Gah! DOGS!!!!

Well, here I am again. I'm suffering once more from a bout of writer's block... ... No... I take that back, writer laziness! I know what I have to type, but I can't bring myself to it. Ah, well. I'm sure I can threaten myself with spinach to write it XP
TF's Inner Child: GAH! SPINACH!!! NOOOOO!!!!! *runs around screaming*

Alright, I've held my tongue long enough about the stupid dogs in my neighborhood. You see, we're a small neighborhood - maybe twenty houses (though probably much less) and of those twenty houses seven have dogs. Now one of those is my house but because of - I dunno - a law about dogs running loose we have a fenced in yard for my baby.

Now, how many of those other six keep their dogs under lock and key? ONE!!!! One house besides ours is lawabidding. What about those five dogs? They have become a pack of absolute MONGRALS running around the neighborhood. They tear up lawn furniture, destroy plants, eat decorations on the porch... It's unbelievable. The largest of this pack is a siberian husky and the other male is a labrador! Then there's a mutt, a corgi, and a pug! And do you know where they prefer to stay? In the largest yard of course! And whose is that, you ask? Why mine of course!

I have to pick up after my own dog and cat - I don't need to be picking up other people's! The sad thing is, one of the owners is my best friend and they had to get rid of their last dog for just this reason. They had a fence but didn't use it and now it's not there at all! The husky is 10 years old so its owners were like "Ah, it'll die soon anyway...". The pug's owners had their lawn destroyed by the other two and were like "Fine! We'll give them a taste of their own medicine!" (though I personally believe it backfired). The corgi has arthridis and just sits on its owner's pourch so I have problem with it. The mutt actually started it all! She's the worst - getting in people's garbage, eating plants, destroying anything it can grab and she's my friend's dog! And they know she acts like this - but they don't care! But this labrador? It showed up yesterday! I don't know where it came from but I've had enough! Just because they've got collars on (which, only two of them do, actually) they're still in violation of the law. But can anyone inforce it? No! Our entire stinkin' county doesn't have one dog catcher!

I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't take Cash (my tiny cocker spaniel) on walks anymore because they try to kill him - they almost did las time if I hadn't kicked them off of him (and I hadn't stepped off of my own land yet!). I guess the time and age has come where people truly don't care for each other anymore. Back in my old neighborhood Not many people were friends and it was too large for our tastes but everyone kept their dogs up and under control! And when stray dogs came the dog catcher got them and took them to the county pound. I don't know - I'm just sick of having to obey the law only to have other brake it without consequences.

Well, let me go try to type again - this is one ramble out ;P
