I was told I would be getting my own phone but that is besides the point. I have an unlimited plan but I despise using my personal phone to call citizens so if... View More

My ex has only picked her up once, and we made a deal that I was going to be the one that took care of her because she chose me .im 5 days out of the week and he’s 2 but he keeps calling me names and if I don’t do what he wants he gets irritated and irrational and I fear he may want to take my dog.
My partner and I got a dog when we were together. We broke up and she sent photos for a bit but now she’s stopped completely and blocked me. I want to be able to see my dog and have photos and updates of her.
