I am about half way through my periodic table of the elements collectionCan someone give me a list of elements used in common household items; please don\'t just say like iron-nails- I need the rarer ones like cobalt, yttrium, etc10 points for whoever has the longest list.what is the most important element needed to win in a small claims case Proof that you were paying the dog\'s bills (food, vet, supplies), such as checks payable to the vet and/or your friendsWithout that, and without the written agreement you should have had from the beginning, she will be considered abandoned by youAnd as someone else said, the dog has now adapted to her new lifeIt\'s in HER best interest to remain in a stable home and not have her world pulled out from under her againYou\'re also totally ignoring the feelings of your friendsYou know, the people who you liked well enough to entrust the care of your dog to for a WHOLE YEAR? Obviously they\'ve become very attached to your dog, and even though they are in the wrong to keep her, are doing that out of love for herI strongly suggest you reconsider what is in everyone\'s best interest-and that would be to leave the dog in her current homeTell your friends you overreacted, have thought it over, and understand their desire to keep the dogSo you\'re dropping your lawsuit and requesting that if they ever need to re-home the dog, that they will give you the first chance to get herHopefully there won\'t be a next time, but if there is, get everything in writing, signed and dated by both partiesBTW, even if you did win your lawsuit (which is very unlikely), all the judge would award you is the current market value of the dogAnd while he normally wouldn\'t award board (since no amount was agreed on), in this case he probably would, since you admit your friends were dogsitting for youSo you might walk out of the courtroom with no dog and owing money to boot.Other related question
