aly: You need to get assurance from Rob ASAP that he will not change his mind again. If he's not 100% sure that Max can come, then you need to start exploring your options now instead of last minute. >>>>>>

I agree with the above, but I am also a bit concerned
because of Max's age.

IF it was me, "before" I would be moving out,
I would find a place that allows dogs.
I would also make sure Rob gives his word
that Max can stay with us for the rest of his life with-out
any resentment from Rob. (but only you know Rob)


I also do not know your situation.
If your situation is that you have NO choice,
than I agree with Aly, find him a good home to love
him in his golden years now, before you are desperate.
It sounds like your in-between a rock and a hard pole right now,
my heart goes out to you.
