I hear barking and go outside to see what's up...it the neighbor's dog in my yard. What a cute lil guy. I look at his tag and call the number on it and a guy answers.. "Hello?" "Hi this it Trisha, I live in the yellow house to the left of you" "OooooooooKkkkkkkaaaaaaaayyyyyyy" "Well anyway just calling to let you know your lil dog is in my yard, he must have ran right through your electric fence" "Oh my lil dog huh that doesn't sound like something he would do. Well there's nothing I can do about it because I'm not home" I told him fine I'll just put the dog out back with my dog until he gets home. That didn't work, the dog and my dog didn't seem to like each other much and to top it all off...where's my cats??? I decide to take the dog home and see if he'll stay within the electric fence this time. I took his collar off while we walked to the fence so he wouldn't get shocked. I put the collar back on him and like a flash he's runnin at high speed towards my house again. I grab a dog lead that I sometimes put my dog on and walk him back over again. Hook his collar up to the lead and he takes off runnin so fast he breaks his collar. Now he finds out where my chickens are and runs up and down the fence scaring the crap out of them. Long story short I took MY dog's collar and put it on that dog and tied the lead onto the neighbors porch. When I go tonight to get my stuff back I'm going to have a lil chat with Mr. OoooooooooooKkkkkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy. During all this running around I scratched my back on a branch while also walking barefoot through the woods to the guys house. Good thing I was home today. So I'm dripping with sweat and ticked off!!!
I just went over with some water for the lil guy. He's very cute and very sweet, sweet to people that is. I'm sure if he gets the chance he'd take out all of my chickens. I was even nice and fixed his collar. I'm still sweating. I think I just dropped 20lbs of water weight.
You have a good heart! I don't know that I would do the same in that situation. I guess you can count that as your good deed for the day.
LOL reminds me of milkshake my neighbors dog a tiny white maltese and my arch enemy I almost killed the poor little thing the other day when the hens were free ranging and he came skipping along on his little way. LOL those little buggars are fast. No ware near as bad as huckleberry my neighbors retarded yellow lab who has eaten a chicken by getting out of his fence! I decked him and beat him up a little he is so dang stupid it doesn't seem to bother him though My dog tries her best to protect her buddies. Hope this resolves and the stupid electric fence is fixed. Henry
Oh wow, I am so glad you are home today!! I hope when " mr oooooohhhkaaaaaaayyyyy" gets home you give him a " whats for" talk. Poor dog....to have an owner like that! Glad he was not able to get your chickens! You are a good person, to care for that little dog....I guess some would have either shot it, or called animal controll. Kudos to you for taking it water too!
Whew... I'd a had that dog over to the pound... I'm so done with my neighbors' dogs over here! They get to eat a LOT more of my birds than I do! Stacy
Quote:I thought about that but I don't want him used to being at my house, he may just keep coming back. Mr Ok needs to turn up the power on his electric fence. The dog didn't even cry when he ran through it. Next time he might run right for the road.
So you live next to the annoying boss on 'Office Space' movie??? LOL You are a good neighbor to take the time and trouble to take the dog back over there and make sure it is OK. Hopefully he appreciates what you did today as opposed to what COULD have happened to his dog. If MR 'OK' gets annoyed at you, then next time the dog shows up in your yard, I'd tie him up and call the county animal control...
