I'm guessing I was a bad boy, and was making assumptions. It sounded like P was angry, and intentionally leading me to believe she'd put the dog down.

My thoughts were probably also influenced by an e-mail she'd sent about the settlement. It sounds like she wants me to give up all of my equity in the house (downpayment + 1/2 appreciation) so she can purchase it at the value of the remaining mortgage. My entire life's savings is now gone and we have a lot of debt. I'm having trouble with the thought that she came into the marriage with nothing but a little debt while I had a lot of savings, but now she apparently wants all the equity in the house and I'm in debt.
