Quick background

I buy Mika for the daughter (who was living with me after completing college).

My little scheme is daughter will never leave and I get to enjoy Mika too.

Daughter fools me and had it going on more than I imagine and packs up and moves to Atlanta. AFter she gets settled I have the heartbreak of taking Mika to her Mommy and leaving heartbroken for an empty house.

I rally and drive to Oklahoma months later to pick up my own new baby Maya.

We are adjusting and working on potty training.

The daughter calls....she is and has been in love with a guy from Japan she met in college. They both ADORE Mika...BUTTTTTTTTTTT his student visa is up, and she wants to move to Japan with him. Here are the bars for Mika

* Some test that has to be taken after a rabies shot that has to incubate for 180 days before Japan will let her in.

*1,000.00 deposit required to have a dog in an apartment

*Noise clause in the lease, whereas if the neighbors feel the dog is too loud the dog can be removed.

So heartbroken daughter is looking at sending Mika home to live with me and Maya.

Well how does Mommy feel about this.....

Ambivalent.

Maya is an only child
Mika is so much bigger than Maya, will she hurt her???
Double grooming vet, food and other care bills for Mommy now....

Will I be glad to have Mika home???? I loved her so much, but on last visit,she did not even seem to remember me....

I don't quite know how to feel. Right now, I just feel anxious.
