Way Too Late Pt 3

[Painter]

Sorry, should have clarified that I meant through your own L, with a repeated request to get your dog.

If you're concerned about whether your dog is going to make it 90 days, I wouldn't worry too much about trial strategy. If it's so obvious that she doesn't know how to take care of the dog, her L should be able to tell her that she doesn't stand much of a chance in court and will lose credibility with the judge which will jeopardize her other claims. Once the judge thinks you're a liar, it's hard to turn that around, from what I've observed.

Also, if this is her 'therapy dog', I would document that she left it with a sitter to go on that trip you mentioned!

I wouldn't get into too much detail about how the certifiation came about - you don't want to look like you participated in that.

Is there an incentive you can offer to entice her? Do a whip & carrot thing?

You can always run it by your L and see what he thinks.
