I would ask him if you could have them or if you could buy them back. If he doesn't agree, then I would take him to court if you feel you are now able to care for them. Obviously, you were in no position to take them at the time you left, and I'm sorry you and your family had to go through that. Don't steal them...you don't want to end up in jail if he decides to press charges. The whole idea of stealing them just isn't right.

Surely, you would have a right to get them back since your husband broke your neck, and you were unable to take them because of that. I'm sure you have evidence of that, so talk to your ex-husband about it. Try to make him see that 6 kids and 2 yorkies and a girlfriend who may not have time for the dogs isn't a very smart idea. Tell him you will talk to a lawyer about it. At least that's legal. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Edited to add: Are the dogs registered? If so, whose name are they in? That could make a difference.
