Sorry to hear about your mom

At least you have a lot of time to figure it out... I didn't know who I was going to have watch Layla until a month ago. Do you have any neighbors that might do it?
I was hoping Layla would get along with my brother's new basset hound puppy, because they are getting a friend to watch her and their two cats for the next week. Maybe if they were friendly, it wouldn't be so hard on Layla. Unfortunately, Layla is absolutely terrified of the dog AND the two cats

They're all just too loud and rambunctious for her!
