    f the place you're renting doesn't allow dogs ~ find another place that does. If your boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't like your dog ~ find another boyfriend or girlfriend.
    If you're moving out of state ~ be as loyal to your dog as he has been to you. Take him along with you.
    If you're not willing to commit to a dog for ALL of his life ~ DON'T GET A DOG. If you STILL refuse to make it work ~ have the decency to reach out to a reputable rescue to intake your family .. their life depends on it. Literally.

    Boy yeah,

    I have friends who moved x country to CA this year from NY and they could take their dogs but had to re home the cats.

    My last move was a real hardship with my cat, he likes to yell...A LOT...

    They are chapters in our lives, but for them we are their entire book.

    I feel for you. I only had to worry about an old dog peeing in the
    house, spent the past two years monitoring his water intake and finally
    bought him diapers. He had marginal kidney function, wasn't much we
    needed to do except make sure he had lots of water to flush his system
    and take him for lots of walks. We bought him diapers, which he didn't
    mind at all, once we started calling them "pants".

    I'd be on a zoom call and ask off-camera, "Sam, where are your PANTS?"
    when he's slip out of them.

    The only advice I could give is to get them on a poop-cycle. Feed them
    in the morning and the evening, and take the food away after 10 minutes
    or so. They'll get used to eating when food is put down instead of
    grazing.

    Schedule regular, consistently timed walks, and try to get them pooping
    at the same time each day.

    Lastly, buy a portable Bissell carpet cleaner, they do wonders. I
    settled on a spot cleaner called Folex which seemed to to the best job
    at stains.

    Good Luck!

    Thanks for the Advice! My sister does Janitorial for a living, so we have a couple of carpet cleaners here at the house that do the job well enough. As for the feeding, I'll make note to bring it up when she comes back, she has the doggos out on a playdate out of town today.
