We know this is a decision we will have to make soon. Especially since my mom could be losing her house in a year or so. Yes, I don't want to put that responsibility on her. After surgery would be worse than how it is now. She can walk (and run a little) right now. We could keep her at home, but my issue with that is I'm not home all day and Bruce works out of the house. He would have to commit to taking on the task of caring for her while he works. That's something we'd need to discuss too. I would stress that he's not caring for her properly (my own paranoia), not that he isn't a good doggie dad. But when he is working he tends to tune everything else out. People sometimes say "well what if you had kids?" and my response is "we don't!!". Who knows what it would be like if we had kids? We will never find that out. Dogs and cats are enough for us. Ours seem to be almost as expensive as kids.

I think I'd like to try Zoee at my moms through the summer. She can get exercise swimming and that is good for her. It will be easier to keep her confined during the winter, at least I think so.

I do appreciate everyone's concerns and I am listening to all of you, I swear. I am constantly thinking of my options and how I will handle all of this. Thank you all so much.
