Actually, I am the oldest of my siblings. So who knows why I let them do what they do.

My sister takes a lot from me. She's stayed with me (with her husband, 4 kids, 2 dogs and a cat) for extended periods (several months at a time) many times over the past 6 years or so. THat is always very hard because she dominates everyone and is very, very, very controlling of every thing that goes on...she will rearrange how I put things in my cabinets! Right now, she and her family are on vacation at disney land and she called a few weeks ago to tell me that I was keeping her dogs. Dropped them off last weekend (the weekend of march 9th) and won't be back to pick them up until March23rd or so..she hasn't said specifically. The thing is she has 2 beagle puppies who are not very well house trained, so they pee everywhere, eat everything-chew things up all over the house, they jump like crazy so I am covered with bloody scratches and her other dog is older (7 yrs) and very aggressive. She's constantly starting a fight through the fence with the next door neighbor's dog. My sis didn't even ASK if I would watch them, she just made her vacation plans and assumed I would do it. She didn't even bring enough food for them and we are ending up having to buy more (which is expensive) and they can't eat my dog's food because it makes them have diarrhea...ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm just so frustrated. She's only called once and was like "how are my babies?" when I told her all the stuff they'd been doing she was just like "I know! isn't that annoying?" WHAT? Didn't she think she should have mentioned they would pee everywhere, eat my furniture, chew up my son's toys, dig holes all over my yard, chew on my area rug, scratch the crap out of us...?
