After a plea to allow him to live out his life with us here on the homestead (he's 12 years old now), where he can have 24/7 care, she declined us, and not in a friendly way.
He's getting lots of treats this week, and lots of love from us. She's coming to move out her belongings and moving her dog with her. He will have to climb apt. stairs (which he cannot) and will be left alone for hours and hours while she goes to work. It's just sad. He won't get good exercise, and the attention he'll need. His back legs shake now when he's out to do his business, which goes to show, he can't handle stairs.
He can't stand being left inside while I'm in the garden and will bark to be out with me. Hubby is his best friend too. When Hubby gets home from work, he goes directly to him and wants to get love from him the entire night.
We can't do a thing about it. Well, we could hide him and call Judge Judy, but that's not happening. Hubby has a feeling that after a short time, she'll get tired of caring for him, or want to be out partying and get tired of him. We can only hope he'll be returned. I have more kids rooting in our favor too.

You must put your foot down and insist he stays. Let her get a new dog from the pound. This is so unkind to an elderly dog. He would be better put to sleep than put through such miserable trauma. Sorry to be so emphatic, but it’s not right. Ann T

The poor old boy needs to be where he is loved and safe.
If he was going to a loving ideal home then OK. But he isn't poor love.
Daughter or not!!
Belongings and property yes, dog no.
