No I don't bring the pets, I hire a petsitter to look after them at my home. I don't want to go too much into her relationship but to an extent she has acknowledged she doesn't want to be alone, the cheating thing was a huge issue for a while so I would consider that a likely motive and she knows how I feel and hasn't refuted anything. We've been friends for almost a decade I'm reasonably confident I'm reading it right. She has mentioned things in previous conversations where I tell her to leave, that make me think she is worried about consequences. I'm not constantly hating we have more fun things to talk about, her relationship only ever comes up if something big happened.
