It's gonna be a little sad when the pup has to go. He added variety to the place. That, and L&T plus Puppy makes a lot of sense to me. Plus Linda smiles more.
If the issue is no pets there, then move them to a bigger place with a 2 year contract, RLC, and quit goofing around. If it is L and T's decision, then ok. Not sure why they would do that.
