Moving past D to a stronger me (pt. 7)

[Davide]

I'll give an update in a bit (nothing big), but first I have a question (it is so insignificant as to be humorous!):

I am leaving town for a week and so I wrote an email to EW offering her the chance to take the pup for the week. She works from home so could give her lots of attention, and she does love the dog. I was also thinking that it could save me 200 dollars. But EW didn't get back to me and I ran into a (common) friend who said that she would love to take the dog for me. I told her that I was giving EW first chance, but after 4 days EW still hadn't gotten back to me so I told my friend that I would take her up on the offer. Then, yesterday, I wrote to EW letting her know, and she immediately wrote back saying that she thought it was fair (that I had moved on) but that she had been planning to write and let me know that she wanted the dog. She also gave me (lame) excuses about why she hadn't responded. Then later in the day she wrote and told me that if I wanted to cancel the reservation (she thought I was using a boarder) she would love to take her.

My initial reaction is to tell her to F#$# off, because it is so typical of her - not responding to me in a timely manner, and just doing whatever she wants and expecting me to adapt. (Of course, I would never actually say that, I simply wouldn't respond to her message.) However, I am afraid that I am being petty. Am I? The pup would be happier with EW since she works from home, and I'm sure that our common friend would be happy to share the time with the dog. I could easily tell her to talk to our friend so that they can work something out. But I have no desire to do that.
