That is my main concern. The kids have so much going on in their lives right now, I hate to shake it up any more. They are amazing kids and I don't want to see them unhappy.

Any opinion on the dog? We love her, she is a little over 1 year old. The kids like her some days and avoid her others. She eats as much as a horse and because she has to be crated when I am away I can't be gone too long. Plus, when he does get his own place, he won't be staying at the house when I work. She cannot be trusted out of her crate for that long with no supervision.
