As I watch the dogs in my neighborhood,I have come to realize that there are people out there that think it is ok for a small dog to roam free,they are tiny and cannt hurt anyone,,right?,they are just animals so they know to stay out of the street,,right?,they are sooooo cute that noone would hurt them except the hawks and coyotes (ya even in the middle of FtW TX). I have neighbors on both corners that have chihuahuas they dont care properly for (all under 3lbs). One nolonger roams because her mommy leaves her on the front screened in porche ALL of the time,it was 102 yesterday. She barks and whines because she is so lonely and I get to listen to her.I have returned her once or twice and told the lady that I didn't want to see her in my yard again and to get her fence fixed (I was nicer than that). The others have 2 chihuahuas and I finally called code inforcement because the neighbor got mad at ME for returning her dogs. She isn't much nicer to her children but I only see then in the frontyard. Both of these neighbors are overwhelmed and overworked and just can not figure out how to make it all work. It probably never occured to them to find a better home than theirs because theirs is just fine.
It is just so sad to me that people dont think to get their babies fixed and not produce puppies,,cause those are cute too.
My daddy used to tell me that "common sense" isn't so common and as I get older I see less and less of the sense part.
I am so sorry that you are stuck watching this from across the street,I feel your pain. If you are able to stay on friendly terms with the folks across the street,maybe at some point the lady will tell you that the little guy is just to much. You could be a really good neighbor and offer to take him. |
