If I came home and my sweet Eleanor wasn't around, and I was looking for her and the person responsible refused to tell me where she was until hours later, I would be a mess. And I would think they were beyond evil. 

If that happened to me, the Geneva Convention would be out the window, and said person's balls would be wired to an electrical outlet faster than you can say "waterboarding".

This is going to sound like a bitchy comment but here goes.  This was Cookies home and she was part of Bethenny's life WELL before Jason entered the picture.  If his parents were worried about being bitten perhaps they could have stayed elsewhere because Cookie obviously was fine around Bethenny, Bryn, Jason, and all the employee's.  It isn't like it would have broken the bank.  Cookie is an older dog and if this is what really happened its cruel.  If my husband of 26 years treated my cats badly it would tell me he's a jerk and we would have to decide whether or not we were staying together.  Its more than the animal.  Its a huge character flaw imho.  

Absolutely.  I'd be convinced my love and trust was truly misplaced in any human, no matter how close, if they were ever cruel to an animal.

 

On topic?  Ramoaner was trippin' all the way to crazy-town during Dorinda's dinner.  Fuckin' freak.  I wanted someone to shout at her: "CALM DOWN!!!".

[Trooper York]

I have twelve of them. One in every room of the house. Plus lots of stuff that Dorinda has. The creepy John's bargain store stuff. The cheap rudolph junk. Plus lots of antique pieces.

I have to admit I do have twelve Christmas Hawaiian Shirts. When I visit my  daughter in Florida over the Holiday's  I wear them. Santa surfing. Reindeer on a jet ski.  As I walk around  I pass a lot of couples. They always comment. The guy goes "where did you get that shirt. I have to get one." His wife always says "No you're not."

I bet Luann would let Tom get a shirt.

Thanks for reminding me.  Maybe, it's with my green ceramic tree!

I would be upset as well but my dogs don't bite anyone like Cookie did/does, so I can't fault Jason. It is entirely possible that Bethenny left the dog home with him so that he couldn't/wouldn't have company in the apartment.. a rather evil act in of itself IMO. Sadly, Cookie has Bethenny's more nasty traits....she bites without provocation! As for him not telling her where Cookie was, we only have Bethenny's word that he did that, and I don't trust the great exaggerators word about anything, let alone this.

My 7 lb dog bites when he's in a protective mode.  

All Jason had to do was put a leash on the dog, tie it to a chair and have him out of reach.  There's no excuse for putting him in a kennel. They can rename it a dog hotel, but it's a kennel and terrifying for a dog that's never been in one. The dog probably was barking, annoying him and he dumped the dog. That's a animal hater.

I totally think she wants love and companionship but not sure about monogamy.  If it happens great but not a deal breaker.  I think she is more into the lifestyle (and appearances) as people said.  As this has played out of the last year I am at the point that who really cares?  She isn't inventing anything new as far as a marriage of convenience is concerned.  They are of an age where companionship and common interests (and a hot sex life) may be more important than monogamy.  I don't think she wants people to know this necessarily though.  I think the love of her life was the Count and she got hurt.  Now she is going for what she wants/needs and if Tom turns into the love of her life great (I think she loves him to a degree but he isn't the love of her life), if not, she's still got the lifestyle and can have her own dalliances.  I find her very old fashioned in the behind every great man is a great woman sort of thing and loved being a wife rather than being independent.  Did I sort of defend Lu?  What happened.

Luann has never said she wants anything but a monogamous relationship with Tom.  Others substituting their opinion for Luann's desires doesn't make it so.  The others don't like the way Luann expresses herself about why she is in love with Tom.  When she was giddy an excited they put her down so she has curbed her enthusiasm with this crew.  Luann mistakenly thought Bethenny was happy with Dennis.  What Bethenny seemed to like about him was his wasn't around the apartment all day, had stuff to do, believed in her before she hit it big. I don't find that any more or less real than Luann's rattling off the companionship she and Tom share.  I don't think Luann is looking for dalliances at this point in her life.  She had two pretty good runs at the single life in her twenties and again in her fifties.  It seems to me she is all about being part of a couple.

I am an animal lover but I do not foist my animals on others for care and feeding.  Many dogs are crated in their own homes.  If the dog was barking and keeping the child up, Jason was well within his rights to secure the dog or ultimately take the dog to a hotel.  Who was walking and picking up after the dog in Bethenny's absence?  This happened after Bethenny filed for divorce-how about she take her dog with her or find suitable daycare or make overnight arrangements for the care of her dog.  I don't think it is up to her estranged husband to care for her dog.   Bethenny is responsible for the well-being of her dog-not Jason.  This show has a number of women who are not terribly responsible dog owners.  Dorinda and Luann being the exceptions.

Kennels have done a great job with marketing. They actually got people to call a kennel a hotel.

That was the child's dog too, not just Bethany's. It sounds like spite to me. Why couldn't Jason take care of his child and his child's dog at the same time?  So the dog is difficult, deal with it. If he can't handle a difficult dog, doesnt say much about him.

First question why is Bethenny not there to take of her dog in the morning?   I agree if Bethenny was not going to be home she should have one of her employees take the dog or find suitable kennel arrangements.   Why is the child involved in the care and feeding of the dog? I don't know about demeaning dad over the dog is necessary.  The dog had food water and a bed-how does that differ from a crate?  The more adult conversation would probably be when you have a dog you need to care for it or make arrangements to have your dog cared for when you are not home.  I do remember the camera crew had to wear ankle guards while filming with Cookie because she continually attacked them.  I can't imagine the dog liked Jason all that much.

Again I am an animal lover, I walk my neighbor's dog everyday at lunch so she doesn't get lonely and Saturday night I was invited over and helped make a delicious dinner and the dog barked the entire time wanting my friend's attention.  I was so hoping she would put the dog in another room.  My friend complimented my patience for sitting through the dog barking.  I will not return for another dinner until she finds a way to manage her animal.  I kind of have a problem with telling a kid someone is being mean when disciplining an animal.  Yet, I would never tell someone to confine their dog when it is misbehaving.

The dog was 10 years old when Bryn was born.  It was not her dog.  I would be embarrassed to say I left the my dog in the care of my estranged husband, who does not like the dog.  He did handle the difficult dog he confined her and then ultimately took her to a kennel.

I don't know that Jason hated Cookie but I do know that Cookie bit him and bit most people that came to their apartment, including most of her SKG employees (more so the male visitors/employees than female). Also, Bethenny was just as appalled that Jason locked Cookie in a closet (BTW, it was her large walk in closet) with her food and water as she was that he put her in a kennel (Bethenny used kennels for Cookie before she made it big and could hire someone to care for her in her home). Bethenny should have made arrangements for the dog before she left to go out of town.

[SunnyBeBe]

Not that I have a dog in this fight, please pardon the pun, but, is Cookie the same dog that she had when she and Jason got married?  That dog was aggressive. It would bite.  She even hired professionals for it. Remember?  Not sure if it was Cooke, but, I think so.  She had that dog before Bryn or Jason.  I recall worrying that it would be unsafe for Bryn.  A child doesn't know to steer clear of a snappy dog. 

Also, since they have a custody order in place, it's generally not admissible to introduce evidence of events or allegations that occurred PRIOR to the last Order.  So, it would have to be stuff that is more recent.  And, I don't think they are changing custody yet anyway.  I guess they will wait and see what happens in the criminal case first.

I don't trust women who don't have a good relationship with their mothers.

There are children that mothers never loved, there are some abusive mothers out there.  This is really blaming the victim in some cases.  One of the only positive things about having a very tough relationship with your mother or an abusive mother is that now there are so many books out there about how to handle it and on top of everything, the stigma and shame of it as well.  So many people who have grown up with abusive mothers have now written books about it.  Not only do victims of abusive mothers have to deal with the actual abuse and/or the lack of love from the one person who is supposed to unconditionally love them, they also have to deal with the inherent distrust, dislike, disbelief that others put on them because a relationship with a mother is supposed to be inherently good.  tl;dr FOH.

This may sound a bit creepy, but I just love looking at Dorinda. There is something just effortless and regal about her. And I agree, she's a very gracious host. 

Somebody quoted you and mentioned the resemblance to Princess Diana.

I said the same in Season 8.  Dorinda's so beautiful, so attractive, so my 'type'.  There's something about her.  And it was driving me absolutely crazy, who is it that she reminds me of?  I settled between Princess Diana and maybe an older Cameron Diaz.  Funnily enough because she was friends with Carole before she passed but Carolyn Bessette Kennedy is also one of my favourite women - I can't help but love the platinum blonde hair and those extra strong features.

Jason also lived in the apartment and Cookie was not his dog nor his responsibility. As for Bryn, she was 2, or younger, so Cookie wasn't her dog either. Bethenny should have made arrangements for the care of her dog before she went out of town, she didn't, it's her negligence, not Jason's.

I think this is exactly right. I love dogs as much as anyone and I would make sure I made the proper arrangements before I went away. Especially with an older dog who has behavior issues. She dumped the dog and went off to do what she wanted to do.

Sort of like what her Mom used to do. Allegedly.

This is just another example of a egotistical douchenozzle Real Housewife who doesn't care enough about their pets to have them properly trained and socialized. If Cookie was as big as Kim Richards dog it would have done the same damage that dog did to her sisters kids.

If this dog continually bit people it seems only sensible to lock it in the large walk in closet with food and water. Or take it to professionals to take care of it. 

It is her dog and her responsibility. Not her estranged husband. Not her two year old child.

But the bigger question is....why are you torturing her.......why are you making her live in a dungeon.....why don't you realize that she was raised by wolves and never once got to go to a nice deluxe upper east side kennel........that would be too nice.....like a doggie spa or something.

It is sort of what Bethenny did to Jason. 

She sat him down and told him that Brynn was not his daughter and he had no rights and she should have full and complete custody at all times.

Jason did not take the dog out in the middle of the night.  Gotta read the story-Bethenny did not find out about the dog's whereabouts until midnight.  I can't imagine there are 24 hour dog hotels in NYC.  Probably are.

[berly57]

I'll join the cast-offs on the island that is in B's corner of the ocean. She can't get a break (I mean as far as what most everyone is saying). If she had stayed at the table and cried, she would have been called an attention whore . . . she chose to go into another room (& of course the cameras are going to follow) and, of course, she's still an attention whore. 

Yes, most of us in here certainly can't identify with her life and are thinking how the hell can you bitch about your life when you're rich, have a beautiful daughter, travel all over, etc., etc. But, we have no idea what is really going on w/Jason. I, for one, tend to give more credence to a judge's actions than Page Six. If Jason is indeed harassing her like has been implied, that is a horrible, horrible situation and would put such pressure on anyone. I think the reason we see B act the way she does is because of the fact that she doesn't share with many people. I think she gets pushed to a point where she just breaks down. But because we're used to seeing mostly the sarcastic, cutting side of her, when she does break down, all of a sudden we have no compassion.

Full disclosure, I had a horrible relationship with my mother . . . she was a horrid, horrid person. When Carol was saying that Jason had called B by her mother's name, that just set something off in me. A friend of mine did that once to me -- called me my mother's name & I can't tell you what that did to me. Took me quite awhile to get over it. If you haven't been through a certain situation, there is no way you can understand it -- and you shouldn't understand it. But, just have a little bit of empathy for other people's situations . . .

Maybe checked for rabies if she is biting everyone all the time. He could have just sprayed some shaving cream in her face and they would have held her for forty eight hours.

My thing is the child and Jason getting a good night's sleep is more important than the dog.  If the dog is barking and carrying on, and it is not my dog I am always going to go with the comfort of my child over the dog.  Had Bethenny been there in a likelihood the dog would not have been a problem.  This was a custody issue and the court didn't care.  This isn't gaslighting it is called being an adult.  Take your damn snarly dog with you.

Who said that Jason was supposed to be minding the dog? Sounds like her assistant was there and had no idea that Jason had done any of this.  And why the fuck can't Jason, who is living in a home where he is not wanted, not paying for, and doesn't believe it necessary to dispose of his own human waste in, simply be careful not to do anything to harm the dog? How hard is that, and what does it matter where Beth was? It's not like she left the dog in a hot car. She left the dog in it's own home. Like millions of us do with our own pets every single day. Because it is their home. I wouldn't treat any animal that way. Jason did because it was a nice way to punish Beth. Otherwise, if he did have to remove the dog for whatever reason, he would immediately let her know so that she didn't panic. Or even better, ask her before he did it. As others have said, this is a traumatic experience for some dogs if they are not use to being in such an environment. If the story is true, it pretty much says all that would ever need to be said about Jason.

It's not that I don't sympathize with her problems, but after watching this show from the start, it's always the same song, different verse with her.  There have been so many exaggerations that I simply don't know the truth of anything she says.  I don't doubt that she's had issues with Jason (I don't read other sources of their marital woes, so what I know about the whole situation is limited), but using words like "torture" give me enough reason to pause.   I wish her well though.  I hope they can get this mess sorted out for both of them, and especially for Bryn.

The only thing I ever saw that was worse than this terrible abuse of that poor ankle biter Cookie was when Bethenny drove Sonja to Nick and Tony's in the Hamptons one summer afternoon and left her in the car with the windows rolled  up! 

THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else notice Lu nervously fiddling with the neck of her sweater while assuring Dorinda that all was well between her and Tom?
