My mom was the same way with Starla. While Starla didn't exactly "move" into my mom's house, she always said that there was NO way that a dog would be allowed in her house. Now Starla sleeps with my mom in her recliner whenever we visit. This past Christmas my mom even said to me, "If you would have told me a year ago that one day I would spend almost 50 bucks on Christmas presents for a dog, I would have told you you were crazy!" She buys more toys for Starla than we do---well I guess we don't NEED to, because she's pretty much cornered that market.
