Bella is a yorkie & she may be just a bit older than Mary's Max - they have been raised together. Correct me if I'm wrong Mary.

I think anyone would say she is your dog. Your daughter never paid anything for her. She was a gift from her former boyfriend. I would say she gifted her to you when she left you with all the bills & expenses. Possession is also 9/10ths of the law. You've got the other percent more than handled with all the bills you've paid.

I would say don't let her go with your dd - she is what 18 or 19? This boyfriend probably isn't going to last either. But you want your relationship with your daughter to last. Is there anyone you could get to mediate the situation with you & your daughter? I think you need to get this resolved once and for all & get it in black & white. Someday 5 yrs or so from now when your dd has proven to you she is a responsible adult & thru school maybe you will be able to with a happy heart give Bella to her

Even the vet may be able to help you. Tell your dd that for her to start taking Bella - she will have to go with you to the vet & discuss Bella's need & care. Give the vet a heads up - and let your daughter pay for the office call!
