This is so sad! Basically, it all boils down to dog owners who allow their dogs to destroy the home VIA eating on the wall corners, pee/poop on carpet, and damaging the property. Maybe you couldinvite the owner to your home and show the condition it is in and that your babies are well behaved. Explain you are having a difficult mental time dealing with the passing of one within 6 months and cannot bare to be away from the other during this time in your life and appeal to his human side. I would try this first and use your sister as your last option. JMHO
