Michiko~ You know better than anyone what your situation is and I respect so much that you are unwilling to get a pup without prior approval. I was nervous about Piper the entire time until we moved but like I said in my previous post concerning the other two dogs...I am pig-headed and I knew my landlord pretty well and thought that if I had them home I'd have a better chance convincing him to let them stay. I got lucky but not everyone may be as fortunate. I hate to think of the downside...if he had said No after I already had my babies home. But again, you know your landlord just as I knew mine. Good luck to you sweetie and you'll get your baby in due time. Just hang in there. What a lucky little baby they'll be too!! I can tell you have much LOVE to give
