<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Book Antiqua"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>Bev, your vent is exactly what I experience
with my neighbor’s dog Mya who loves to escape from her yard and rattle
Speedy. I never understood way my neighbor keeps getting dog after dog. All
her dogs are kept outside 24/7. No shelter, no anything. Pisses me off.
Actually, shortly after I wrote to the DD about Mya, I had a chance to “dognap”
her as she was roaming the streets about to get hit by a car. I took her to a
shelter, not in our district but one where I volunteer at. This shelter runs an
animal advocate program where volunteers do the groundwork of finding a home, interviewing,
and doing a home check (like a rescue would but only dogs are kept at the
shelter) I had put my name on her to be her advocate. No way was this sweet
girl going to another bad home.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Book Antiqua"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>Later in the week my neighbor, nearly in
tears asked if I had seen Mya. That she loved Mya and was scared she was hurt,
yad, yad, yad. I told her that I saw Mya wandering the streets when I left my
house. It made me so angry because if she cared so much for the dog why does
she let her roam the streets, why always outside, why no attention to the dog.
Of course she couldn’t give me an answer and I didn’t bother
telling her the rest of Mya’s story. Well, as luck would have it, one of
my neighbor’s friend went to visit that particular shelter and informed
my neighbor. Mya is back at my neighbors house, again always outside, no
attention, no walks. The only difference is she now can’t escape into the
street. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
