<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The people that lived next to me moved the
beginning of the week. In the 3 1/2 years I lived here they had numerous
dogs and never cared for them the way I would have, but that's a whole different
story. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Last night at 10pm I put Holly out in the yard for
last call. I usually stand outside on the step in case she would start to
bark, can't let her do that late at night. She is just ready to come in
and I hear a dog barking in the yard next to me. All I can think is that
the idiots moved and left the doxie in the yard.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I come in and grab the phone and call Animal
Services. They tell me that since they left the dog it is animal abuse and
put me thru to the Sheriff's department. They tell me that someone will be
out soon, but who knows how long that could be. I then call Dawn at
Daphneyland to find out how much I feed a doxie....it's only 8pm there so I know
I'm not going to wake her.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm still on the phone with her when the Sheriff
shows up. I was impressed that they got there so fast. My bedroom
window is open b/c it's still in the 70's here and Holly starts howling when
the deputy gets out of her car. It's so quiet here at night that half
of San Antonio heard her last night. The deputy and I are trying to talk
while I try to keep Holly quiet, not an easy task...LOL</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>She checked the yard and gave the dog water, but
couldn't take her b/c there was furniture in the house. She did come to my
door to tell me what was going on. She then went back to her car to fill
out the report. She was still there when a strange vehicle pulled into the
driveway. It turns out that new people moved in and it was their dog that
was in the yard....LOL</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Isn't that a great way to welcome a
new neighbor??? </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
