I really believe your MIL just trusted you to watch her precious puppy during such a difficult time, and I'm sure she's SO excited to get him back and catch up on missed time with him.
You did a wonderful thing caring for him, but it's time to let go now.. you'll still see him I'm sure and your furbaby can have playdates w/Ace. You can offer to get her a different puppy, but I know that I would personally be offended and it's quite possible she's so emotional after her ordeal and won't react well to you offering that. |
