Thanks for the kind words about my scribbling....I enjoy writing down my memories, and am also doing drawings to go with my stories for the local archives publication... We just can't figure out why some neighbors think they can have multiple animals on a smallish lot and expect their neighbors to not complain. No 1 has 2 hounds, a basset, and a lg mongrel...He says it's natural as a baby crying for a dog to bark, so neighbors should understand that.....Huh ? His tied up dogs look very skinny and sometimes they bark almost all day. We figure if he wants that many dogs he should be living so far back in the country no one can hear them...He's ex Marine and seems to be mental, so we have to tread lightly... Hubby was told not to feed the dogs, but he feels so sorry for the male hound he will toss him something over the fence pretty often...This dog is tied up behind a building by our property and they can't see him do it...It will eat anything...All dogs are tied up 24/7..which is against the law here....but...we could get burned out....I snuck and called the County one time about them barking...a neighbor ratted on me and I got 2 lectures...one an hour long. Suggestions ? I used a pay phone...Oh well, the last guy had goats for awhile then the two horses, so I should count my blessings, I guess....Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Fri, 11 Mar 2011 12:02:58 -0600 "samuels" <dwsbgs@centurytel.net> writes: Jeannie: I know why you are a successful journalist.

Gosh, don't have a bone in any thing you feed the dog. Evidence!! I hate to see dogs tied up all the time. They need to run. Even little ones, need exercise.

Years ago, our next door neighbor had a coon dog. It bark all day and almost all night to I finally ask them if they could leave him out in the mornings at a later time. My kids window was right above where they would leave him out. Can't remember if they did. They had him tied on a very short lease and didn't care about him. One day, when they were not home, I went over the wall and started petting him. There was a chair out there and I thought that maybe he doesn't want to lay on the cement. I brought the chair forward and he jumped on it and never barked again. Then they did something that was so cruel. They stuck him way in the back of there yard in a tiny cage and he put some kind of netting for him to walk on and all his bodily functions dropped to the ground below. One day when I was in our pool with these kids from next door. The smell was so bad and I said something to the kids about it and they gave him away. Next dog was a springer spaniel, a real beauty. They tied him up to on a very short lease. He just walked and walked around that area and the flies were biting his nose really mad. I told the neighbor about his nose and he gave him a bath and stuck him right back where he was before. Their dog was mated to a friends spring spaniel and she had 9 pups. M. said he didn't want a dog. Well anyway, the dog got loose one day and ran through my newly planted garden and I screamed his name. Next day gone. It seems that some people like having dogs so they can mistreat them. One other goofy neighbor had a rooster that crowed at 5:00 a.m. and a duck. You want security, get a duck. Well, every time that rooster crowed, I dialed their number. I complained to the city and all was gone.

I get enraged at what people do to and with their pets. As a child my brothers brought home or befriended every dog they met. Some times only to find out some belonged to our own neighbors. My mom was a cook for a good sized restaurant so their was a lot of throw aways to keep the dogs fed. But in the mess of dogs were 5 females so new pups always. Finally my mom told all of us i just cannot do it any more. At that time we had 26 dogs. My brother in law was there and he told my mom they could take them out to the dump and do away with .them. But a problem that occurs many times. One white as snow ran and no one saw her. She was my favorite but never let my brothers know because they would probably have blinded her just like Dick and Fritz did to my sister Maries dog. They used a bobby pin and a rubber band. Then all the rest of the dogs were killed but Rusty and nobody could kill him so they watched him follow whitey..So back home they went and mom just smiled. Bout 2 to 3 months later my mom heard some thing in the night. She opened the door and in came Whitey and Rusty course every one heard it but me. Any way Fritz took Rusty to bed with him. 4th of July we went to Detroit Lakes, MN. When we got home there was no rusty and we searched believe me. We finally found him an acre or two away in the hay field in front of our home. So when he had the bad fire there was only one dog and he died like a man. Viola
