Oh, Sooz, I wish there were something I could do. You and Merc are in my thoughts. Sending some positive vibes your way to use as best needed.

Why is it a conflict of interest for Kevin? Is he working for somebody that represents your ex-husband in some way? So much that he can't give advice or recommend a lawyer/advocate who can represent your case? I can see not actually representing you in court-- that's sort of like dr's not treating family members; not conflict of interest exactly, but I don't remember what it is called.... Do you still have contact with whoever handled your part of your divorce? If they aren't close enough and/or aren't willing to take your case now, maybe they would have recommendations.

]Yes. If I were the doc I think I'd want to know that...

**grin** and it's been so long, i forgot. the poor nurse who was sitting with her when she had her wisdom teeth out almost freaked, poor thing.

i did remember to warn them when she had her tonsils out, tho. but in that case, i think she felt like they deserved it.

]I know I wouldn't go to court. Yep, I wrote would not. I'd just keep Merc ]and let your evil Ex make the next move. Let him go to the expense and ]trouble of trying to get Merc back. In all likelihood, he'll find out that ]it's very expensive and probably futile to file a court case.

i really, really like the way you think, Kathy!

Love you, darling, but the vibes are coming. I can spare some for poor dear Merc and for your frazzled self. Let's just keep them circulating amongst all who need them, sort of a traveling vibes package.

You know, you could always hide him amongst us. We could have us a little underground doggie railroad!

This is so true. It's like the laws that apply to everyone else don't apply to them.

I'm still praying and sending healing vibes to Merc, and calming vibes to you, Sooz. In addition, I'm sending "watch this dog properly or I'll hunt you down" vibes to your former spouse.

He really doesn't want to deal with me in Barracuda Mode.

Yes, and as we keep passing the vibes, they grow stronger and more positive and healing.

Yes. I think you are right on in your assessment here, tho it sucks that it works this way. I will pray that your ex gets bored and busy and "dumps" Merc on you. (try not to look ecstatic if he does) Sarajane

It sounds practical to me, and focused on a good outcome re: the health of the dog.

When your filters are down, there is no question about it: Anyone who participates in a process that hurts you that bad really does deserve to get slugged... and there are no inhibitions against assault in your psyche at the time to stop the impulse.

Yeah. I agree. Money can get used up, physical and mental energy can get used up... but vibes go on forever. And you don't end up with a deficit if you give them away... IMO.

Ah. I understand what you are saying. However, what one court orders, another can modify or reverse. But it is more difficult than just making a new agreement among the affected parties.

that must have been it!

**grin** as wiry and strong as Jamie is, tying her hands just before she wakes up is probably a good precaution.

I was thinking the same way... really.

do you think he wants (or his new wife) wants to spend money to try to get the dog back...

next time - keep the dog. do not deliver for "visitation" if he comes to get dog - do not open the door...plain and simple. If a sheriff shows up - you don't have to give the dog to him .... make ex pay -- and pay and pay.. I bet it isn't worth it to him....
