You know, Aly, she drove back here from Missouri...there were probably so many homes along that way for him. I probably should have addressed this sooner. I was kind of in denial. I didn't truly believe that she would give her dog up.

He is so heart broken. He's been wandering the house howling and crying all day. He wants his mommy and daddy. It makes me so sad.

I'm wondering if a large deposit will change the landlord's mind. Maybe once I sell my house, I can negotiate something with my MIL's landlord. I'm really trying to patient and understanding with her...I know she truly loves him. It's just hard.
