I won't get into the personal details, but my girlfriend and I have decided to amicably end our relationship. We both love our little corgi, Dash, which we've had together for almost 2 years now and neither of us are willing to give him up completely. After a lot of talking things out we've decided to give joint custody a try... nothing formal that is, but Dash will be spending alternating weeks with each of us. Luckily we live in a city like NYC where the logistics aren't too hairy. Tomorrow marks the first day that we're starting this new schedule. I've got him this first week since we've just finished moving all her stuff out of my place to her new place today and the paint is literally still drying. We'll be piloting this format for 2 months to feel it out and see if we can actually pull it off independently given both of our demanding work schedules and obviously her new living situation. So maybe it won't be so much a broken family... but maybe just a modern one living in the city with all it's quirks. Wish us luck!
