My predicament is as follows:
I rescued a pit mix puppy 2 years ago where I go to school, but since I lived in the dorms, I could not keep him there and brought him to my mom's house. She reluctantly agreed to keep him, understanding that my intention was to take him back after I graduated.

Now that I have graduated and have my own house 10 hours from my mom's house, I'm fully prepared to have my pup back. Howeverrr, my mom has gotten really attached to him, and probably vice versa, and we have been debating A LOT as to whether or not I should take him. The only point she makes that actually makes me consider leaving him with her is that she would be goddamn lonely if he was no longer there. As a single woman, she made the point that I already have a "companion" (my boyfriend), but this dog is my mom's only companion. Now, that made me really fucking sad but I also REALLY WANT MY GODDAMN DOG.

So conflicted. Ugh.
