His two daughters are your niece. Their well being and happiness should always higher than any pet.
 
You would be nuts to do that. 1. Living with someone else is going to drive you nuts. 2. You will hate your family/friends involved when it's all done. Oh yeah, and they'll hate you to. Money and family/friends don't mix.

Their well-being and happiness would be better assured if they could learn how to handle themselves around an EIGHT POUND DOG. At 1 year old, my nieces could handle beagles that were MUCH bigger than they were.

But something tells me this is more about money than being scared of a football-sized dog.
 
What happens if someone loses their job? Can't pay. What happens if one or both of you get divorced? How do you think the court is going to deal with that situation?
 
Here's a story to ponder.

My wife bought her mother a car because she was down and out. Her mother was supposed to make all the payments on a "trust basis". Well, 4 months later, the car was repossessed and guess who got the screws put to them? That's right my wife and I. Now this was before we got married, but we were still paying it off after we got married, so my income paid off that fvck up too. We have nothing to show for the $8,000+ that we paid other than the IRS telling us this year that we owe taxes on the "forgiven debt" for the damn thing. Think about that when you go into this and if you think it's still a good idea, kill yourself..............okay, maybe don't kill yourself, but drink heavily and cry like a drunken baby or something before doing something like this.
 
i do this now in a much smaller house with a buddy. big recommendation from me is that A) you can get along and B) you sit down a few times, brainstorm every possibility of problems(payments, selling desicions, remodeling desicions, tax deductions, etc) write them down with a solution you both agree to, then make it a formal contract. you can get the closing place to notorize the document at the house closing. THis in essense just makes the gray areas that people most often get into arguments with and turns it into plain black and white. If you've discussed the potential issue before it happens and have both agreed to a solution you arnt going to have that problem later. It gives you something to fall back on if the poop hits the fan.
