a year??????????

I'd say he oughta at least OFFER something for your time and care! Sheesh!

I still like the "legal or not" attempt at releasing him when his "owner" pays up!

I feel so bad for your pain.

You'd think that maybe he'd see how happy Bruiser is with you and your family, and realize that maybe, just maybe he'd be better off with you? In my opinion, I feel he is just being selfish, after all, you've had him now for what, a year? I know if it was my decision, I'd opt to let him just stay with you. But thats my opinion. Best of luck, I hope you get to keep your "guy" in the end.

Yes a year....... now you see why this is bothering me so much. He has became part of our everyday lives. He is part of my family.

I can't believe he thinks its perfectly okay to just pick him up....some nerve.

Thats all I am saying cause I will respect the fact he is your brother...but if this was like just an ex roomate or something....whew!


This would be a 2 page RANT!

Did you offer to get him a puppy? I understand keeping things clean, but I also understand the angle where you are coming from. A month would be one thing, but a year is something else completely.

Maybe take your nephew out to dinner (or lunch) on the day when he wants to pick up Bruiser. Someplace quiet where you can have a real heart-to-heart, just the two of you.

Or can you talk to his parents? Sometimes it's easier for a third party to step in to let someone know how illogical they are being.

Good luck! I know this can't be easy!!

I'm pretty sure feeding/caring for the dog for a year, in the eyes of the LAW makes the dog YOURS. Especially since you didn't have a contract stating otherwise.

Requiring him to pay for that time/care, essentially buy the dog from you, would probably be perfectly legal - and even if it wasn't I'd let him be the one to figure it out.

Possession is 9/10ths of the law. How could he legally prove the dog is his, if it's been living in YOUR house for all this time???

 

[tdgill]

yeah!

I am so sorry you were put in this situation. It is understandable that you are very upset. I know you love you Nephew, and that makes it that much harder. Try asking him if you can get him a puppy, he might say yes. Tell him how hard it will be on your kids and you. Plus the dog will be uprooted again, and that is not fair to the dog. I am sorry, but I think you already know what he is going to say.
