Tara, I sure am sorry about the difficulties you've had in seeing your dogs and the ordeal with your husband. It sounds a little similar to my situation. I didn't want to split up my dogs either.
I tried to reply to your PM but it says your mailbox is full and it wouldn't let me send you a message. Hopefully you'll see this and clear out your mailbox so I can send you me phone number...I'd love to talk to you
