Roxy...*vent*

[My Peanuts]

I will say this, the fact that Roxy is not outside all the time makes me very happy. I hate to hear about outside only dogs. It breaks my heart.

Maybe I can finally convince my mom she belongs inside. There's a dog down the street who I feel sorry for now. It lives on about a maybe 5 foot chain and never gets walked. The only time I see the owners are when they come out and tell it to shut up.

Casey is my soul and heart dog and once she had diareah so I locked her in the bathroom that night so she wouldn't go on the carpet, guess where I slept? On the bathroom floor next to her, thats how I feel about my soul dog so it is hard hearing that walking your soul dog is a chore.

I don't think we are going to get anywhere going over all this again, I would never call anyone on you but a lot of folks on here feel very strongly about animal abuse and would view Roxy's life in such a way.

Well, I have to say I'm happy for Roxy. I stopped every saying anything about it, because it wouldn't do any good, but she deserved more than a life on a chain. I know you didn't walk her as often as you said you were going to or wanted to, but she deserves to have attention more than what she was getting. I know you may feel upset at the moment, but in the end really it will be better for Roxy, and you did mention you wanted her to be able to be inside anyway, so that's really not a bad thing.

Only someone who knows your personal information could have called, so are you sure it was someone from PT? Maybe it was a concerned neighbor. If you think about it, Roxy didn't get a whole lot more attention than the dog you feel sorry for. Yes she got fed, which is a good thing!, butshe didn't get a lot of attention.

Sorry you got your feelings hurt, but I am happy for Roxy that she will get more attention. Even when we are busy, if we are going to own animals, we owe it to them to provide them with everything, and that includes our attention, even if we have to make the time and put off something else. Try to look at it as a good thing.

Well, it could have been a neighbor, and thats what my mom thinks. (Of course I'm not telling her I suspect a PT'er or she would never let me online again!) But I really really think it's a PT'er, because I recently gave my address to someone, who had once before tried to report me to animal control, but they ignored her email...and she finally had my address...so yeah. I thought she was my friend, but apparently not. Of course it could have been anybody, but the neighbors really need not worry about Roxy, because there's a dog in much worse conditions RIGHT down the road.

[caseysmom]

Why would you give your address to someone online that had previously threatened to report you? Sorry but if you were my kid I would pull the plug, we can say we are a 14 year old girl, we might be a hairy fat 50 year old pervert....please be careful.

Hey, don't blow my cover now!!!

No, I'm kidding but, she is right and it is a very serious matter. I do believe this is a blessing in diguise though, as hopefully Roxy will live a much better life now that AC knows about this location.

I knew a dog like this. She suddenly "disappeared" one day. I'm happy to take credit for that. She ate scraps, frequently knocked over her water and it was never refilled and it was 100 degrees out! Before that in the winter she was left outside and my Dad called to say, you forgot your dog outside." They didn't forget and my Dad knew it but it got them to take her in. The son would take her with him for runs in the extreme heat and then tie her up with no water while he went into the air conditioned house. Our hose was always by the fence and I'd hose her down in the summer. I also sat with her on 4th of July and fed her treats because she was so scared.

One night he told me "someone" took her. Yeah, I tried to find a home for her and when I couldn’t she went to a shelter and I checked up on her all the time until she got adopted a week later. I don't like adding to the over crowding of shelters but I had no choice. Given the chance I would do it again.

Sorry, there was my own mini rant. Once I start thinking about that poor girl I can't stop! I'm happy she found a loving home.

Maybe that is how the person you thought was a "friend" felt, the same way you feel about the dog down the street. Maybe the way you wrote things made them think the same thing you are. If you talked to the owner maybe they feel the same way you do about your dog??? They just don't have the time like you. But wish they did and maybe might start making the time like you are.
