Hi everyone. I wanted to thank you all for your input on my problem.. I did forget to leave a few details out that in retrospect could be important.. I am activly involved with 2 dog rescue groups so I see ALOT of dogs weekly. Also, my dogs and my friends dogs are together constantly-- at least 4 days per week.. So they are used to eachother and love eachother to death.
I did see Gracie yesterday. She is soooooo beautiful. My childhood dream come true. I have though, come to the conclusion that if someone wants to adopt a senior citizen and will give her a great home, I will let her go- what ever is best for her.

Thanks again for all the great input.
Michelle

Something else to think about, although if you are sure then I'm not trying to put you off. Moving in with a person with dogs of their own is a bit stressful. You should really agree on house rules and when you are allowed to discipline each others dogs and how you do it BEFORE you move in together. Even then expect some problems. No matter how well you are prepared there are going to be times when your thinking about the dogs is likely to be different. Talk about this and save yourselves a little heartache!!
It sounds like a wonderful house by the way. Good luck in it and don't take too long to get the computer unpacked!!!!
