Her new roommate doesn't like dogs. It's done!

She said she will bring in his medical records tomorrow. I've been carrying my checkbook with me all week. I told her I could pay her today, but she said she's going to search for all his veterinary care. I have a feeling I may be negotiating tomorrow, but I think I'm in a better position now that we both know she can't keep him. So maybe it worked out for the best!

I'm so thrilled, my little angel is sleeping on my desk as I type! :D

Yes, I am totally photo challenged. I think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't upload pictures to the web regularly. Most of my friends have pictures of him and I don't! I will get some asap though, because it's wrong not to show off such an adorable dog!

His name is another 'nother matter that I think I'll start a new thread for.

Thanks, everyone! I am really happy. I think I appreciate my boy more now that I thought I might have to give him up.

Okay, the plot thickens. She told me in confidence today that she is planning to relocate to New York next month. No one at the office knows. I guess originally she didn't feel like she was totally giving him up because I bring him to the office and she still gets to play with him. Now that she's going to New York, she realizes she won't see him at all.

She proposed that I keep him for a few months while she settles in New York, and then I guess she'll decide whether or not she wants him back. I'm thinking about saying yes, and then keeping him either way. Before, I was very concerned about causing tension in the office, but if she's leaving, there's not much connection there.

I have to say, it never occurred to me this would happen. I probably wasn't very smart about the price, but one the other hand, I knew that I was very bonded with this dog and that we are compatible.

She says that she knows it's selfish to keep him and that she would not be giving him the life he deserves. And honestly, a New York winter day would turn him into a dogsicle within minutes. He has to wear a sweater in San Francisco! And the tiny apartments in New York... I'm floored. I lived in New York for many years, and I know it takes a lot more work to care for a dog there than it does in NorCal.

On the other hand, I knew she wasn't super-responsible to begin with, given that she didn't take great care of him, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised at how she's handling this.

I'm still worked up, but I think it's probably going to turn out okay... I hope.

Here's another thought. Let her go with the idea that she can figure out if she wants him later. Wait a little while and than send her a check for the purchase price with "payment in full for yorkshire terrier named..." or something like that. She will need the money and probably cash the check and that will be the end of that.
