Thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate your opinions, I always worry myself to death. See, if it was my house, Niki would be inside, no questions asked but since it's mom's house and as most of you may know my mom only lets me and the doxies in one room. Out of this whole house, we get one room... and only because they are smaller in size! She says she'd never allow Niki in the house, ever, and I feel like you guys about that, I can't stand to see a pup outside 24/7 they are supposed to be family, how can they be family when they are out in the edge of the yard??!! Arg...but at the same time I sure do love her, and I miss her terrible, I do go see her, but you guys know that sometimes that just makes you want them close more.

I agree now, I think that it's best that she is left where she is. My dad loves her, spoils her, lets her in the house alot, lets her play and release her energy running and playing outside anytime she wants. He only lives let's see....about 10 or 15 mins away so I can see her anytime. Again thanks you guys! Also, more opinions are totally welcome or any thoughts.
