Because of this I cannot walk my dogs. I have to drive 40 minutes to walk them or take them to the dog park in the city.
Most times people don't even have ID's on their dogs either. My dogs all have ID's and micro chips. I see dogs running loose at least every other day. I always stop to check ID's and call the owners unless they run away (most times) or growl at me (a lot of times also).
I used to work nights and would drive home at 12pm and would see the same beautiful pomeranian running loose right in or next to a VERY busy most semi route road. I could never catch him, one night I finally did and called the lady she told me off for waking her up and said "he's fine he does it all the time" I wish I could have just stolen him he was so sweet and surely a purebred. I told my husband "next time I see him, he's mine" he agreed. Sadly next time I saw him he was dead on the side of the road. Also the neighbors straight across the road are on their 5th labrador in a little over a year because they all get killed by cars.
There is also this beautiful sweet Basset Hound just down the road that has been picked up many many times by passing people. Because they let her run free. I have always wanted a Basset, If my dogs weren't so terrified of big dogs I would take her and I'm sure the owners could care less.
It gets me in an uproar also how people don't care enough about their pets to keep them confined for their own saftey.
Another thing that gets me in an uproar is people that get dogs and keep them tied or chained outside all their lives. What is the purpose of that? So you can have a live alarm system?
Man I really hate people sometimes. |
this is so sad. ARGH it makes me so angry!
Like, don't you worry about your pet running around? If it's a problem with a fence, fix it! I hope they don't make this Yorkie sleep outside.
I'm definitely going to try and get this lil bugger and hopefully he isn't mean. Although he didn't bark or growl at me when he saw me. I'll lure him with treats, what yorkie can resist a good treat!
