Spiteful ex wife! Cannot believe it that she had Ginger all this time after winning custody, clearly that man loved that dog.... Sweet Bassett hound, I used to have lots when I was a kid. Sadly they don't generally live very long, 10 years are the norm but 13 years is amazing so obviously she had been well looked after by the ex wife but cannot comprehend why she didn't call him up to see if he would have the dog back. Least Ginger will have time with him however short.
