Kittens, Mean Betty's heard all sorts of scary stories about couples fighting over stuff after they break up, but the fight between Hugh Hefner and his latest ex-fiancé, Crystal Harris, takes the biscuit -- the dog biscuit that is!

You see, when the runaway bride left Hugh, she took her massive 3.39 carat diamond engagement ring worth $90,000 and Hugh's Cavalier King Charles puppy Charlie. At the time of the split, according to RadarOnline.com, Hugh let Crystal keep the ring, even after she dropped by the Playboy Mansion to return it. (Crystal told RadarOnline.com that she wanted to return it, because "it was the right thing to do.")

However, it seems he never told her to keep Charlie.

While Mean Betty doesn't know the deets on who picked Charlie or who had the lucky job of paper-training him. Meanie does know that it's usually the person who scoops the poop keeps the pet. Why Meanie once heard of a couple that were fighting over a cat! Yes, neither cared about the TV or anything else, they both wanted custody of the cat. When the gal told the guy that he'd have to change the litter box, he magically gave up the fight. Another couple that Mean Betty knows ended up with joint custody of their dog. Every other month, they'd pack up the dog and her toys and drive it over to the other's house. When you think about it, it's a novel approach to keeping in touch!

Hugh spoke to People magazine, "We both love the puppy…I told her if she wants to keep the ring and the Bentley, then maybe I can keep the puppy. I [hope] we will work it out."

It's sad to think of Hugh pining away, alone and lonely in his massively big mansion wanting just to hear the pitter patter of dog paws on his highly polished floors.

And here's a scary thought-Christy, according to The New York Post, auctioned off her large diamond engagement ring at Christies and only got $47,500 for it. So,while Hef and Christy are going back and forth on custody for Charlie, will Christy pull a fast one of him and try to auction off the puppy-in-the-middle for big bucks too?

Hef has mended his crushed ego heart with two new nubile ladies by the names of Anna Sophia Berglund and Shera Berchard. No matter how many pneumatic beauties Hef has surrounded himself with, it really comes down to a boy and his dog.
