Susan I'm with everyone else. Stand your ground. Meadow is not just any animal she is your guide dog and she is there to help you. The fact that they would even ask you not to bring the dog is outright appalling. I personally would not want to go even if they change their mind but that's me and knowing my husband he would be by my side too and would not go, family or not. Family is supposed to be supportive and understanding not selfish and if the reason is something to the effect that they don't want a dog in their million dollar home then that tells me family means nothing to them. Hope I'm not being to forward but I felt terrible for you when I read that. Hope it all works out.
