I don't intend on giving up on her like my mother has. The only reason my mother agrees to keep her for half the week is because of the risk of me getting found out by the apartment complex. I already have two cats in the apartment. Not sure how much trouble I'd get in for having a dog but my mom agrees to paying any fines I might be charged with if I'm caught with Aurora.

I have a lot of patience with dogs as I realize they don't understand on the same level as we do with most things. She comes with a crate and it is of good size. She has room to move around and sleep comfortably. We are going to be getting a baby gate to confine her to the kitchen during those times we are not home. As far as my mom can see, she doesn't jump so we shall see.

As for the peeing from excitement, she will even pee while sitting. I don't think she even knows she's doing it.
