Debra--
Thank you for you perspective, I appreciate your advice. Yes, my mom lives close by and at least for the first month or so she is going to try to stop by and play with her. She is not a huge dog lover though, so hopefully it will be something that will work. We actually just moved about 2 weeks ago into a new apartment, and there are lots of people with dogs here. I have been so busy unpacking and such, that I have not gotten out to meet them yet. I am fairly sure that there are people in here who do that sort of "check in" or pet sitting, so I've just got to do some networking and figure out who's who. Ideally I would like to find someone to "trade services" with... like if I could check on their dog a couple days a week and vice versa. I'll figure something out! Thanks again for your perspective.
