Do they draw straws as to who gets custody?
Does the non-custodial pet lover get visitation rights?
Who gets the ashes of a long lost dog?
Who gets the dogs when there are 2 as the dogs would be best left together rather than separating them?

I got mine - there was no contest - he hated cats

but yeah you read about stories like that in the mags and it gets pretty nasty... sometimes the couples bicker and fight more over the animal and the children get neglected... but only in the states!!!innocent innocent

2 dogs and 2 cats I ended up with none, then slowly got 1 dog and 1 cat back but I had to give my daughter $200 for it.

I got the dog, but I had to fight even though the dog had been brought for a present for me.

He worked as a truck driver and there was no way he could look after her properly.He was allowed visitation rights but he never used them, so not sure why he wanted to keep the dog. Except maybe just as another possession.

It is a difficult and emotional issue as pets are every bit as much of the family as everything else

And they love everyone just as much with no preferences.

sounds like when I went to my ex's garage sale by defauly, it was her new boy friend's home, but on a good note, I managed to buy my Catweazel series back and some other lost treasures.

tonyxf: Not only that, but she took everything in the house, I was left with a single bed and a box for a bedside, then slowly bought some of the items she didnt want and I gave her the actual purchase amount, sort of paid for them twice. Then again it was 12 yrs ago and we're the best of friends. On f/bbok!


She's beautiful Tony - I can understand you wanting her back again...hug

You know you guys make me feel so bad -

Anything that came into this home pre 2009 belongs in this house - No ifs no buts - MrX wants his Papua New Guinea Glasses back, his clock that he got from attending a spillcon conference, his wooden boat - but nope, it's all stays here -

It was Bubbles it took me a good 5 years to come to terms with the loss of my animals don't miss the ex got over IT ... quickly.

I cried every time I drove past a horse property I still have my sad days and it is now almost 10 years I think animals are way better companions than people they love you uncondionally I feel guilty I had to let them go so I have guilt issues too but I couldn't afford them on my own sometimes life is cruel sad But we must move on and make the best of what we have.

I still grieve for my geese after all this time - I lost them to a pack a dogs a few minutes before I got home from a pandc meeting... My ex loved them just as much as I did - they were 3 weeks old and yellow, all fluffy - Jinx & Arnie - ex helped build a pen to keep them safe, then as they got older the little rotters didn't want to sleep in the pen they slept in the pool of light that the toilet gave off... Had them for 3 years, they were so close to maturity I was counting down the days till their birthday... people couldn't believe it when they saw me walking down a hill with 2 full size geeze under each arm - the girls just dropped to the ground and I had to carry them, when hanging out washing, they would rub my leg, so that I had to squat to give them a rub - after the dog attack I moved the girls to the land we had bought to build our home and buried the girls in the backyard..
So even though we lost our pets through different circumstances, I understand your loss and your grief...teddybear
