Feel like a hypocrite

...See more Hi so a left my parents home almost a month ago. My entire life i have stayed with them. And yes im a full grown adult. i left because they crossed a boundary wherein they used my apartment as an isolation place since early Jan a lot of us got infected with covid. I allowed it for a good 2 weeks, then felt resentful after then which started and explosive fight. The wife of my bro and my nephew stayed in my small apartment- to protect them from getting covid. and after over 2 weeks i told my family that its no longer ok that people are staying in my apartment cos I cant go there, and that it was not my responsibility anymore… so now i feel like a hypocrite because i left my 2 dogs in my parents place. They were cared by my cousin. Now that my cousin is working back at the office- my dogs are cared for by my bro. The same bro whose family stayed in my apartment. i feel like i preached and then dont practice what i preach. Lacking integrity i am stuck because im unable to care for 2 additional dogs in my small apartment on my own, total 3 dogs. Besides, my apartment only allows 1 pet. I do have 1 of 3 dogs with me now. It is convenient and manageable. But im not going to be ‘understood’, in what i preach if this continues. I do now that my bro loves my dogs…but i do want to set boundaries. I set a boundary then i perform a violation of the same boundary towards others. What to do?
