Hellhound
While I've been away from home with work this week, Luna has decided to reside at Chez Le Pound.
The timeline: I left home Sunday, Hellhound bolted from the kids on Monday, the kids finally grew the balls to tell me she was missing on Thursday and we phoned the local SPCA to find her today (Friday). I return home tomorrow with my flight landing roughly fifteen minutes before late check out at the Chez. I'm thinking of rounding her stay out to a full week.
I'm not a bad pet owner, The Ex is. This dog is his dog. However, while he lives the glorious life a world traveler, I get to feed her, pick up her crap, brush her and, now, post her bail. While The Ex is in the country, he takes Hellhound for visitations and treats her like her place is somewhere above The Thirteen Goddesses of Greek Mythology. Nice for her; major behaviour problems for me when I get her back.
Naturally I have handled this in my usual reactive fashion and fired off an email to The Ex filled with reprisal and loathing. Because that's worked so well for me in the past.
I must admit the only thing I would have done different is tell him in the email that hellhound was still in jail and he had to come back to post the bail and get her himself. Really make him sweat it a bit.
