Even though my son has been back with us for the last year and she does like him...it is me who takes care of her, feeds her, walks her, buys her treats, rushed her to the vet in the middle of the night, who she sleeps with. His girlfriend has been living back with her parents, 4 hrs away and has not seen her. She is now moving to our city and they are going to live together and are taking the dog. My heart is breaking but I expected it. After all they love her too and have been paying for her for the last two years (stupid kids bought her from a pet store and paid a fortune which they didnt have). I have offered to buy her from them..my husband would kill me, we have two dogs already, but I feel like she belongs with me, so I would do it. Anyways, they are taking her. I think my son might have been persuaded but his gf said no. As I said I am so sad but will be okay, but am worried about her. Tell me she will be okay and that dogs dont know the difference so I can feel at peace. I feel like I am abandoning my child in a way(I figure only a dog lover could understand this) and am worried they wont take care of her. Thanks for reading this lengthy post. I just have to tell someone.

I am worried they won't take care of her also. Perhaps you can talk them both into it in the best interests of the dog but don't get their back up. You can always say if it doesn't work out for them which in 90% of these cases it won't once the gf finds out how much work there is to it, you will get her back. Keep the door open but if you can get her back make it clear the dog is now forever with you, they won't be getting her back.
Hard to say, you may get your son back home too after living with her for a while if she isn't very reasonable. LOL
