Breezee's Shared Custody Cover design by Daniel Cosgrove Copyright © Bill Ellingsen	Breezee's Shared Custody Divorce, Murder, and the Dog Dave divorced Sheila because she wouldn’t stop cheating on him, an activity she still thinks is normal. Dave’s idea of normal is not an open marriage and promiscuity, so he vowed to move on with his life. Problem is, he hasn’t. Whenever he sees Sheila, his willpower vanishes. The obvious solution is to stay away from her, but that’s impossible. She finagled an agreement into their divorce decree for sharing custody of his dog, likely so she can have her way with him whenever she wants, and he hasn’t been able to resist her charms. Now he’s just another boyfriend, the others being his boss and a mysterious bad-boy bodybuilder. It’s the bodybuilder who has Dave worried; his dog Breezee doesn’t even like him, and she’s a happy-go-lucky Basset Hound. Dave doesn’t want her near him, is afraid for Sheila too. Dave’s and Breezee’s instincts are right. The bodybuilder wants Sheila for himself and is willing to do anything to make it happen.
