Dug around and found this draft response from PigPen's thread if you are interested in the backstory on Woofie.

W,
Thank you for your email. Yeah, this isn't easy at all for all of us. A divorce isn't what I want, but I will not stand in your way.
Regarding Woofie, let's be clear here, I think it is important that we both have access to him and I would like to think that it's something that can be worked out fairly. I cannot imagine you not having Woofie around you nor him not being with me. It is inconceivable that one of us be completely deprived of Woofie's companionship after raising him from puppyhood--he is our baby.
Again, I miss Woofie terribly and very much want to see him. Not seeing him for over 2 months has been devastating and heartbreaking for me. Why would you want to deny me the joy of Woofie's companionship whom we've known and raised since he was a puppy? You need to know that I am feeling pain here and I think it is reasonable work with the suggested schedule to share Woofie on a fairly equitable basis. I get that it is a new uncharted territory for us; however, I think it is valuable that we be allowed to spend time with Woofie individually and we are very capable in caring for him.
I am trying to understand your stance here in regards Woofie. As you can see, I am trying to work with you here. Help me out here...I am a bit of at a loss.
