Michiko,
My cousin and I live in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs either. But, I got Baby. I haven't gotten "caught" but do feel bad for the people below me b/c they probably hear her barking. Anyway, my cousin and I are moving into a house that we are purchasing...and one of the reasons for the move? I don't want to sneak around with the dog and not be able to take her outside in the daytime. So, I guess you can say I'm moving to keep my dog. So, I applaud you. Great decision!
