W texts me telling me she could tell I was excited about the dog. I said ya, she will be a fun addition. She texted back that she will be nice for me to have around when the girls aren't with me.
Goodness gracious, give it a rest. I get the point W. I'm not even going to bother responding to that.

You could notice that she actually spent time with you at the animal shelter, and she reached out and contacted you about the dog and validated your decision to get a dog...
Not to be mean but she basically said to you exactly what you said to us, that the dog is a good fit for your lifestyle and will be fun to have around when the girls aren't there.
I know she didn't say, "Wow such a cute doggie, when we get back together I will love playing with her!"
but she also didn't say
"Good, now you have a dog to occupy your time so you don't bother me, since I have moved on in life and want nothing to do with you and you will be single forever", which is how it appears you took it...
I am thinking a few months back you prob would have just been glad that the two of you were able to have a pleasant conversation or text exchange...
Keep going on the exercise, it is a great stress reliever!
