Seriously, just shoot me
Mar. 5th, 2008 05:06 pmI should be out of the house, working. I can't get a job to save my life (except, of course, for the one I DID get and then quit on the verge of a mental breakdown). I shouldn't be HERE, now, hearing EVERY FUCKING DOG IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD going insane over whatever their microscopic doggie brains find so interesting. The neighbors behind us (featuring Shannon Sturges as the Internet Thief!) leave their poor dog outside alone all afternoon to yip and yowl in its boredom/loneliness. This MUST stop. I can't have the doors or windows open from 3pm on, because that little fucker's yipping cuts through EVERYTHING. I can even hear it right now through the walls and everything on the other side of the house. It's THAT piercing. If it were howling I'd be on the phone to animal control.
Then the fuckers across the street from us, who have three massive dogs in a tiny house leave their front door open so their dogs can bark their stupid little heads off whenever anything moves in their line of site. Even me, inside my own house. Yeah, they're THAT stupid.
Don't get me wrong. I love dogs. I'd be thrilled to get a dog (or two). They're wonderful animals when they're trained properly and well treated. It's the asshole owners I want to eviscerate. What makes people who live in a crowded neighborhood think they don't need to control their animals? There are at least three cats which practically live in our yard. They won't let us anywhere near them, but they're content to live here. And then there's the dogs. Aaaaaaaaugh! The cats I can live with. I'm more concerned I might accidentally run one over than anything else. But the dogs...oh man. A few doors down is a cute little bichon frise whose owners leave it outside pretty much all the time. Why even HAVE a dog if you're going keep it segregated? Dogs are social animals! They thrive on interacting with their pack. Keeping one shut out and isolated is cruel, and it's a damn good way to raise a biter.
Ah, but what do I know? I'm just a worthless bum who can't get a job.
