A good while back, I moved an old freind to FL. I told her if she ever wanted to come back, I'd move her back! This was before I got Adonis, much less Venus.

There is no way I can let this friend down, as she's 80 years old, and can't drive a U-Haul with a car attached to it.

My baby sister said she'd keep Adonis and Venus for me. I trust her fully, with my dogs and anything else. She's very dependable. But her live in bf may not be as "watchful" over Venus as he needs to be. I'm not sure I trust him much.

They have 3 big dogs, and have the collars on them that shocks them to keep them in the yard. The front yard is fully fenced. The back yard is kinda on the road and waterfront. Adonis loves to go visit, and play with the big dogs. I haven't taken Venus down there yet, cause she isn't fully potty trained.

I know I have to help my friend move, as she doesn't have children, or relatives to help her. I know my sisters is the best bet for leaving my dogs with. I know they'll be dang good to them. But I'm so afraid her bf will let Venus out the back door, and not watch her.

I don't want to leave them at the vets office, as they will be caged up the whole time they are there. And Adonis is used to my sister and her bf.

I can't take them with me, cause since I'll be driving a U-Haul back, and pulling a car, I'll probably be taking a greyhound bus down there. That way we won't have 2 cars stranded down there. I don't have anyone who has time to drive 6 hours to drop me off, and 6 hours back either.

I have another sister, but would not trust her with my dogs. She lives in an apartment, that isn't in the best nieghborhood.

My baby sis said "if you can, try to do this on a weekend", that way she'll be home to watch Venus closer. And she won't have to be crated so long.

I've also thought about leaving Adonis there with sis, and Venus at the vets office. Venus is almost 5 months old now. Just not sure how she'd take me leaving her there all alone. She loves Adonis soooo much, and they play together all the time.

Just don't know which way to go on this, and know when friend calls, I need to get moving to head down there.
