Our neighbors... as I shake my head, have a very different opinion of animal safety living out here in the country. They recently aquired yet another dog. Gracie is a big black labrador retreiver. She is a very friendly dog just dying for someone to pet her. Our neighbor got her from a co-worker. Gracie belonged to his 94 year old grandmother who isn't able to take care of Gracie any longer. Shes alot of dog! Gracie is left outside (not in the fence that they recently put up) to just wonder all day while they are at work. She greets us as we come and go, trying to get in the yard when we open the gate. Our dogs are barking like crazy trying to get out of the yard when we open the gate to see Gracie. A three ring circus is what it always turns out to be. She has been an inside dog most of her life according to our neighbors and so I wonder why they leave her outside to wonder while they are at work? Oh, they put her in the fenced yard but she digs right under it and they know she does it. Then they leave for work probably saying by Gracie, be a good girl. And they probably pat her head as they get in the car to leave. Surely Ruby would like someone to hang out with all day while she is in the house?
Will Gracie wonder to far and get hit by a car? Will she fall prey to a mean dog who is also left to wonder around all day? Will she poop in our carport right outside the car door so we get to step in it? Only time will tell............. I am sure I will have news for you soon.
Dolly and I are going grocery shopping this morning and will have to carry numerous bags in the house. The gate will be open and I am soooo anticipating what excitement this will bring for Gracie and our dogs as well. Close your eyes and envision the chaos. I already am!
