I think its her fault he wont let go, she feels sorry for him..You know what i mean..and hes the one fixing her car to leave, and uses it as a lever to see her more..any way they car is almost done and she will be able to go, she has a bit of an itchy foot..has gone visiting a lot back there and va. She loves to go places but hasnt done it like she would like because of me, and her dogs she wont leave them very long at a time..3 days to 6 days the most then she has to be back with them, and her samson is going with her, the other dog shadow , her boyfriend is keeping and she now has kirby..hes a little spit fire..lol..will keep her busy..he got lose form me last night ,hes usually very docile on the leash but all of a sudden he jerked and i lost it..she got in the car and found him just on the next lot..have to watch that little bugger.Sammyj jsut stood there looking to where he went.We have so much in common and like the same things. Even as a child when i worked I was lucky enought to be able to work where I could take her with me..till she started school.Thanks for ans my post. Its not easy on a mother no matter how old they are , my oldest that is 41 now, moved to ok with her now husband and I was so angry at him for taking her off..lol..I cried and wouldnt even speak to her for a mo..it broke my heart.I still miss her so much, Its hard to talk on the phone..hes a sweet person, but I kept telling him , I was mad at him..lol..thanks agian..
