I understand how upset you are. We bought my daughter a poodle when she was in the 8th grade. She stayed with us while Jessica was in college and while she lived in an apartment. She later moved into a house and took Ginger with her. She got married this past summer and has since bought a house. Ginger lives with her and we babysit when she's out of town. Ginger is now 12 years old. I am still attached to her and like your mother I wanted the best for both Ginger and my daughter. You may have to leave her with your mother for now and when your circumstances change in the future, your dog can live with you. Good luck!
