This must have been a tough decision, but I think it was the best for her. I made the conscious decision not to get a dog until I had a place of my own (without roomates) at the age of 21. I was still in college, but knew that Couver would be safe in our apartment. We now have our own beautiful house and a fenced in front and back yard and I know that waiting was the best decision for me.
