Why not just leave her sorry behind at home? No reason you and the kids couldn't go. Use the same explanation that puppy gave you.
Sorry I am just so mad that WAS get to do whatever they want it seems. I think LBS's should go ahead and do their thing too.

I agree with Kat. Why should the whole family suffer because of your W's actions? That reminds me of when we were in grade school and someone would misbehave and the whole class would get punished. That kind of stuff always seemed crazy to me. Karen
