I guess if you are going to be in school for a few more years, then I think finding a new home would be a kindness. Wow, what a hard decision. I feel for you and the dog. |
Thanks for the quick response.
I will be in school for at least another four years, probably longer. I plan on going to grad school when I graduate from UNCC. I could POSSIBLY ask my mom, but she lives in an apartment with two cats. But she won't even dog sit him for a couple days! My dad, I'm almost positive, would not keep Baxter, even though he lives in a house. I might bring it up to him, but I doubt he would.
The thing is, after this summer, life for Baxter will get better, because I am moving into ANOTHER apartment with two other girls. He will THEN be able to run around the apartment freely, because it will just be us. My roommate currently has a big dog that likes to pick fights with Baxter, and though Baxter can stick up for himself, I don't like him playing so hard all the time.
So, yes, I have a dilemma.
