The plaintiff’s dog needed an emergency C-section, then he got stuck with 10 puppies. He’s suing for vet bills. The defendant argues he and the plaintiff previously discussed breeding. He doesn’t think the plaintiff should be suing because the plaintiff sold the dogs and made money.

She says the defendant couldn’t find her a place to live, but the defendant won’t return her security deposit, so she’s suing.

He says there was a fire at the shop, and when he picked the car up, it had new scratches and marks on it. The plaintiff is suing for the cost of car painting.

He refuses to return her money and is countersuing for harassment and lost wages.
Then, the plaintiff used to date the defendant, but when she kicked him out of the house, he stole her car. The cops recovered it, took it to impound, and she was forced to pay for it. She is suing the defendant to get her lost money back. The defendant says he was given 10 minutes to leave after an argument, and he took the truck that was rightfully his. He claims the plaintiff lied to the cops about the car being stolen, and he’s not responsible for paying the cost of impound.
Plus, the plaintiff says he put a deposit down to pick out a puppy from the defendant’s pregnant English bulldog, but the litter died.

The defendant insists the plaintiff didn’t have the money to pay her for a puppy when the second litter came around, and basically strung her along.
