Regardless of how out of joint your nose is about the dog, I would let W have the dog for a while. Does it make any sense? Nope. And it doesn't really matter either way.
Be the bigger man here and allow her to have some time with the dog. This is how she feels connected. Why would you want to deny her this small amount of 'happiness' with the dog?
Just do it, bud.
Its not a case of being that upset about the dog sitch to be honest, nor am I holding the dog ransom in any way to punish her. Thing of it is the dog requires pills everyday, he is old and his hips are bad, deaf, and the cataracts have him just about blind. I do not think she can care for him, her memory is not one I trust where the dog would get his medication daily, nor can she lift him in the car, up the stairs, etc.
Her place will not be any better suited for him than mine. Its not about making her suffer ... its about not having the dog suffer. If I felt her would be better off with her I would do it in a heartbeat, with her actions this could easily be forgotten in 12 hours once she feels better. My move is still a month away, nothing needs to be decided now, but I am leaning more towards the "Thanks for the offer but no thanks" approach.
