Tied up

March 10, 2010

Canine

The folks next door keep a little dog tied up outside during the day – and sometimes at night. A sweet little thing, she only barks to alert.

Today they added another, less patient pup. A young dog snubbed to the fence who feels it his solemn duty to scream bloody murder every few moments. My dogs are frazzled.

Taken from my bedroom window:

Poor little thing.

These people have obviously never heard of xpens, crates, gates or any other means of retention. And since this is *Blue House and they loathe me, I won’t be educating them. Might call the cops, though.

*Lost to the great archive swipe of 2009.

    So, exactly why do they have dogs if that’s what they do with them?

    Dogs alert drug dealers when to flush – since the water gets turned off all the time they must not be dealing drugs

      Guess not. I’ll run right over and apologize for thinking they were selling all that stuff I smell…

      :D

    That is so sad.

    When DH was in the Navy and we lived in California, our neighbors got a Golden Retriever PUPPY and left him outside like 95% of the time. No training, no nothing. He dug a hole under the fence and used to come in our yard to play with us. Poor doggies…

    Call call call! That’s just not right for the dogs to be left outside all the time.

    • pam Says:

      He’s gone. Must have been a visitor.

      They usually leave a side door open for the little dog that lives there so she has fresh water and a place to get out of the rain. That’s the law. But, being a dog, she’d rather lay in the dirt.

      Next time they shut the door and leave her out all night, I will call.

    I have some plans around here somewhere that tell’s you how to make a
    sound more like a lion than a dog but effective. Should make the noise from the blue place calm down, at least until they sharpen their sticks or somthing. Now, where to find a large drum and a rope. Oh,and bit of used motor oil. Maybe they’ll find a new place where the folks next door don’t have a lion. :D :rofl: Oh, the Darby/Mcgee household has just been super glued. :hug:
