Hi everyone,
This is quite a sensitive subject.
I took in my dog from my partner's ex-girlfriend, who had her from when she was a tiny puppy. She eventually handed her over to my partner.
When I first came into her life, the dog was being kept in a cupboard (about 3ft by 2.5ft) in the dark. She was skin and bone and very wary. She could only go to the toilet on the flat's balcony, and I could see she wasn't comfortable doing it there.
I've invested so much in this dog; even before I was with my partner, I used to take her out. The first time I took her out to do her business, her poo was full of worms...
She was 3 years old and had never been microchipped or vaccinated. My partner's ex left and left her with him. I bought her some good quality dry food, took her out all the time, and she got back into shape and learned to trust people again, but she’s always been very scared of my partner.
I insisted my partner take her to the vet for her vaccinations, microchipping, and worming treatment, and I paid the bills. But here's the thing – I made a massive mistake and let him put her in his name...
Now I'm in the middle of splitting up with my partner. If I wasn't there, he’d be capable of forgetting to give her food and water for several days in a row, or choosing to go out with his mates instead of taking her for a walk.
Does anyone have a solution so I can get the microchip put in my name? He knows perfectly well how much this dog means to me and he won't hesitate to use that to mess me about...
Thanks in advance.
