We have a dog, Pebbles, have had her for about a year and a half now.  When she was about 6-8 months old we had her fixed and microchipped.    She’s also been to puppy training classes and is pretty obedient.  The front door can be wide open and she just lays there looking out, doesn’t make an attempt to dash out, she’s been trained.

Each time she goes outside, she’s on a leash.    The only time she’s not is when we’re all outside, chillin’, then we let her roam around where we’re at.   She’s always with one of us.

Our neighbor has two Chichauah type dogs.  When they first moved in the kids and I saw them down the street one day and concerned we told the wife.    Come to find out our neighbor opens his front door and lets the dogs out in the morning.   For HOURS.  They roam up and down the street together.  Then he whistles for them and they come home.  

Last year the female came home pregnant.   She had her puppies and he was determined to sell them.   By April he was offering to give us a puppy for The Snitch’s birthday,  we thanked him yet declined the offer (I so did not want to do the puppy training all over again).   Come to find out he couldn’t get rid of the pups so he built a dog house for them!   Now they’re gone, who knows where to.

When we kick it with him and have Pebbles with us he’s always saying You need to let her run around the neighborhood so she’ll know her way home!   I think to myself  She’s trained NOT to leave so that’s not a concern.   Then we’ve talked about Pebbles being fixed and he says he loves his dog  too much to put her through that pain. 

Guess what?  The bitch is pregnant AGAIN!  Ugh.  I know its none of my business but it really irks me because he couldn’t get rid of the last litter quick enough and was giving them away earlier this year.   Not only that but I think of all the families who have had to give up their pets due to the recession because they couldn’t afford to feed them and this fool is adding MORE puppies to the world!  Oy.

Things like this just get under my skin.   Guess I just have to classify him as an irresponsible pet owner.   *rolling my eyes*
