolf, which is an issue? I don’t know... I feel like she’s using piper as an excuse. 🤦🏻♀️
Umm you trying to do her a favor and she's telling you that you have to get rid of your dog. Keep the dog! That's insane. I could understand if it was her offering you a home and saying you can come but unfortunately the dog can not.
