Today I was out refilling the feeders in the coops. I could hear yelling coming from the place across the street, the infamous "dog" neighbors. Out in the yard yelling and cussing at each other again, nothing new it happens a LOT
so fast forward about an hour and I'm on my way into town. Low and behold, the woman is walking to town. It's nasty outside, so I stopped and asked if she wanted a ride. She got in talking about the current boyfriend and how she wants him out, blah blah blah....so I said to her, "yeah I was outside feeding the chickens and heard y'all fighting, you know, what chickens I have left".....yes I really said that. To which she responded, "i would have paid you for the chickens, you didn't have to shoot my grand kids dog" ... ok, so if she could pay me for the chickens, why doesn't she???? I didn't ask that, my response was 'I could have killed all 3 of the dogs but didn't, hate that I had to kill the grand kids pet, but I also hate that my grand kids pets got killed"......she had no response to that.
so on the way to town, I asked where to drop her off, she had called a friend to meet her at a store, pick her up to take her to the courthouse to file an eviction notice because the boyfriend won't leave. Her and her son (who was the one responsible for the dogs being loose saturday) both work, the boyfriend doesn't work. She told me their power was off, their water is off, and they had no food in the trailer.....
ok, so she could pay me for the chickens, but her power is off? she can keep multiple dogs, but they have no food? she was smoking a cigarette when I stopped beside her walking,(no she wasn't getting in my truck smoking, she put it out) but she has no water???? I'm going to have to hush before I seriously damage my testimony, but this is the woman who knocked on my door last summer to tell me they had no food, and hadn't eaten in a few days, that I drove into town and brought them back a bag of take out food, and gave her a list of charitable organizations she could call, who, as I was backing out her drive way from taking her food, yelled to the other neighbor who was heading out that she'd give him some money if he'd bring her back a carton of cigarettes.....from that point on, I no longer helped them with anything else. I hate feeling this way but I'll probably just drive on by next time I see her walking....
rant over, but y'all prayin folks, do me a favor and add them and me to your lists for a while please
