Initially I was waiting the two years for the 'non-fault' divorce. Since then it's been a case of can't afford the legal fees and not had the time to look into getting 'legal aid' to help with that.
Admittedly I'm mostly being lazy, there. I definitely need to get that sorted pretty damn soon though.
There's a reason why he's estranged. I hope the puppy isn't his - if he's as irresponsible as he sounds, then he's going to be as bad a dog-owner as he was a father.
I get the impression from his text message that it's a shared dog between all the housemates. The disturbing thing is that he reckoned he couldn't have Rowan over because there was 'crap all over the place' - implying they're letting this puppy do his business all over the flat, and not putting much of a priority on cleaning up afterwards...*shudders*
Sym sometimes leaves me little presents - mostly 'cause he's getting old - but even so...
Oh, dear. It really sounds as if he shouldn't have a dog - and if he can't train the dog, then Rowan needs not to be around at all, it could be dangerous for him. Not to be alarmist, but awful things do happen.
Oh trust me I know. I have a dog phobia, 'cause of a few experiences in my childhood. I can come to adore certain individual dogs, but I don't much like the species in general.
Cats rule :-)
Rowan's also got a fairly irrational fear of dogs, though I don't know where that comes from. But if it keeps him out of his fathers flat, I don't mind.
