I am utterly appalled right now.
I got home from work, my dad was doing the dishes for once (I almost fainted!) and he was even agreeable to me eating lunch before doing anything else. All he was going to ask me to do was hold the door for him while he carried the chicken pans from last night outside so he could dump the water/juice/chunks out before putting them in the sink to wash. He said he wanted to do that but that I should go ahead and eat first (shocked again!). Since that was all I agreed to do it before fixing my lunch. Then, as I start making my lunch I went to throw something away and I look out of the side kitchen window, lo and behold, the blind farm dog is right outside.
DAMMIT
How many times do these people need to be told to keep an eye on him? It's the second time this week! Just because he’s blind doesn’t mean he doesn’t wander. He could have gotten hit! To add insult to injury, NOBODY was home over there. They left the property without putting the damn dog inside. Aside from him possibly getting hit, he comes over and riles my dog up which is crap. Also, as I mentioned in a previous post, he sometimes tears things up over here … the worst was busting in the porch door. Most importantly, and I cannot stress it enough, he could have gotten hit!
A lot of times, in our area, when people hit animals they don’t die right away, or at all. I mean it would still be just as horrible even if people were home … but what if nobody was home and he had to lie in the road or drag himself off somewhere and NOBODY at the farm our my house was home? That poor dog would have to suffer that much more just because they’re completely irresponsible.
If I could do it right I would so totally wait until I knew nobody was around on the hill and I would swipe that dog. Then I’d take him to a no kill adoption shelter and tell them his owners were mistreating him. That would cause a lot of problems though so I can’t exactly plan that one out.
It just angers me greatly. I sent all of them, including my husband (since he comes and goes from the farm as he pleases as well), except my FIL (who is cell phone illiterate), a text that said:
“This is being sent to all who apply, except {FIL’s name
here}, who is cell phone illiterate. YOU
HAVE GOT TO STOP LEAVING THE DOG OUT UNSUPERVISED! He almost got hit crossing
the road today!”
I haven’t heard back from anybody. My SIL was even there right beforehand. I saw her there as I was getting out of my car. Right before that she had texted and asked me if we had plans for Saturday because she wanted our help moving her furniture around in the living room. They have a huge aquarium and were changing it out, well a tub of water broke all over the carpet (2 days ago) and they wanted to move stuff and clean it up more. I didn’t want to help before … now I especially have no intentions to help. Why should I lend a hand to irresponsible people? I don’t even feel bad about wanting to say no. They constantly ask for help and then do not return it because “they’ve got three kids to take care of”.
Bullshit I say! Yes I understand taking care of kids is a handful, but do not presume to tell me that your life and your goings on are much more complex and stressful than mine is. Especially when I KNOW that you sit around and watch TV most of the day. You do not work. You aren’t expected to clean the house, do laundry, go shopping, etc. You are able to frivolously spend money that would be better put in your children’s mouths or on their asses but you’d rather buy a fuckin’ TV!
I am SO mad about this right now. I cannot stand stupid, careless, irresponsible people. I ESPECIALLY cannot stand people when they are stupid, careless and irresponsible with their pets. To me that just screams that you’re trash and don’t deserve to share the planet’s air supply with me.
Whew, I seriously need to calm down. I’m sure some of you reading can understand why this would wind me up though, especially with me being as much of an animal lover as I am. All right, on to other things, perhaps a picture post if I can get Photobucket, my computer and the internet to get along.
