eskieL, you're making lots of progress, getting closer and closer. You will have so much more freedom when you only have yourself to worry about and not his finances. I hope he is taking good care of those dogs and can find them homes. If he is so broke and can't afford gas, it seems like he might skimp on dog food, etc., and other dog essentials.

You're doing a great job of protecting yourself by refusing to co-sign on the loan. You're doing all the right things.
