Re. the dog, I would take screen shots of all the texts and put them together in a document and print it out in 3 sets. I would then send one set to W's L and ask them to reconsider if they want to go to court over it.
Best of luck. I love my pets and I rely on them so much right now, it's cruel that she's doing this.
