I went to a agency told them I needed an apartment that would allow two small yorkies, the agent told me it would be very hard to find as no one wanted tenants that had dogs. After 6 months of searching I had to make a decision, I was not about to get rid of my dogs, they were raised together and could not be separated. The only way I could keep my dogs was to buy my own home where no one could tell me how many I could have or tell me I had to get rid of my dogs. I moved two states away, took a commuter bus to my NY job 1 & 1/2 ride. I did this for my dogs, to be able to keep them, that is how I come to live in Pa. for my babies. It was the best thing I did, I had my babies and they had a yard to run and play in. I have NEVER looked back.

Good for you!!! This was so touching I got goose bumps reading it. You did the right thing. I learned my lesson. My babies have NEVER given up on me and i will never again give up on any of them. I learned the hard way.
