Good to see you posting again, Yoyo. I've missed you. No, I don't think the girls should give up their pets. I'm not even sure that the last event wasn't staged for your benefit. The girls are close to being at an age when they will move out and take their pets with them. I think keeping the pets in the yard is enough of a compromise. Perhaps H will build them nice a nice dog house. Is there any proof he would move home even under the most ideal conditions? I think this is just another excuse to maintain the status quo which is the way he likes things.
