OT :-(........
He trusts my ex-husband and his wife to
take good care, and they don't. I can't let this go on. But they give everyone the IMPRESSION that they do......I should add. ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap.

I don't know what the conflict of interest would be for Kevin, and don't
really need to know. But I think the fact that Merc was badly injured with your ex should make a difference. He had promised to lift Merc down before and didn't do it. No matter what the reason, if he can't do it EVERY TIME from here on, Merc is is serious danger. Even intentions, which he might be able to fake, isn't good enough. Hasn't been good enough. If he can't demonstate that he can comply, as he has been unable to in the past, he must not care for Merc. Tina "Dr. Sooz" wrote in message ... I am in tears. I just talked to the vet/surgeon, and Merc has been crying all night (they have overnight staff) and all day. He is such a quiet, stoic dog -- not a crying baby -- and if he's crying through all the morphine....... It's killing me. I am reconsidering and may decide to go to court. This is breaking me in pieces. He isn't just a dog -- to me. He trusts my ex-husband and his wife to take good care, and they don't. I can't let this go on. Kevin can't really help me -- conflict of interest -- and he's on a desperate deadline right now. I gotta figure out what to do. ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap.

In article ,

I gotta figure out what to do. ~~ Why is it a conflict of interest for Kevin? Is he working for somebody that represents your ex-husband in some way? So much that he can't give advice or recommend a lawyer/advocate who can represent your case? I can see not actually representing you in court-- that's sort of like dr's not treating family members; not conflict of interest exactly, but I don't remember what it is called.... Do you still have contact with whoever handled your part of your divorce? If they aren't close enough and/or aren't willing to take your case now, maybe they would have recommendations.

Love you, darling, but the vibes are coming. I can spare some for poor dear Merc and for your frazzled self. Let's just keep them circulating amongst all who need them, sort of a traveling vibes package. Linda2 |

I know how it would be, but it might not be that Merc is in substantial pain.
I cry pretty much constantly on morphine, and I'm not feeling a thing. It's just something the drug does to me. Has the vet given you a plan for pain control once Merc is home? Good point -- though I seem to remember that dogs do stop crying after a few hours, from the years I worked for board-certified vet surgeons (and not just the regular kind of vet). The fact that he was crying for so *long*........ Anyway, Merc's going home with a pain patch. If he's going to cry, I hope he cries when he's with my Ex. I hope it's like fingernails on a blackboard. ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewelry."

I know I wouldn't go to court. Yep, I wrote would not. I'd just keep Merc
and let your evil Ex make the next move. I don't think it would go all the way to court. I think it would be him, me, and 2 attorneys in a room. And since Merc's an item, not a person, if I just took him and kept him, I could end up in jail -- or without rights to see Merc myself. He's a cop. He'd have other cops helping him out against his "insane" ex-wife (he's got my time in the psych ward to back him up). As for expensive -- well, I don't want to discuss that on Usenet. But that's something I'm mulling over........ ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewelry."

Not the best tactics, though. I have some better ones I've thought of since I
wrote my original post earlier. I know I wouldn't go to court. Yep, I wrote would not. I'd just keep Merc and let your evil Ex make the next move. Let him go to the expense and trouble of trying to get Merc back. In all likelihood, he'll find out that it's very expensive and probably futile to file a court case. In the years it would take to get a civil trial date, you can keep Merc with you and after such a long time, no judge would make you give him back. And your ex would keep spending and spending, because lawyers' bills accumulate, and I doubt his new wife would be thrilled to spend a ton of money to unsuccessfully retreive a ten year old dog from his former life. Mean and evil? yeah, probably. I'd still do it though. Kathy N-V ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewelry."
