Wow, people online are awful. I'm sorry for your daughter's loss.

People can be very cruel - I'm sorry you and your daughter have had to deal with that.
How are things going with the dogs? Still good?

That is not a should. The dog is rehomable. Or OP could take the dog and make it work. Or the DD could take the dog without informing the apartment management. There are solutions.
Would you like to provide your contact information to the OP then so you can take the dog? Clearly OP and her DD have been doing everything within their power to find this dog a new home. They haven't yet been successful. Unless you can take the dog or know of someone who can absolutely take the dog pipe down!
dp you have epic reading fail, pp. Also, your argument is highly flawed. I take care of my responsibilities, that does not mean we need to take on others if they can not do a good job. But obviously the op and her dd have a happy story!
And btw this is how threads like this work..people ask for advice and then gasp! People respond. Maybe the person who should have "piped" down is you.

OP says that it's working well so far, having both dogs in her home. It's a really happy development. I feel so relieved for her, her daughter, and the dogs.

Awww, so happy to hear this OP. Fingers crossed that it continues to go well. When I read the early posts I agreed with the suggestions to kindly euthanize, but this is great to hear. Good job OP, for this kindness to the dog, and to your daughter!

The 23:25 poster is not me. I think that was an oddly worded suggestion from someone who hasn’t read the updates.
The dogs briefly played this morning. I didn’t think that would ever be possible. The behaviorist suggested I take a video the next time and send it to her to make sure it’s just play. The body language was happy.

Are you the op? Because the op said it was going well...
OP here again. She hasn’t made a half-hearted charge at him since Monday. We’ve made good progress! My dog snuck away when I was cooking yesterday, and I found them both napping on the couch. Her anxiety level is way down.

I have one more recommendation. Collar Direct has a leather, American Staffordshire muzzle that fits the wide/short snout, and it doesn’t press on her eyes. She kind of looks like Hannibal Lecter, but doesn’t seem to mind wearing it at all.

Maybe? She will be 11 by then, and I don’t know if she will live that long, or if it’s fair to add the stress of moving her to another state at that stage of her life.

It does carry some risk, but she said she would be honest if she thought this was too risky to continue. She decided it wasn’t. I have some training exercises I need to do with them. She will need to be muzzled on joint walks because of the potential for being reactive and/or attacking my dog if she gets set off by encountering another animal.
I travel back home with them tomorrow. Hopefully, the new environment isn’t too stressful for her. I have the rest of the week off, and will be there to help her adjust.
The behaviorist was great. If anyone is looking for one, I give a whole-hearted rec for Instinct! Her advice was practical and easy to follow.
That sounds excellent. Good news for everyone and one less thing for your DD to worry about.
