They were happy I made him a leanto when the dogsitter was negilent cause he can use it as a house now. I was horrified when he was out there and I thouhgt it was an accident but now I dont even have words for how I feel. They never play with him and he has nothing to do. So hes digging over to my house. Hes dug under the fence and under the additional 8 inch of rabbit fencing that is staked to the ground. I cant let my babies out since hes there barking hysterically all day and I found out they feed him once a day and leave water in a kiddy pool for him to drink. A stagent(sp) pool that from the looks they dont clean. I dont know if my anger toward them or my pity for Cody is stronger. Id love to call anmial control but I dont know if I can do it annomously and if what they are doing is enough against the rules for them to be made to fix it. If I turn them in and no one makes them fix it AND they know I did it I be in living **** for the next 2 years. In my dream world I meet someone who wants him and they take him off to a loving home. I guess Im just venting since there is nothing that I knoiw of that can be done. Thanks for listening guys. |
As long as he's being fed, there really isn't much you can do..now, as far as being outside 24/7, well, I have 2 dogs that are outside 24/7..they have a big run, plus everyday, we take them out and let them run in the fenced in backyard for about 20-30 minutes too..these 2 dogs have a set feeding schedule, get fresh water every day, get plenty of food at their feeding time, and my husband made a huge shelter for them(fit for a king)..so, as far as being outside, well, there's really nothing wrong with that, but, they should be taken care of..Like my hubby says, he doesn't really want dogs, but, we have them, so you take care of them the best you can!
