Ok, this is my first journal entry so I apologize that it is a rant, but I really need to get this off my chest and maybe someone out there will be able to help me.

I gave a woman my dog under a contract that if she ever had to get rid of her or didn't want her anymore that she was to come back to me. I found out two months ago that she had given Sable away to a man who lives over an hour away from me. Four two months she wouldn't tell me who actually had her. She told me the name Robert Carson. Finally after two months of arguing and doing many searches in which I had an Animal Controle officer helping me, she finally told me that the real name was Coston. So I finally find out where my dog is. I went and talked to the man, or rather I tried to talk he yelled. I explained to him the situation. I identified Sable to a tee. I told them about her microchip, the scars she has, ect. He started saying she was his now, contract or not, and he wasn't giving her up. He then told us the "we didn't know who we were dealing with and that he knew people" Personaly I take that as a threat, but I couldn't help but think "WTF? Are you part of the mob?" Which made me laugh a little inside. So after he demanded that we leave his property I call the sheriffs department. It must have been a bad day to call because the officer I talked to seemed to want to be munching down at a Dunkin' more than talking to me. He ignored the fact that I even said the word "contract" and told me that if I gave her away the only way to get her back was to go to court. I told him fine, I'll go to court. I then called the man who has Sable, and let him know what the sheriff had said. He then continued to yell at me, just as he had done in his yard. I could even hear his wife in the background, she was louder than he was, screaming she would come after me if I tried to take Sable.

So now I get to call in a complaint to the Sheriffs department, and with luck talk to someone else, and if that doesn't work I get to go to court. Yay me.
