Card29 IX - New Year, New Card

[Card29]

I have a bit of a quandary to figure out regarding my living situation. A perfect short-term (7 months) apartment opportunity has opened up. A colleague is in Europe until August, and he has offered for me to stay there for a very low rent, like 1/3 of what I would pay anywhere else. It is also in a great spot, and would be a great fit for D2. The only problem is that there are no pets allowed, and WAW and I are sharing two dogs. I really don't even want the dogs anymore - I would have never taken a dog if I knew I was going to be in a yard-less apt, alone with a 2 yr old. I love them but right now I don't have the proper time or energy for them. I've decided that if WAW somehow reconcile, I definitely want to keep them, but if we don't, I will look for new homes for them, UNLESS I find the absolute perfect living arrangement on my own (renting a house with a fenced yard, or something).

In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to make this apt work while keeping the dogs for the time being. I just don't see how it's going to work, though. WAW could keep them at least half of the time, but the other half, they'd have to stay at my mom's house, and I'd have to somehow go there three times a day and walk them. Not feasible.
