It's wonderful that your family has been willing to take care of her while you have been studying and working. Do you think they would let you take Itzel to NY for a few months "trial" period? Maybe give both of you some time together to see if she will be happy in NY? It's such a difficult decision to make without having spent a lot of consecutive time with her the past few years. I do believe that you'll be able to create a happy, loving home for her. But just in case Itzel doesn't adjust well to her new environment, at least you'd have a back up plan. I wish you the best of luck in your decision. I know it's a tough one. |
Awww...thank you for your advice. My family has been wonderful. I feel like a parent who pays child support for their kids. I made sure she has food, treats, etc. sent to my parent's house so they won't have to worry about it. Actually, I have to order her food online since the stores that carry it in my area are an hour away.
I think I can always think of that as an option to take her back to California if she isn't reacting well to the move. I can always sneak away a weekend and take her back home. Thankfully, California doesn't require a health certificate and I think most airlines don't for in cabin pets. I've been crazy researching the requirements. After the fiasco in Mexico, I decided to make sure I am well informed before moving her.
