My neighbor's dog....

[shiki]

My dogs love being outside, and the underground fence I got has changed things around considerably. Sometimes I have to do battle just to get them to get in the house so I can go somewhere.

I live in CRE and I have seen a Jack Russel, a Beagle, and Pomeranian (different houses, different owners) chained up outside all day long

That doesn't make much sense to me.

When I moved to my new home, no neighbors came over to meet us. So when ever I would see one in their yard when I went to get mail or something, I head right over hold out my hand and say Hi Im so and so, nice to meet you. It kinda forces them to stop and talk for a second. Its hard to be mean when someone is in your face holding out their hand in friendship. You might want to give it a try.

I know the correct answer to this is "it's none of your business, you can't change other people..." That said...................my neighbors have this adorable dog, sweet and friendly and seems very well behaved. They keep her (I think) outside ALL the time, sitting at the door, crying. The people right next door say it is the saddest thing to watch.

Why would you bother to have a pet and treat it that way. Wife DOES NOT appear to work, so I can't understand not letting her in for some attention during the day. I just watched her try to drag her back inside the fence and the dog rolled over on the ground, as if to say "would YOU want to go back there?"

So, I'm thinking of approaching them and asking if they would like some help finding a good home for her. Someone PLEASE stop me! I know she's fed and probably has some shelter, which is more than many have, but it really gets to me for some reason.
