Dear Dáithí: My sister has a new dog... it's taking over our lives

We get constant WhatsApp updates on where her dog is sitting and how cute it looks begging for a treat etc

Dear Dáithí,

My sister has got a new dog, and it feels like it’s taken over her life. And it’s also like she wants it to take over our lives too.
