My parents are THE BEST PARENTS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. Not only are they letting me live in their house, but the first 6 weeks are free, AND they're giving me space in their part of the house for a sitting room (tv, computer, couch), AND mom helped me pack yesterday AND they both came over and helped move a pile of stuff today AND mom has done a bunch of my dirty laundry AND as if that weren't enough? My dad made me an apple pie.

So, I'm sad and I cry when I think of leaving the puppy, and I don't let myself think of the end of the relationship, but I'll be OK.
