I feel bad right now. We just got back from a family vacation reunion, it is a yearly thing, with my husband's family. One member and his wife brought their dog again, 3rd time I know of, and this dog is scary and bites. It did bite two people this time. I didn't know about the first bite only the 2nd one. And the person got bit because he reached for and hugged the wife in front of the dog. I didn't see this happen, but later I said the dog was seeing the person as a threat that was trying to hug. Later I found out about another bite and this was more random. So the last day of the trip, I think some people were feeling from my comment I approved of the dog or was defending the action. I wasn't really. I was trying to point out the dog was a guard type dog and saw the trailer as it's home. And any person as a threat to that. I don't think this is the right dog to bring on a family thing with kids. And I had to past that dog to get to where I was sleeping every day and the dog was not watched or tied up very often. My husband and I just put up with it. But I felt I couldn't say anything, didn't want to cause trouble, you know a family thing. But I was afraid the whole time and glad when they left. I like the people okay but couldn't talk much or get near them because of the dog. I don't blame the dog for being who it is though. They should just leave the dog in the care of someone the dog trusts at home. I feel though that now I misspoke about "definding" the dog. I love animals. Anyway, this has been on my mind for days and days. I am not that close to this side of my husband's family and so that didn't help. I don't think they are that fond of me anyway, just nothing in common, it is okay. But I didn't want to make it worst, you know? Anyone else ever have a misunderstanding like this with their in-law's family?
