thanks for the input Gill!
I talked with my friend today and the urgency that I felt isn't as high as I originally thought. She would like to talk to Cristy either via email or phone. She definately wants her to be indoor only b/c she wasn't happy either when her dad dumped her outside. She has no intention of taking her to the HS or dumping her anywhere either. She feels bad and is second guessing herself of course. I told her if she is allergic to Molly there's a good chance that the baby might be as well, and she would have to be rehomed with greater urgency then.
As long as she is well loved and cared for she will be happy for Molly.
She is willing to keep her until Cristy and the family are ready in their new home. And she's willing to drive her to Cristy. I told her if she couldn't I would or I would go with her.
I'll PM this all to Cristy.
