I did take her and my daughter is paying the bill (she works) my fear is that she will send Bella off to be with her boyfriend and he does not watch her at all and no one is ever home at his house not only that she will be 18 next month and she can just up and go and take Bella with her and god only knows what would happen to the poor girl then

And NO no one consulted us about anything she just calls me christmas eve and says hey mom i got my dog for christmas

the thing is she had mentioned wanting one back in september october and november and we told her flat out NO you cannot have a dog! But you see how well she listens and now that Bella is here there is no way we can turn the poor baby away we love her to death and like i said in a prior thread Brittany goes to school all day and then works some day and dances on the dance team others so i have been with Bella alot and i have gotten very attached to her so there is no way i can tell her she has to find her a new home that would kill me

I will talk to my husband about everything you guys have told me and hopefully he can put his foot down and get her to listen to him. She has papers for the dog and they are in her name so if i tried to stop her from taking the dog anywhere (like her boyfriends) couldn't she call teh law on me?
