Yes, we are leaving for Malta in the next month or two (unavoidably) and we cannot possibly take her there as we can't find any apartments that allow pets and most don't have gardens either, and she loves to roam outside. I posted a thread recently about her and the thought of leaving her really is breaking my heart. We have explored all the avenues and there is no way - believe me, we would never have taken her had we known that we would not be staying here. She is black, ten months old and a bundle of warm, affectionate, playful fun.
