No, not to punish her at all. But I've been the one taking care of the dog for 3 months now when she had no interest in even seeing her -- I pretty much consider her MY dog now, not ours. I want my dog to stay in her home and not be taken off to wherever my W is staying. It just isn't worth it. I also want to establish that I'm going to keep the dog and I'm not interested in any shared custody. It wouldn't be healthy for the dog to be shuttled about or for myself to continue having W in my life if we get divorced. We got the dog together. I knew the dog could potentially be the one "big" issue in a divorce but I didn't anticipate it becoming an issue already like this...
