So it's Thursday, man the weeks just fly by when you don't have a job!! :) Today is Mike's birthday, I woke him up to a nice breakfast and some coffee ( I hate making coffee and usually don't do it). We aren't really celebrating until tomorrow though because he has homework tonight and a quiz tomorrow morning, plus he took off tomorrow. So I'm just going to cook him a good dinner and then we will have more festivities tomorrow. I tried to get one of his good friends to come in and party with him tomorrow night but that didn't work out.
So I'm really torn right now because we have these neighbors that have 4 dogs!! 4!! and we thought we had a lot!! Well, we just found out that they have them tied up all day and all night long with chains to their dog houses in their backyard!! Now if any of you know me, I'm a huge dog/animal lover and do not agree with any kind of animal abuse, mistreating, etc. I am not cool with it at all and will take action! hehe. Anyways, they are really nice neighbors, the dad is alittle scary (hehe), but they are nice and their kids are really nice too. I see the kids walk the dogs like once a week MAYBE, but I always assumed maybe the dogs slept in the garage at night or they got to come in because we don't hear them that often. Mike was clipping our bushes out back a few days ago and saw them tied up to their doghouses. They were like that again yesterday. I knew they were tied up a few months ago, but thought maybe it was just for the day or something. I just started crying, yes maybe hormones came into play, but I was so upset about this. I don't want to turn them in because that will just create bad blood between us and I don't want that, but I also just feel so bad for these dogs. I thought about going over and asking them why they have to be tied up all day, they have a new fence! but I am scared to, hehe. So I don't know what to do. I asked MIke and he just said "whatever you want to do." wow thanks hubby for that great advice, I know EXACTLY what I'm going to do now!! :) So I'm stumped, I might just wait until I see them outside and go talk to them, maybe since I'm pregnant they won't get too mad at me. I'll just show some belly skin and hold my belly and so they feel alittle more sensitive to me. hehe. So we will see what happens. I mean why have dogs in the first place ya know? I know that everyone doesn't spoil our dogs like we do, but atleast let them off the leash to play together or something!!! I just don't get it.
Anyways, feeling good today, I was alittle emotional last night. We were outback and Mike was clipping more bushes and they said it was supposed to rain last night and I just started crying thinking about the dogs out there. Mike was like ok, you need to get out of the house. hehe. So he took me to sonic to get a drink, that helped. :) I love him so much, he has such a random thought process though. Last night I was laying in bed watching a few shows and he was out in the living room. I walked in and he has this military net thing spread ALL the way across the living room. this thing was HUGE. I was like what in the heck are you doing?? He said I'm making a gilly suit. umm ok, because I know what that is. So he worked on this for 2 hours, he some how attached the netting to his military cami's that he used to wear in the marines. So a gilly suit I guess is one of those suits that people that hunt wear so you are REALLY camoflauged and the deer or whatever can't see you. You blend in totally with the bushes and stuff. So he randomly made one of these last night??? he hunts like once a year if that!! I love how his mind works though, I swear that guy can fix or make anything!! I remember one year he made a kilt to wear to the yearly Irish Festival we go to here. It was the funniest thing. It ended up being a mini skirt on him which was amusing in itself, but it actually came out kinda cute. He also made me a bikini when he was in Cuba for that year. He had requests from other guys to make them one for their girlfriends too. He underestimated the top A LOT, but hey it was pretty darn cute!! :) He is a regular handyman. He has fixed EVERYTHING that has broken around our house, that's why I keep him around. :) Just kiddin, i love him so much.....Happy Birthday baby....

Well I think you should comfront them about it, maybe Mike could be with you, but just say you noticed them being tied up and you were concerned. It is against the law now her in Austin, not sure if it's everywhere but you can report them to the sp whatever that is instead of talking to them. It's up to you but someone should do something.
ReplyDeleteI sent Mike a Happy Birthday message..
You guys have fun this weekend.
Can't believe he just randomly started making something like that. That is funny, guess he was bored. He does have an interesting mind though. I remember the kilt, that was funny. Also remember the little,little bikini..Guess his mom taught him well, about sewing. Too cool.
Have a good day
Love ya
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!!!! you need to call the animal cops and let them handle it that way they won't know it was u and they won't take anything out on your dogs but that is a serious offense and it needs to be called in. Just wante the animal planet...he he they they shows about that all the time.
