My friend knows how very deeply I love my animals and found/rescued Snickers and gave her to me.
My husband does not love animals deeply, he loves model trains and spends thousands on them and most of his time as well.
This is not the first time I have been forced to give up an animal by him. I "had to get rid of the rats" if I wanted to keep Snickers and now it's her he is going to force me to give up and yes he is serious.
Snickers has been passed around like the perverbial hot potato, this is the third "home" she has been in that I know of. In the last one she was crated a majority of the time, nights, meals etc...
My husband is really very selfish and self-centred, my son and I are not a priority....and no I am not happy but I've nowhere to go.

WOW What a very sad way to live.
