Ruining a possible reconciliation

[SteveLW]

So why can't the coparenting of both dogs continue post D?

You'd have her come to my house for the dogs twice a week, for the next 10 years (or however long the dogs live)?

Or you meet at a park to exchange them. Most people view dogs like their kids. If these were kids you wouldn't have one go live with you and the other with her. You would arrange a child care schedule and adhere to it. I see no difference here.
