Emotionally devastated and could use some kind words..OT

I am studying to be a vet and my pets are my world..

My ex and I got 2 dogs when they were 7 and 8 weeks old, my Boxer mix Smokey and my Rotti Caesar. I raised them as brothers. I did everything with those dogs, the beach, parks, playdates...Smokey is a little aloof but Caesar was always my shadow, guarding the tub faithfully when I would bathe.

My ex and I broke up after almost 6 years together. He demanded we split up the dogs and he take C. The dog was a gift to him but I cared for them both and my name was on all the paperwork, vet info, etc. But I thought it was the right thing to do so he took the dog..I felt guilty for turning down his engagement and hoped this would soothe his heart.. 

Him taking Caesar has tortured me since it happened 2 and a half years ago. I have dreams about him and wake up crying.. I repeatedly asked for the dog back, offering him financial compensation into the thousands if he would let me come get the dog..Afterall, he was out of work and got a bipolar girl pregnant 3 months after we broke up and had a big legal fight with her in front of him and then impregnated another girl 6 months later. With spotty work and 2 baby Mama's and debt up to his eyeballs and getting laid off I figured he would maybe send the dog knowing C could get better care with me.

Always the answer was no...

I found out tonight that he had to move unexpectedly, told his aunt he would call me to come get the dog, and then gave the dog to some stranger. I asked his aunt and brother to contact him because I dont have any way to and I offered money, money for shipping, money to reimburse the person who took the dog, I offered to fly out tonight and get the dog. This is an 8 year old Rotti BTW.

He said no. Nope. "He is in a better home than hers" I live in a 375K townhome with a yard in fricking suburbia with dog parks everywhere, not to mention I work at one of the best veterinary clinics in the world..I spend an inordinate amount of time with my pets..we have playdates, dog walks, fundraisers..

My heart is broken AGAIN, I feel the pain I felt when he took him the first time. I HURT.

I cant believe this..

What a jerk.  There is no way for his aunt to try and find out who he gave the dog to. Maybe you can put an ad in the paper in both the area he moved and the last place he lived.  I really hope you find him and get him back.
Hugs

So sorry Sassy!  What a jackass!  Maybe you should track down call the people he gave them to and tell them your story.  Maybe they will help you out?  He must still be a tish bitter huh!  Wish there was something I could do to help!

He obviously has done this just to hurt you, because he knows the amount of pain it causes.

My advice... and as an animal lover, I'm not even sure I could follow it... but try to just let go of it. It's holding you prisoner. He's holding you prisoner--2 1/2 years later. Sometimes we have to let go of things we can't change or control, hard as it may be, and just move forward.

So sorry for the pain in your heart.

 I could not agree more.  This is the guy's only hold he has on you, and he is milking it for all it is worth.  I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry to hear that  it sucks!  to say the least!  Is there any way you can contact the new owners to see if they will part W/ him!  They have no emotional ties to him yet.  It sounds like your ex...is just tryin' to hurt you......unfortunately he is succeeding....and I'm sorry for that.  I hope things will work out for you....go hug your baby...Smokey.

JIMBO...  350lbs! lost!.....  TRIPLE CENTURY CLUB!!  HELL ...YEAH!

Thanks guys, I was considering some other avenues to contact the new owners, he wont give up the number but I have other ways (to the person who the ad idea-i like the way you think)..

And maybe FGLC is right, I may just have to give this one up to a higher power- and hope that maybe he is in a better home than with my jerko** ex...

And yes, I am sure this was done to hurt me, as the final act of a very selfish person..

P.S. When I have kids it will be with a sperm donor cause I cant handle this again...Now accepting applications.
