As a Mom of 2 "step-kids" that only come for visitation every other weekend, I make an effort to include them in everything that my kids do, too, and that includes pets. Yes, mine are younger than 14, but just because they aren't living with us doesn't mean they aren't an integral part of our family. My children live with us, and my husbands children live with their Mom. If getting more pets isn't an option, let her pick an existing pet in the house to lay claim to as her own.
