    Definitely take her, one more won't make that much difference! That's what I always tell my husband, anyway... :p

    When I split up with my ex he kept our two dogs - one was 'mine' and one was 'his' but they doted on each other, so I didn't want to separate them even though it was awful leaving her. A couple of weeks later I couldn't bear it any more and called him to say I was coming to get her, but he told me he'd taken her to the RSPCA a few days after I left because she was pining for me and had started barking all the time and chewing things, so he didn't want her anymore (real reason: to get back at me for leaving). It broke my heart to think of my poor girl confused and all alone in that horrible place so I got straight on the phone to tell them I was coming to get her, but they said she'd already been rehomed and there was nothing they could do to get her back - they wouldn't even pass my number on to the people that had taken her. I put a notice in the paper asking for her new owners to contact me and let me know she was OK, but nobody ever replied. That was six years ago, so she'd be 10 now, and I still think about her every day, wondering if she's being looked after properly and if she's happy. I end up in tears over it quite often, I really wish I could go back and take her with me :(

    Right..... today.... was planning to drag 3 cats (Fiona, Phoebe - my daughter;s girls) and Macius the baby to the vets.

    The girls for their booster, Macius for his first.

    Was pulling my hair out trying to gigure the best bus route with 3 cats in 2 baskets and 2 busses each way when got an sms/call from Paddypaws offering us a lift - wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Paddypaws the life saver :)

    Took Teddy with us too, his vaccinations did not include leukemia so done this for him today, girsl got their boosters and Macius got his first. In 3 weeks time got to take Macius and Teddy for their second (Teddy second leukemia, Macius second full).

    In between today and 3 weeks later got to take Fred and George for their boosters....

    I better check when Zara's boosters are due...- well, at least do not have to CARRY Zara.. sigh.....
