A Chihuahua that size would be full grown. This is a 6 to 8 week old puppy. Going to be a decent sized dog.

What is it? A mutt?

Yes sir. I think Lab and Shepherd mix.

I used to work for carpet company and we just got done with a house and were leaving the neighborhood. This is in the middle of the summer. We stopped at the stop sign and I see this vacant, junked out, fenced-in house. Then I see this dog frantically pacing around not knowing what to do. You could see every one of his ribs. The former tenants had left him there for who knows how long without water or food. The other part that's sickening is that there were neighbors a few houses down sitting on their lawns not doing a thing about it. I gave him some leftovers from lunch which he inhaled and on the way back to the shop we passed by a Sherriff station and got the number for animal control. We called them and gave them the address of the house and a good description of it. I never went back but I hope they found him and I hope the former tenants got prosecuted.

I hate those commercials. The orphaned chimps just break your heart. So does the bear that was filmed at some stupid side show.

I don't think I've seen that one. I remember when the videos came out from that processing plant in California that was abusing cows like crazy.

When Best Buy first opened up here I made the mistake of buying "Banned from Television" on VHS. There are so many videos I wish I could un-see. They showed this elephant in Hawaii that went crazy and broke loose from the circus and was roaming the streets. The cops killed it with their guns instead of just tranquilizing it. They said if even a drop of elephant tranquilizer falls on your palm it can kill you so they did it the cruel way.

I work for a Property Management Company right now while I am trying to buy a local business from a long time friend. I hate the banks right now. They are idiots.

My job is basically Supervision of the Maintenance crews for the various communities that the company manages.

I was on a property this afternoon to do an inspection of an apartment that was an eviction for drugs and non payment of rent. I walk in this apartment and it is unreal. Trash everywhere. Moldy bread. A measuring cup with some soured milk on the floor. Holes in the walls everywhere.

So I'm walking through this place making notes of how much my guys are going to have to do, how long before it is a rentable unit again, etc.

I walk into the bedroom and I am checking out the closet area and there is puppy poop everywhere.

I turn around to leave and this little wobbly legged puppy is behind me. They left the puppy! It looks like it's part chocolate Labrador and part shepherd.

I picked this puppy up and he was trembling. I look around. No food or water. At least the Air was still on in the apartment.

I went down to the Office and I said, "that apartment was still occupied." The manager turned around and saw the puppy and she was as mad as me.

We got the puppy some food and water. All kinds of kids came in the office to see him. Everybody was talking about what to do with him. Finally the Manager's daughter-in-law says that if no one objects she will take the puppy. She has 2 boys whose Dad just left them and their Mom to shack up with some other woman. The people that left the puppy were some of his druggie friends. Junior is 7 or 8 and Nick is 4.

So we took the puppy to see his new kids. Nick looked up at his Mom and said, "can we name him Gizmo?"

The story is going to have a happy ending but right now I want to punch the people who lived there right in the mouth.

Thank heavens I was asked to do that inspection today.

Hos,you will not believe this:

About a year ago the house two houses down from mine was a rented to some scumbags.
We all suspected there was some shenanigans going on because there was al ways traffic in that house...lots of different cars,loud fights...pretty much the blueprint for drug use.
Well,they moved out and the owner of the house hired a couple of guys to fix it...
What they found:
A dead pitbull in the garage
holes in the wall
rotting food in the kitchen
dog feces
burned carpets
trash everywhere.

I asked one of the guys about a week later to show me around the house and the frst thing he told me was that they had to wear Hazmat suits to go in,and that he pucked within minutes of seeing/smelling the place.
Even after a week of restoring the place,it was still a mess.
So I guess we have a pattern of living under sub human conditions when drugs are involved.
Those clowns were subjected to multiple complaints by me and the other neighbors...thank God they are gone.

Sounds like the renters learned their lesson.

When I was about 16 I was a lifeguard at the local swimming pool. One day this boxer comes to the pool and is so excited to see me. Great dog, very friendly. I started calling him Bubba and I took him with me all over the place.

That night I was at the school with some of my friends shooting baskets and the people who owned him came to get him. They dragged him back home. It was like he didn't want to leave.

Next day he comes and finds me at the pool again. I took him everywhere again. Later on I took him home since I now knew where he lived because the people had come to get him. I watched them tie him up and I noticed that his food and water was about 2 feet beyond the slack of the rope.

I was more than a little pissed off.

Next day he came to find me again. By this time I felt like he was more my dog than theirs. I was feeding him, playing with him, taking him with me.

That night we were shooting hoops again and the family came to get Bubba. This time they were extremely rude and threatened to have me arrested if they ever caught me with their dog again. I tried to explain that the dog was finding me, not me taking the dog. Lots of threats.

This time I was seething mad and I went home immediately. I told my Mom to find Bubba a home that very night and tell them to expect me with the dog sometime that night. I knew he couldn't come home with me and he was not going to stay with those horrible people either.

I got dressed all in black and got a knife. I watched their house from the bushes in the desert until all the lights were off. About 30 minutes later I snuck into the yard, untied the rope, and took Bubba.

When I got home it was after midnight. My Mom was worried sick. I said, "where is he going?" I took him then and there to a very nice older couple named Buck and Naomi. They had stayed up waiting. I knew they would. They lived about 20 miles from our town, but the troubling thing for me was it was on the bus route to school. I was always worried one of the kids would see the dog as we went by.

About 3 weeks after school started (about 3 months after I stole the dog) I was sitting on the bus with one of those kids and we passed by the Chadburn's house and there was Bubba (they changed his name to Buddy because they called one the grandsons Bubba) and their dog Smokey out with Buck getting the mail.

I pointed the dog out to Pepe and said, "you guys used to have one of those dogs. I liked him. Whatever happened to him?" Pepe said the dog was always running away and one time he just never came back. They didn't know what happened to him. I was releived that he didn't recognize the dog or suspect anything.

Buddy lived to be almost 15.

I have never felt one day's remorse for having stolen that dog and I don't believe in stealing.

Sweet....!

Sometimes people suck!! Can you imagine those people if they have kids?

I am happy (yes happy) to say that Child Protective Services took their children away a few months ago when they first got involved in the drugs.

This is why this brat child will never learn:

Cherry was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, burglary, arson, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief. She was released to the custody of her mother.

I'm sure she'll be convicted of at least one felony and have that following her the rest of her life. Karma's a ******, too.

I've heard that one before, and that's how serial killers usually start out.

I had a terrible class of guys in middle school and highschool who used to brag about abusing animals. They were private Catholic schools, but I've never seen a worse collection of people in my life. I had some really bad luck.
