One of my babies could be dead right now!
I've been thinking lately that its not working out so great anymore for her to be here, but right now she has nowhere else to go. My sister and her family were renting a house from my parents and this past December it caught on fire. It is almost rebuilt, but until they can move back in they are staying at my mom's very small house, and there just isn't any room for mom to go home until they do.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to keep my pups safe without kicking mom out?
If something happened to Puff, or Luke, or Grace because of my mother, I would never forgive her.
My mom stays with me when she comes to visit up here and she takes a lot of meds. I did find a pill on the floor once and got scared. So we made a deal. I told her that she would feel awful if something happened to my dogs, and I would die inside if something did, so how can we make SURE this does not happen again. She agreed to taking water to the bathroom and opening her pills right over the sink. That way if any fell out, they would fall in the sink. Maybe something like that might work? She could also do it over the kitchen sink.
