I am happy to see you are not part of our throw away society pets are our four legged kids , but then not all kids get a fair shake in this world just watch the news. my 2 dogs and cat are family I wouldn't dream of tossing them out , you work to solve the problem my boys were not always easy to understand when they went through there teen years but we hung in there and have 2 great adult sons. I am sure you will work out this problem out .
