For all intents and purposes, its your dog... even if he came and tried to sue or something, you have all the documentation needed to prove you acted in its best interest.
My gut tells me he's just using it as the last little bit of control he might be able to hold over you and your mom. He clearly doesn't care about y'all why would he care about the dog?
Yeah, if you knew him and our life story you would understand that's EXACTLY what he's doing. 💀 I thought that might be the case though, I just wanted other opinions.
Yeah, this seems like a control thing to me. He doesn’t have the best interests of the dog at heart. If you feel like the dog is suffering and ready to cross the rainbow bridge, then that’s what you need to do. Once the dog is no longer there, the father has one less thing to try to manipulate you with, and that is what is really bothering him about the situation. Trust your gut and do the right thing for your dog. This pooch is lucky to have had you and your mom in her corner for all of these years. I’m sorry you’re going through such a difficult thing - losing a pet is terrible, and to have to deal with what your father is putting you through is making it so much worse
He's being funded by his parents, who are about as crazy as he is and hate us both, so I could 100% see them funding this if they think they had a chance of screwing us over now or later. I could write you a book on the crazy shit they've done and continue to do because they hate my mom that much. That's the only reason I ask despite knowing that she's pretty much 100% our dog.
Thank you for the confirmation of my thoughts though. I will 100% do that.
No vet is going to touch euthanizing the dog if they think there's a custody dispute for it as we face serious licensing consequences for that. It may be different if the dog is suffering severely, but I always avoid these appointments for liability and safety reasons. I have been in three euthanasia-related situations where I thought I was in serious danger from a client and it's terrifying.
I honestly see this a lot in men who don't want to face the emotions that come with losing a pet and resort to anger or sometimes violence instead. The number one thing is to keep yourself safe. It's highly unlikely you would face any legal consequences for euthanizing an elderly, very ill pet, especially if all the vet bills are under your name. It's essentially worthless as property. Don't mention anything about the custody dispute to the vet and pay off any bills yourself while you're there if you go through with it.Â

When it's at the stage where you're sleeping on the floor with your dog because she's so ill, it's time to let her go.
Is he really going to try to sue you when he won't even pay for blood tests and vet bills?
The vet has already examined your dog and recommends euthanasia. It would be very cruel to make her suffer until after new years.
Take videos/photos of her condition. Keep copies of the vet bills and get a copy of the exam notes from the vets.

Paying for the expenses is enough to prove ownership in my jurisdiction.
They didn't pay the full expenses, however, so it's a bit greyer.Â
Even if it did the most he could sue for is the cost of replacing an elderly dog in multi organ failure. Doubt it would even be $25
