thanks for all the replies... While I know SOME animals DO get along... believe me, we have TRIED to make it work... there does come a time when you have to find resolution. Its not a easy thing to do for my mom, she is very emotional about the whole thing. I have checked some of the links and as I said before there are not any NO-KILL shelters around here... I know there are a few in the DFW area... as a very last resort we will make the trip down for that... we hope that is not what it comes to.

Thanks again everyone,
Steph
