That would break a grandmother's heart, it would. ... The bond OP says Jasmine and her grandma have would be shattered if Jasmine were never allowed into their house - and imagine the expense and confusion for Millie if she were carted off to a kennel everytime the girl slept over!

If there weren't a beloved grandchild involved - if DIL and son just said they'd never come over anymore with a Rott in the house, I think everybody here would say, Fine. Nice knowing you. But the girl - that changes everything.

As much as I love a nice Rottweiler and as vehemently as I hate people with knee-jerk negative responses to Rotties, I think OP did the right thing - the only thing he could do.

He should, however, practice a serious cold-shoulder to his DIL. What a b**ch.

I'm sorry for you, deek72, but it's pretty certain that Millie is OK. I know that special thing we get for one or two dogs, and it might take a while to come along again, but it will. Maybe by then your DIL will have come to her senses.

Heh heh! my experience here has made me really want a Rottie now, just to keep in touch with you lot!!
