I am with you Scooters Mom, I did lose my house, my car and a whole lot of others things were sold so we could afford to move to a rental townhome. My dogs were used to having a fenced in yard, large home with plenty of room (80lb Golden and 55lb Collie mix). I was very difficult for them at first having to be on leash all the time, that was 3yrs ago we now having a doggy park they built this year. I did not want to lose my dogs, but if I would not have had a choice you do what you have to do. Most rental places do not accept large dogs, things happen!
