It sucks that your mom can't be there the whole time, but really, it's not a big deal. Does her dog have diabetes or something? Maybe your mom just doesn't want to trust her dog to someone else, especially if he/she's got particular needs that should be taken care of.

boohoo. cry me a river... at least shes going to the ceremony right? and she'll be there half the time. its also not fair for the dog to have to hold on his/her pee for that long either, they have to go sometime.

your mother is a ******* bitch, tell her to get her ******* priorities straight, any1 who says to grow up, shut up its a ******* dog, it will live

I am not certain if the OP is more upset about her mom not being in the limo or the fact that her mom is leaving. I had to re-read the post, because it does sound as though the mom is not coming back to the reception. I can understand the fact that the dog needs to pee, but if taking care of the dog requires her to leave and not come back, than she should have other arrangements, especially since OP said the mom has boarded the dog before for $12. As far as her not being in the limo, couldn't someone else drive her car to the reception hall so that she could run home, take care of the dog, and then get back?

bridezilla ! shes gonna see the wedding and the reception she has to let the dog out. u inhumane bitch. what is she gonna miss in the half an hour tops she is gone? dancing and drunk people? oh no how could she

I can completely understand why you might feel hurt, is there an alternative to her having to go home in the middle of the reception? Maybe try explaining to her how important it is that she goes with you in the limo, and suggest that she ask a neighbor to take the dog out that day.

Your mother wouldn't purposely miss anything, probably just some dance time, and I'm sure that she's coming back. She has her responsibility to her dog, who is at her mercy survival-wise, and will have to go to the bathroom regardless of who is getting married. But I'll say that it does really suck that for this reason she won't be in the limo with you and the other girls before. That's kind of important. :/ Maybe she can still find someone to let it out for her? But hope that you have a great day at your wedding! Don't worry, this is still important to your mom and I'm sure that you'll be able to spend lots of time together!

#26- No- it's the other way around, her damn dog- a living, breathing creature that she has taken into her home, is more important than a glorified party.

Actually, nowhere in the post does it say that the mom plans to come back. For all we know, the reception could be taking place a good deal away from where the mom lives, in which case it would be a lot longer than "just 20 minutes" to let her dog out. Is the mom a "******* bitch"? not necessiarly. Should she have made arrangements for her precious puppy ahead of time? Absolutely. Sorry your mom's priorities are out of whack!

Dogs bladders are fine as long as the dog's age in months. So if you have a two year old dog, it can technically hold its bladder for 24 hrs. Though I'm not sure why the mother doesn't just have the dog in a cage anyway or ask a neighbor to let the dog out. It's pretty silly to be worrying about your dog on your daughter's wedding day.
