Gabs was my world. I got her as a baby and we shared nearly 6 years together. However, when my son had his 2nd heart surgery, my close friend offered to look after her until my son recovered. Since Gabby knew and loved him, I didn't see the harm and truth be told, I was grateful for the offer. She was quite needy and leaving her alone in an ex pen all day and into the evening wasn't ideal for her.

2 weeks later I started asking for my dog back and he started avoiding me. Eventually he wouldn't take my calls, return my texts and when I went to his house, he refused to answer the door. It was pretty messy. We ended up in court over it. First he lied and said I gave her to him and then said the dog ran away (Gabby was WAY too clingy to run away). In the end, the best I got were what the courts considered "damages" and he got my dog. The pictures his daughter posts on her facebook is proof that she didn't 'run away' to anything other than another room.

Needless to say it's a pretty sore subject for me. My avatar is her picture. I'm still quite bitter and I'm secretly hoping hell claims what's left of his soul.

Darn! That opened Pandora's box didn't it? If Soph ever needs dogsitting I'll be going through my trusted vet or a kennel. These dogs are so cute they can make some of the most honorable people into thieves!
