Still in the family?

Thank but it's kind of the opposite here. My mom got Maggie mostly for herself, mind you this was back when I was err 11-12?, and well Maggie became MY dog. I'm truly bonded with her and I've never imagined not living with her or not bringing her with me when I move out of my house. I've already talked to my mom about it and luckily she wholeheartedly agrees that when I move out Maggie belongs with me.

Roxie is my dog, I got her for me and my mom would be more than ecstatic if I took her with me because she's such a pain in the butt! lol

Squishy and Squirt are both mine and I've had Squishy for about 5 years now while I just got Squirt from the HS.

My mom won't mind me taking them, so I know there's not a problem in that. I'm just hoping I can take care of all of them, because I know adding a bird in it, Paulie, may be a little more to handle for one person and if I get my roommate like i'm hoping for, we'll be taking in her pets as well. Wow I'm getting a bit ahead of myself now! lol

lol, make sure you get a place with no animal or breed restrictions...I had to fight and find my way around all that for my puppy. ....I did though

There is no doubt that my dogs will be coming with me when I move out. My parents say they want to keep atleast Simba. But, I couldn't imagine living without any of them.

So when is this move happening? Gainesville, FL is not TOO far away!

As long as you have the time and finances and you think it's the best thing not only for you but also for the animals, then I think it would be totally fine. If I could afford to move out, I would, but I can't afford a house much less to take three dogs with me (Luka would stay with my parents) without having a full time job which would not give me much time for myself and the dogs.

On another note, Gainesville isn't too far, we could probably get together every so often.

Lol!

I'm actually considering next summer or the summer after. I'll have to see how the year goes.

I'm lucky that my parents are understanding in that these are all MY dogs. We would only have Mandy right now if I hadn't taken on all responsibilities for the dogs. Should I choose to take them all with me they would be okay with it. They would be upset because they are a huge part of the family, but since they are all mine, it would be fine. Actually, the Labs are all in my name, but Mandy is in my parents'. But Mandy and I have a very, very strong bond and my parents, while they love her, she doesn't have much of a bond with them. I'm like that with Luka - I love her very much, but we don't have a bond like I do with the other three but she does have that bond with my parents, especially my dad. For that reason, it would be best for her to stay with them.

The animals that I take care of and that were bought for me are mine and they will come with me. I kind of have the situation you have with Maggie. Thunder is the "family" dog but I couldn't move out without him. I couldn't imagine not having him with me.
