This is a completely different story from the previous one involving them falsely calling the cops on me, the resulting two night siege of their house involving construction lights and Master P songs being played on a large floor stereo at early morning hours.......we got squared away on that one.

A few nights ago I am in my room doing some shit and hear a high pitched yelp keep coming from outside. After about 15 minutes of this my dog is getting curious as am I so I go outside. Next door I see a VERY YOUNG puppy wrapped around a rocking chair about 15 times thought all of the different holes in the chair with my old dog tie out.

The puppy was completely freaking out because it could not move and was suspended in the air by its collar which no exaggeration had less than two inches between where it was wrapped and the collar. At first I was torn on what to do based on how my last interaction with them played out. Pretty quickly I realized that the dog had been like that for a while and that the right thing to do was to go over there and unwrap it.

I begin to untangle the puppy and low and behold someone comes out to see what I am doing. Maybe it was perfect timing, maybe they had been ignoring the yelping puppy until they saw someone else tending to it, I don't really know. Either way I did not consider it a huge deal because everyone is inexperienced when they get their first pet and even well intentioned people sometimes do dumb things (they just hopefully learn from them).

The girl picked up the puppy started petting it, explained she had to take a shower and had no idea it was like that until she came back downstairs. I joked about how much of a pain it was for me having a dog until my fence was built and how hard it was to house break a puppy.

Last night I saw the girl outside and offered her Mollies old dog crate (for free) since she had just gotten a puppy and I assumed needed one. She said she did not need one.

This morning about 7am the yelping starts again. My dog starts freaking so I figure better to have two dogs outside yelping, that one outside the window and one more in my room so I let Mollie out to take a morning piss and maybe rub noses with the puppy through the fence or whatever. Time goes by and Mollie starts beating on the door to come back in. My room mate lets her back in and I manage to fall back asleep despite the puppy continuing to yelp outside.

Another hour later I walk out for work to see the fucking dog catcher in front of my house stuffing the poor puppy in the box on the back of her truck. I asked her if they were forfeiting the animal or if it got loose. She claimed to have found it running loose so I told her it was probably theirs and pointed at the door, she said she had already talked to them and they knew what was going on.

This leaves me only to assume that the puppy was put on the tie out completely unattended AGAIN two days after the first incident and probably got wound up and managed to wriggle out of it in a panic. YOU CAN'T TIE A TINY PUPPY OUTSIDE UNATTENDED.

Most people recommend against tie outs for medium or large sized adult dogs. I don't see how anyone in their right mind would think its a good idea to tie a puppy (probably 3-6 months old) to a frickin tree with all kinds of obstacles around and not even bother to check on it. I would never fault someone for their dog getting loose that happens to anyone who has a dog, but a very young puppy is a different story. The dog does not even have any defenses at that age and its pretty fucked up to just tie them to a tree and hope for the best.

If I had read that I would respond that owning a dog is a big responsibility which should only be undertaken after watching the appropriate special episodes of sitcoms like the Brady Bunch that deal with such issues.

1/8/2008 1:56:28 PM

Wow, that was definitely not worth reading at all

1/8/2008 1:56:39 PM

i read the last paragraph

steal the dog

1/8/2008 1:57:14 PM

^ Can't, it has to get bailed out of the pound first.

1/8/2008 1:57:59 PM

the pound's prlly a better place

1/8/2008 1:58:46 PM

That pisses me off. How would they like to get tied to a post in the lawn and be ignored. I can't stand it when people mistreat animals that can't defend themselves.

1/8/2008 1:58:52 PM

Yes, you have stupid neighbors.

1/8/2008 2:00:36 PM

probably a christmas puppy

1/8/2008 2:00:44 PM

1/8/2008 2:01:45 PM

haha

1/8/2008 2:02:00 PM

man that's fucked up

1/8/2008 2:02:34 PM

so the neighbors didn't want the dog, and just let it get taken away?

1/8/2008 2:02:52 PM

what kind of dog?

1/8/2008 2:05:31 PM

1/8/2008 2:06:04 PM

1/8/2008 2:06:15 PM

This is why I hate people.

1/8/2008 2:07:03 PM

It's among the reasons.

1/8/2008 10:23:18 PM

i hope the puppy ends up in wake county waste treatment

1/8/2008 10:25:07 PM

DIE IN A FIRE PUPPY

1/8/2008 10:29:21 PM

^^ the puppy may very well end up in a land fill, but there is a chance it will end up alive and with caring people. I am banking on that

1/8/2008 10:31:02 PM

if they do it again, steal it and give it to better people. if they ask, say that it probably ran away. then punch them in the face. NOT KIDDING.

1/8/2008 10:40:08 PM

When a mean dog barks at me, and it's tied to a tree/pole/etc., I like to walk in a circle and make him shorten up his leash to the point where he can't move

and then get in really close and talk shit to him, and he has like a 3 inches of slack and growls in helpless fury
