Answer :

Everything you just said to us? Say to her. You like her, you want to be friends with her, but you need to live with someone who will enjoy living with a dog. You don’t want the dog to strain your friendship but are still a little bit hurt that you thought you’d be able to have your dog this year and she changed her mind once you signed the lease. Be honest and nice. There’s not much else you can do.
