I don’t have pets for a reason.
Do I look like a plumber? Why do my kids insist on shoving grass down the sink? A whole bucket full no less. When I asked they said they were just cleaning the grasshoppers jar out. *sigh*
They have decided to have a grasshopper as a pet. It lasted a day. This is why I don’t have pets. They would terrorize the pet and it would end up dead. I tried to have the school guinea pig stay at our house for a week during holidays. That lasted for 2 days. I gave it to a friend of mine so the pig would live for the rest of the week and I didn’t want to have to buy the school a new guinea pig. The poor pig. Over the two days, it endured being picked up and squished constantly, having its cage banged on, being put in the bath, being fed bubble bath, being drawn on by felts and having to endure being dressed up in doll clothes. *sigh* I don’t do pets.
I would love to have a golden retriever because I miss my dog Sandy. They are so beautiful. I just don’t believe in having a dog in town. If I lived on a farm I would have one. Dogs require room to run and play. I just feel sorry for big dogs that are cooped up inside the house or in fences all day.
Our neighbors have 2 large dogs and 1 small dog. I hate their dogs.. the one big dog sits on their deck and barks his head off when any one of my kids go out on the deck or in the backyard. The little dog keeps sneaking under the fence and hanging out in my yard. I love dogs, don’t get me wrong, but I hate these dogs. They poop and pee on our front yard. I don’t let my kids run around in the front yard anymore cuz sometimes the neighbors pick up the poo and sometimes they don’t. It’s just gross. I’ve complained to them before and have called the town over them as well. They are getting better, but even if the crap is picked up you can’t tell me that there are still remnants left in the grass. You can get tape worm or heart worm from that. It’s just gross. I want to grow a row of bushes between our front property so then their dogs will stay out of our front yard. I hate their dogs. They don’t even walk them that much either. The dogs live in their house most of the time, except for when they are on the deck barking at my kids. For little dogs ya, but big dogs? They need to run and have space to run around. That’s just my opinion cuz I grew up on a farm.
That bugs the hell out of me… not only that, but thankfully we have a fence around our back yard because they just let their dogs crap all over their backyard. Disgusting. They don’t pick it up right away and the smell is just raunchy. She runs a day home and when the kids go in the backyard to play they play “pick up the poop” game. YUCK! If the dog crap is not picked up she has the kids run over and point to where the crap is then she goes and scoops it up with her scooper… so gross. I’ve seen her play this game and she thinks it’s just fine… *UGH* I’m just so glad I don’t have to put my kids into a day home.
They also have 2 cats. Their cats keep sneaking into our yard and sleeping in our backyard. It has pooped in my kids sandbox and I just feel like picking it up by the tail and whipping it around my head and punting it’s butt back into my neighbors backyard. I wish they’d keep their damn pets out of my backyard. I want to move. Damn animals. If you have pets people take freakn’ care of them! I like cats and dogs but keep them from defecating all over my property!
As people I like my neighbors. They are nice and friendly. They always mow our lawn, and are really nice people… I just hate their pets. I wish their pets would spontaneously combust…
Again.. I wish I were Darth Vader… *sigh*
