OT rant -- Stupid Ex hurt Mercury!
Mercury got his poor little "ankle" (front paw) injured by my stupid, stupid
ex-husband. It'll take a piece of metal and two screws to put it back together again -- which means arthritis. And it was so, so stupid! STOO-PID! He and I've had a zillion dogs together -- we first had pets in 1978. He's almost-always had a (stupid!) truck (enclosed bed). He was the designated Lifter-of-Dogs off the tailgate, as he was taller and stronger than me. (As any fool knows, if you let dogs jump off a 4WD truck, which is unusually high, they can hurt themselves.) He was always really bad at lifting them -- inattentive could be the perfect word for it. They'd flip and jump and he wouldn't be paying much attention to them, or securing them -- it used to make me sick to watch. Spines, legs.....augh! If I told him once, I told him a million.........! So he was at the vet -- taking Mercury, the Best Dog, to get a dental cleaning and shots. He was (admittedly. Admittedly!!) not paying attention. Merc saw a cat (it's the VET! There are other animals! Pay *attention*!!) and got too eager and the Idiot Ex loses control of him. He landed on the paw and it ripped....the soft tissue gave way. (You can't tell me it hadn't been injured, bit by bit, from all the OTHER times the Ex hadn't controlled this situation.) I realize it may sound like I'm being unreasonable, but -- I've seen him do this so many times. Ex Boy gets back there and he wants to Be Cool, so he's careless about it. I wonder about my role in all this -- with all the haranguing I've done about this one particular action (or inaction), I figure the Stupid Ex resists being as careful as he should be, just because he hated hearing me nag him about it (I am SUCH a horrible bitch). Even though I've been gone for years. DUH! DuhDuhDuh!!! You bloody idiot!! Goddammit. Mercury has an appointment with a surgeon tomorrow, and has been wearing a splint that has his forepaw en pointe (the Ex wasn't careful enough, and the splint had to be replaced already because it got wet. goddammit!). By the way, this happened over a week ago, and I only heard about it TODAY. The forepaw moves in such a way that it's obvious the soft tissue just simply isn't attached anymore -- it tore completely through. This idiot won't allow me to just simply keep Mercury myself. I offered to take Merc and promised Ex Boy would never hear from me again. Oh, nooooo. That way he can't make me miserable. God DAMMIT. This just makes me sick. It was so, so unnecessary and so STUPID.

Oh Sooz, that's awful, i'm sooo sorry this happened. It always hurts me when people
mistreat animals, but ooooh, that's just inexcusable. Good gravy. Praying that Mercury heals quickly and completely.

Well
since he allowed the injury- I'd be guessing HE IS PAYING THE VET BILL why can't you tell him you aren't letting him have the dog - if it was a court order, tell the court he's a BAD PARENT.... and get "custody!"

Sooz,
I'm so sorry to hear about Mercury. We have had dogs since we moved to Austin, so for about six years. In that time we got a lab and I broke her leg in less than 24 hours after bringing her home. She jumped out of the back of my Montero. It was a freak accident. I immediately rushed her to the vet and she was casted for months while she grew. It hurt me so bad to know that she was hurting. I still baby her a lot since I feel responsible. My ex only uses my children against me. I can understand the GDit! "Dr. Sooz" wrote in message ...

HE IS PAYING THE VET BILL You'd guess right. why can't you tell him you aren't letting him have the dog - if it was a court order, tell the court he's a BAD PARENT.... and get "custody!" Because dogs are seen as property in the eyes of the law. And we have joint ownership in the divorce agreement.

I know you'd take Merc's place if you could.
My sympathies to both you and him. I agree, it would be so much less aggravating if you could just keep him with you. Deirdre On 20 Aug 2003 00:06:00 GMT, uppies (Dr. Sooz) wrote: This just makes me sick. It was so, so unnecessary and so STUPID. Arrrggghhh!!!! ~~ |
