There is a no on one end and a yes on the other. Kayla and Caroline are on the yes end, and D (dad) and M (mom) are in the middle. 
Andy shocked all of us on Saturday morning by moving the D and the M to the yes end of the chart. I was at a scrapbooking retreat all weekend. When I came home this is what I found:
This dog, Elfy, comes on loan to us from Aunt Jenny. I knew they were trying to find her a new home. Andy and I had been talking about it. We both agreed we should probably just try it. Otherwise, he and I would discuss it forever and Kayla would never get a dog. I just did not know he had made arrangements to meet his sister this weekend.
I said that she is on loan. I explained to Kayla this monring that we were going to try it out, but she may have to go back to Aunt Jenny. I am just not sure that I am a dog person. Do you ever get used to the smell? And I am not sure that our house is big enough for her. She is much bigger in this little house than she was at Aunt Jenny's house. Jenny said to give it a week to ten days, so that is what I will do. I promise I will try my best Jenny! Wish us all luck.

Congratulations! I hope she works out for you!
Once she settles down a bit, she'll be easy. She just needs lots of outdoor play time. Also, Febreze works great for the smell:) Good Luck!!
She can also spend time outdoors. As Sunni said, she needs lots of play time and it can be outside.
Yes, Febreze... that's what we use. I should have packed that in the box. Give it a good honest week and then we'll reevaluate. She is a good dog!!
Your in-law is obviously familiar with the "Puppy Dog Close" technique. It works very well, so you get used to the smell, I'm sure it will grow on you. :-)
