Lynn is right, you should put them in the kennels and send her the bill plus the vet's bill for the kennel cough shot. Ask yourself, "Would I ever make these demands on anyone?" and let that be your guide.

She has got some nerve! Next time say "I'm sorry, but that is not going to work for me." You don't have to justify yourself either.

I find it very hard to confront people in my family also (lots of domineering types too) but I have learned to say no. My biggest act of self-protection was moving 3,000 miles away.
