~A Bad Dog~

Someone in this neighborhood has a dog they let out to

run the neighborhood.. Its a huge blood hound.. I was

looking out the window again.. and saw this hound was

trying to go across the street.. I could see cars..and hear

horns blowing at him.. I watched as he went back into the

yard of the yellow house across the street..well orange is

more the color.. I watched a bit later and I saw a young

man coming down the sidewalk on a bicycle and I knew

that dog would go after him.. Penny had come back from

a trip to the store and he was next door then too and he

came at her..She ran to get in side here.. I bet he would

have bit her..

I watched as this kid on the bicycle got up to the sidewalk

and the curb and I thought maybe the dog had gone since

I hadnt seen it in a little while.. I watched as the kid starts

to peddle,, and I hear this LOUD "WOOF WOOF" and

there is that dog RUNNING full tilt at that kid.. I see his eyes

get huge and I mean I havent seen anyone peddle so fast..

The bike wasn't your standard 2 wheeler..it was one of those

kinds that you kind of lay on? Well sit in a lounging position

maybe is a better description.. I watched as the kid went

past the front of the house and that dog was right on his

heels.. the position he was in and as low as that bike was

that dog could have easily gotten him..

I saw the dog come back and he went out in the street again

and the horns started again.. I don't know who owns this dog,

but its not fair to the animal or to the people he endangers.. I

feel sorry for the dog.. We have a leash law here..and the

people that own him and have let him loose like this could be

in serious trouble if the dog caused a wreck or bit some one..

I feel sorry for the dog.. People that cant take proper care of

their pets..should not have them. They are only 'animals' but

they do require care and a watch ful eye on them.. I just hope

nothing happens as a result of this dog being loose.. He

looks like a nice dog too. I miss not having one...

I had some beautiful dogs.. German Shepherds are my favs.

Although I did have Alex, he was a golden retriever .. and a

love.. I had twin shepherds.. Jesse and Jake.. Wonderful

animals.. Only way to tell them apart was by their collars...I

couldn't tell even... Donnie brings Jerky here and I have to

make sure my brakes are on if I hold on to that dog.. he can

easily pull me.. When I was in the apartment .. I had hold of

his leash.. and that dog took me for a ride, from one end of

the place to the other and he had NO problem doing it..

NOW as big as he is.. I don't hold on to him.. Hes a very

hyper dog.. But well hes alone all day and a good part of

the evening they stay so busy.. No wonder he gets all happy

when he finally sees people.. Donnie found out the hard way,

when he was confined.. Helped me make the point of now

he knew how the dog felt..waiting for him every day .. just

like Donnie waited eagerly for Dawn to come home so she

could take him out. I laughed at that.. Well he learned :-)

I saw a lot of cars with trailers with horses and livestock today

too as I was looking out the window.. all going to the fair.. I

did tell Penny if she goes she better bring me some cotton

candy back.. I LOVE that stuff.. Every once in a while you

can find it in the grocery store and needless to say I always

bought some.. I hope she goes..and having a 14 yr old grand

son and 4 little grand daughters I have a feeling Penny will

be going for sure..

Well Im going to go and eat.. Ive been in the dumpies or one

of my snits the past few days, which I hate that but..well I get

upset if someone is rude or hurts my feelings.. and I let that

happen once in a while.. think I would learn but I don't.. so I

feel a bit better today, I had a nice chat with my friend Raife,

in the UK.. I bet his poor ears are ringing.. And that really

helped.. He understands me and lets me whine..and boo

hoo all the time.. I try not to but..well we all have those days

and need an ear or a shoulder sometimes.. I m so glad I

have such good dear friends.. Means a lot... So I need

some food.. I have some great smoked ham..and I have

some Swiss cheese, and a tomato.. now that's a nice

sandwich..with Mayo of course and a slight dab of yellow

mustard.. and nuke it for a few Seconds.. MMMM good..

Now I really made myself hungry and I have to roll off in

to the sunset of my kitchen.. wanna take me to the fair..

well COME ON! "Nitey Nite! " :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear ? Love ya.. and thanks :-)

Always, Lois ****
