Every weekend we go to my MIL's to do laundry (i won't use the public ones at my appt complex because i caught someone trying to steal my clothes) and i always bring Chico. Well, Chico loves it over there, or should I say he USED to. Every time my MIL would go near him yesterday, he would start barking at her and run away to either me, my husband, or my brother in law. I couldn't understand why he would do this, because he has always loved my mother in law. he even slept in her bed with her when i stayed the night there a while ago.
Well, come to find out, I guess she was playing with Chico last weekend when we were there and she was down on the floor with him, and she started play barking at him. Chico didn't like this so she told me he ran away from her...I'm thinking that's why he doesn't like her anymore, because she scared him. I didn't know any of this until yesterday. I got kind of mad, because Chico is so small, and people doing things like that to him can make him afraid of people he doesn't know, and I don't want that.
Not only that, but when Chico wouldn't go near her yesterday, she started chasing him trying to pick him up and she grabbed his harness and started pulling it, trying to pick him up by his harness! I yelled at her not to do that and told her he's very fragile and she can really hurt him doing that. My husband agreed with me, but she chalked it up to me and him being "overprotective" and "treating Chico as if he were a REAL baby." Well, of COURSE Chico is a REAL baby...he's MY baby! And I don't want him being treated like a rag doll. I got so mad so I just left, with Chico. I told my husband I'd come back and pick him up when our laundry was done.
