Dear Cali Chica:

Having two dogs running around, creating ruckus is definitely not congruent with the peace and quiet required for this type of conversation.

“deep down annoyed that once again she’s around during an important stressful time”- probably the two of you (inner circle) were annoyed. It benefits not only you and husband, for your sister to not occupy your inner circle- it benefits her as well. She too needs you outside her inner circle, whether she knows it or not.
