Opinion about dogs?

So my in laws don't like my 8 month old lab because they think he is too big, I have a planned csection in July so I was trying to find him a kennel to put him in while I am in the hospital, but I live in small town and the one kennel we do have was rude to me and won't take him because I didn't know the exact date of pick up but how can I it depends how I do and how baby does. So another option we came up with is leaving him at home and having my mom feed water him and let him out in the morning and at night, and probably on the second day my husband will run home and give him a walk. Obviously this isn't my ideal situation but I don't have much options. He will probably be like this for 3 days or so and he doesn't have run of the house, he is baby gated at back step while we are gone with a bed, toys, and water. Thoughts no rude comments I'm trying my best and very stressed!
