I know that moms suck when it comes to pets, at least my mom did. But that's why I have tons now! hehe When I was little I would always bring home stray animals like dogs, and my mom would always take the dogs to the pound. When I was in 6th grade, my mom took my lop bunny to the petstore. One day though, things just changed and we kept Blacky, then along came Ickeris, and Wacko, and we had all our tiels (I could always keep a bird if I had one, my moms a bird fanatic) and then after I moved back into my family and met Dan, I was going to move to Oregon, they BEGGED me to keep Baby, and then there was three. Then Thor came along, and now I really think they are addicted to cats. Then there's my brother's toad, and my moms budgie too. My mom wants a hedgie but they are illegal in California.

But ya my point being is that once you move out and have your own place and a job, you don't have to worry about this.

I hope you both can find her a wonderful home. I would take her in a heartbeat if I lived closer.
