Add your name to the petition to return the dogs to their rightful owner |
A deservedly ex husband arbitrarily gives away his ex's dogs for no reason other than to kick her when she is down.
Suffering from apparent delusions of grandeur he declares only certain select sentences from their divorce agreement binding. Disregarding her rights and magnifying his own position. Clearly stated in this agreement is her right to visitation. Its seems ironic that she should have to exercise this right since the dogs have never actually lived with him but have resided exclusively with her for the three years since their divorce (please read the letter that describes the circumstances leading to the dogs being in his possession). However now that he has behaved in a criminally reprehensible way it may be all that she has to try and get her dogs back. He incriminated others in his underhanded scheme by enlisting the aid of the breeder to place the dogs in another home. The breeder was not informed of the true ownership of the dogs and participated in an illegal act due to deception on the part of the vindictive ex-husband. No one contacted the woman until after the arrangements were made and the dogs delivered. Displaying many of the characteristics that lead to the divorce in the first place, this person believes that he has the right to make decision in behalf of the welfare of others without any regard for their rights or wishes. He dominates and dehumanizes others and places his will above all. He gets a thrill from the ability to hurt or crush another but is usually only able to abuse his limited power over those who are weaker or dependent on him such as a wife or a child or a subordinate or a dog. Thankfully carefully written divorce agreements protect the rights of dog owners in a divorce much the way they protect the rights of parents in a child custody issue. Children are frequently pawns in a war against an ex spouse, of course pets are not exempt. Thankfully, in this case his wife was wise enough to see the disaster that having children with this pompous dictator would be and took care to avoid pregnancy with him although her daughter from a previous marriage suffered during his reign. However he did use the one thing that he could to reach beyond the end of their marriage to try and punish her. In this case their dogs, Cheyenne and Teddy. It started with him insisting that he get legal custody (aka control) in the divorce agreement even though he never took them home or paid a dime for their vet bills or food. Thankfully his behavior constitutes contempt of court and he can be fined and or jailed for refusing to reveal the whereabouts of the dogs. Its a small comfort but it something. Because dogs are considered property, unless a visitation or custody agreement is built into the divorce, custody rights that apply to children do not apply. Dog owners beware! If you care about your dogs and you are dealing with a vindictive and cruel ex consult a lawyer familiar with pet custody issues. |

| Evil Dog sitter Gives Away Dogs | October 20, 2007 | |
| Read the October 25th article | As unbelievable as this sounds it is true. A man entrusted with dog sitting for while a woman is currently homeless between moves actually gave away her dogs without her consent. When the jerk called to inform he that he was giving away her dogs. Her tears of pain and confusion met with his stone heart as he refused to return them although she said she would come get them right away. This is the same man who 2 weeks earlier demanded she come and get them because they were ruining his house. This is the same man who insisted that he be given these dogs in their divorce settlement, and yet they never lived with him until when he was asked to help during this transition For three years since their divorce agreement the dogs have remained with the woman exclusively. Obviously this is simply a vindictive act. He will not return the dogs or tell her whom he intends to give them to. He planned this for weeks and even obtained their vet records for the unsuspecting new owner while never informing her. This cruel act is also a criminal one. This divorce agreement entitles her to visitation even if the dogs were in his custody, which they never were until his 'help' was needed. Can you imagine what child custody would be like with this person. Thank god they never had children. Below is a letter she prepared for a visit to her lawyer to try and find some relief from this horrible situation. |

I was going on vacation August 16-27. I asked Cracker* if he could dog sit while I was away. He agreed. I received a deposit on my home and the buyers wanted to close on August 30. While it was not convenient, I agreed to this date since my home had been on the market for over a year. Therefore, I asked Cracker* if he could continue to keep the dogs while I packed my house, moved and got settled. He agreed to this as well. On September 10, just 10 days after my move, Cracker* contacted me to see what my plans were. Because he wanted to know when he could return the dogs to me. I told him he should plan to have the dogs for the months of September and October while I worked out some financial issues and looked into housing options. Cracker* contacted me again on September 27 stating that the dogs were ruining his house because they were peeing all over it. At that point he demanded that I take the dogs back by Oct. 29. I told him I could not confirm because I still had not secured a new home. We had an argument. On Monday, October 15, Cracker* called to say that he wanted to discuss the dogs with me and I was not going to be happy about it. He said that he had found a family to take the dogs. I responded that he could not give my dogs away and called to see when I could pick them up. He informed me that he would not return the dogs to me because he didn't feel that I could provide them with a good home and he was giving them away because it was in the best interest of the dogs. Cracker* only had possession of the dogs from the 19th of August to October 15 (8 weeks) when he made a decision to give them away without my consent. The dogs have lived with me exclusively for the past three years since our divorce in December 17 2004. Cracker* did have the option in our divorce agreement to have the dogs live with him “when his living circumstances allowed”. Cracker's* living situation never allowed nor did he exercise his right to take custody of the dogs. In 2006 I was planning to relocate to
At that point I assumed he had relinquished his rights to custody. He made no attempt to visit or spend time with the dogs after that point. I am now pre-approved for a mortgage and plan to buy a home within the next few months. I just want my dogs back so they can live out the rest of their lives in a loving home with the only owner they have ever known. |
