I have mentioned previously about the trash neighbors renting the house next door.
Last night we had snow here so of course it was very cold. All night (again) i heard their poor yellow lab outside all night crying.
Today the dog was outside still and was tangled up in the trees at the back of the property and had no access to food or water and yet the owners did nothing.
So after calling every animal shelter and resuce place and having no luck since it was sunday and they were all clsoed, i called the county sheriff's office. The sent someone at once. He asked what the problem was, i told him. he went next door and told them to untangle the dog and feed and water him. Whixh they did at once.
But still the dog remained outside in the freezing weather with no dog house or blanket or any kind of shelter and this pissed me off.
I grilled pork chops for supper with mashed potatoes and i saved the fat and the bones and some potatoes and took that over to the dog.
The night progressed and as i was on i.m. i heard the most bizarre sound likei have never heard and i didn't know what it was, my dog Boris heard it and began to bark and within a couple of minutes the woman from next door was banging on my door wondering what the noise was.
It was the dog next door. We went out and i went over to check on the dog and it was shivering from the cold.
I so wanted to bring the dog into my house to be fed and watered and warm for the night and thankfully my friend encouraged me to do it, so i went next door and brought the dog into my house, got him his own food and water bowls and found an old dog bed for him to sleep on and the poor dog drank water like he had never had any before and wouldn't leave my side and could not be petted enough.
I am not sure what to do, but for tonight i know this dog is well cared for and see how to proceed tomorrow. But for tonight, the poor dog from next door is well cared for.
