They 'belong' to the neighbors next door to me. When I first got here, the older woman came to introduce herself, and I invited her in to see the house. She asked if Lilbit was mine since he appeared about the same time I moved in. Said they had been feeding it because they felt sorry for it. Wasn't mine, but I told her the next time I saw her (I took her some cake after she had eye surgery) that if they would stop feeding him, I'd take him in... A few hours later she and her indignant daughter showed up at my door... Huff, puffing away (the daughter). Well, it boiled down to it was her daughter's dog (so she claimed) and how dare her mother give the dog away while she was sleeping. If I was willing to pay half the vet bills she would share him though (I must have idiot stamped on my forehead). I declined. 3 days later the po po were at my door over doggie dispute. Resolved, no dispute, I'm not an idiot.no excuse for not caring for animals--whose dogs are they?
