It always occurs to me in situations like this, that we give a lot of our waking hours thinking about the people involved..worry, anger... while they don't give a thought at all, and continue their days on their merry way. <br />I often wonder how many social workers, police and animal welfare workers lose sleep at night - as I mentioned before, some aspects of teaching are bad enough!<br />Thankfully, it seems the authorites have moved quickly on this. Here, particularly with social work, it is not always the case. I am thinking of you and sending positive thoughts that these people eventually do the right thing - and not just because they have to! They should WANT to - that's the sad part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-25203284644791577092012-09-14T23:28:47.026-03:002012-09-14T23:28:47.026-03:00Susan, I'm sure the SPCA will follow up if th...Susan, I'm sure the SPCA will follow up if the barking continues. As you say, the dog used to run loose -- of course, it's barking. Neither thing is right -- running loose or being tied up. But they don't understand what the dog really needs.<br /><br />Your photos today are wonderful. Gosh that little girl is so sweet and photogenic.

I am in no means ever on the front lines of animal cruelty & I so admire people like you who fight that fight in the horrible trenches. This situation perhaps is getting better - our county animal control (dog related bi-law enforcer) paid a visit to them today, since noon there has been no barking. <br /><br />Apparently they moved to the village from the country where the dog previously ran loose & free and he is not accustomed to being tied. Still is absolutely no excuse ... they have had there first warning. I've called the SPCA & they are ready to swoop in if the non-stop barking (helplessly) continues. <br /><br />This situation although bad I know in my heart is nothing compared to the cruelty you speak of and I do agree whole heartedly that we are a shameful species. Much love to you, your dear husband & you're huge gang of fur & love. xoxo Susan & les GangSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-36863870963636590382012-09-14T17:36:06.163-03:002012-09-14T17:36:06.163-03:00Susan, you are such an angel and I pray you are TH...Susan, you are such an angel and I pray you are THE angel for this poor mistreated dog!!! As rescuers, my husband and I see the results of unimaginable cruelty that animals suffer at the hands of humans. We are a shameful species as a whole!!! Those of us who deeply care can never take up the slack for all those idiots who simply do not "get it". We are helping to host a wonderful fundraiser here in North Texas this weekend at one of the local popular water parks, where people can bring their dogs to swim, since it is the last day of the season that the park can be open. We are taking an unbelievable ration of crap from some very vocal folks who are angry because we are requiring that all dogs in attendance be spayed &/or neutered. They have accused us of trying to eliminate all companion animals from life as we know it!!! I am staggered by their complete lunacy. I continue to pray for your lonely neighbor dog. I think his owners are BEYOND help!!! They probably need our prayers most of all but I am struggling with being concerned for their vacant souls.Vickie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13251792725792438123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-8596363253290080602012-09-14T14:43:09.655-03:002012-09-14T14:43:09.655-03:00Thanks John - after a morning of non stop barking ...Thanks John - after a morning of non stop barking it's been quiet all afternoon hopefully someone else has said something to them.<br /><br />I feel very lucky to have a 7 year old friend - way better than therapy for I am completely lost in the moments and young again when I spend time with her.
