I'll try to tell the story from what I know. It turns out the woman's husband did actually die. The husband she's with now is her second one. The woman is beside herself with grief because she's had the dog so long and he was part of the family with her first husband and daughter. They supposedly had him inside and it wasn't until the petsitter started watching him that he became outside (really don't know if I believe this). They showed the vet records from March where he had 6 teeth extracted and he was neutered. The only reason they neutered him was his prostate was enlarged. Well, too little too late. The vet is almost sure he has the cancer. They were not aware of any of his other medical issues. It is on record that they told the vet about excessive urinating in the house and the vet told them it was territorial. That must be one awful vet. The people said that the petsitter was a liar and really hard to deal with. They kicked her out of their house and said they wouldn't allow her to watch him ever again. Their daughter from Dallas was willing to drive right down and pick him up today if I would surrender him back to them. I had to think about it and I asked CJ if she thought they were truly going to care for him. She said yes. She met them in person and believed that he would be inside with the daughter and she would get him treated medically. When the parents return from Japan in October, they will be done with traveling and he will probably go back with them. But they said he will be inside. If CJ feels they will take care of him, I trust her judgement. I started thinking of Dessi, my childhood dog, and what would happen if the situation happened to me. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I will make them sign a contract of ours. I'm going to add a clause about him being indoors only and that I may check their vet records at any time.
