That's too bad that nothing will be done about the owners.
But it's great that you are willing to feed and water the dogs while they are gone.

If it was me...I would call the Ranger and at the least file a complant that they left their dogs with no food or water. So that it would be on record that they again were being Stupid pet owners.
Then I would keep feeding them until the owners get home and when they do, hand them a bill for the food you gave to their dogs to keep them alive while they were away.

How do you know that noone goes over to feed them?
Just something to point out most dogs go crazy for cookies and eat them like they havn't ate in days. And then you make them a nice meal of course they aren't going to pass it up.
I guess if they have a bad rap with animals it's easier to belive they aren't getting food.

Because their water bowls are empty, and have been for the past 4 days.
The water I have given them is in my own bowls which are at the back corner of their property, and anyone who did come to feed them would be unaware of that.

Poor dogs. Atleast you are helping out. I would still report it. Then they would have to spend money on gas to get the dogs back.

Make sure they are very strong words and he is under no illusion that he must never do this again!!!!

[cassiesmom]

Wom, can you clonk the neighbors on their heads with a newspaper for me when they return? Seriously though, how sad of them to leave their dogs un-cared for. You get a huge gold star for looking after them as you have.

And I'm with pitc9 - give them a bill for the food and care you provided their dogs while they've been away. I called my sitter to see what she charges for visits to dogs and her fees are $18-$20 per visit. She said each visit is supposed to take 30 to 45 minutes.

I would definitely file a complaint WHILE they're away. If you saw a child left w/o food or water you'd call authorities and that kid would be out of there right then. I feel the same for animals...if someone isn't taking care of them, then take them and let the owners explain when they get back.

Wom,
I know I would do the same thing.

Good on ya!
