My exH is an ass and now I'm bummed.

Why not fight it?

He is legally obligated and is in breach of your agreement.

I'm sorry mp, I'd be heartbroken at being separated from one of my dogs. 

[sequins]

What an ass. Do you get to meet your dog?

[livinitup]

A letter writing campaign wouldn't cost much.

There are many ways to "fight ".

Dude, I'm not gonna lie. It BLOWS.

After we separated and he had his one pup, he made it clear that "the dogs were always YOUR thing, mp. They're not important to me anymore." I just can't even begin to comprehend that.

 Ugh, that makes him getting custody of one of them even worse.

Nope. The last time I saw him was a little over a year and a half ago.

  I do not like him. He does not deserve the dog.

Because the amount is so low that it would cost more to deal with than to actually get the money - and it's an amount per dog... and let's face it Stinky won't last much longer.

I feel at this point my sanity is worth more than fighting it.

Really?  How low?

Small claims fees start as low as $30 and increase depending on the amount in controversy.  I believe the highest fee is $75.

Perhaps you are not vindictive like I am.  I'd take him to small claims court, get the money he owed, get interest on that money, get the fees that I had to pay to file the claim, get the costs of my transportation, and additional money for my time, effort, and suffering.

No advice, but I'm sorry he's an ass. You and your dog deserve better. But I can see how the cost to your sanity could be greater than the strict monetary value you're out. I hope you at least have confidence the dog is well cared for ... and I wish you had a mutual friend with your xh you could trust to dognap him for you!

I'm sorry mp

[berbles]

I'm so sorry. I definitely commiserate w/r/t exes and dogs

We are still friendly and both agreed to "weekend sleepovers" with the dogs we each have. But I can't bring Tweeter to my house because my ex can't seem to get the fleas under control. After I let him have Roxy for an extended weekend, he literally put her in my arms and said, "Oh she probably has fleas now." DUDE. I live with a 2 year old. I can't be infesting my house with fucking fleas.

He did the same thing with our cats, who had to stay with him until I found my own place.


ETA: I miss Tweeter so much.  I haven't even seen him since last summer when we were searching for Hurley.     He's 14.     </3

[motzie]

He stole your Frenchie?!? Fuck that guy.

Not to be too creepy, but I think about your dog situation every now and then. Do you still think the guy taking down the signs has the dog? I do, and I hope he burns in hell. I'm sorry you never got him back.

Aww, not creepy.  

I don't think that guy took my dog.  We did finally figure out that he was known by the local PD to be a vigilante code enforcer.  One of those guys that's constantly calling in bullshit rule infractions to the PD and they just roll their eyes.  XH did tell the police he spoke to that the guy appeared to have stolen a city vest and they said they would try to catch him for that.  But I don't think he has my dog.

Okay. He's off my shit list ... and on my nutters list.

[pantsoffdanceoff]

I'm sorry. This really sucks!

[FastHands]

A frenchie named Odie?! I waaaaant him.

[flamingeaux]

I wonder if he'd be willing to trade you, your frenchie for not being dragged through court, for nonpayment.

Heck yes. It's probably weird to have a favorite of your dogs mp, but thanks to his original name and general old man demeanor, he is my fave.

I am pretty sure he's everyone's fave of my pups. My faves alternate - because I'm a good mom - Stinky is DEFINITELY the cutest. haha

We used to have a joke in my house.  We had three dogs.  Some like Tweeter the best, some liked Roxy the best, but EVERYONE agreed that Hurley was their 3rd favorite.  Mean, but true.  She was hard to love.  One of XH's BFFs started calling her NLH: nobody likes Hurley. LOLawww.
