A. I got a new little Aussie pup and we just love her. She's been here for a week now and has already learned so much. My mature Aussie, beagle, and Westie are all kind to her. I hope she grows up to be an amazing agility dog, but if she just grows to be well-behaved and a loving companion that will be wonderful too.
B. The woman who runs a local rescue stole two dogs from their owners. She told me she was planning to do it, didn't like the care they were getting and couldn't convince animal control to take them so she took them. She took them to a local vet, then had a friend transport them to another state. When the dogs were reported missing, the vet tech reported who had them. The dogs were returned to their owners, the friend is charged with larceny. The "rescue" lady now wonders why the vet won't write a letter for her so she can list dogs on Petfinder. How does any of this concern me? The rescue lady has control of the barn where I practice agility, the only barn in the area, so I get an earful two evenings a week. GGAAHH!!
C. My neighbor has been tethering his dog out each day when he goes to work. The dog is a beagle-Jack Russell cross. When first tethered he barked loudly for hours, then after a few days really settled down. My boyfriend has been taking him biscuits and I have been watching his water, and we try to keep him friendly. His howl sometimes sounds like a donkey braying, sweetly sadly hilarious. This morning a pit bull attacked him, and a Boston terrier helped. The pit had him by a back leg, didn't maintain a bite but rather kept biting. The Boston had him by the opposite ear, and the little dog couldn't do anything but bark hoarsly. I called the police, and they sent over animal control. By the time they arrived the little dog had been pulled out of his collar and across the street. He lost a lot of blood but is stable at the vet right now, and the two attacking dogs are restrained at their respective homes. AC can't pick them up without a warrant, because it was dog-on-dog. A tethered dog doesn't stand a chance
My neighbor just got home. He told me the little dog, Bruiser, died at the vet. RIP Bruiser.
