Animal Cruelty (crossposted)

On Sunday our next door neighbor decided to fell a tree and not let us know about it and when it barber chaired and twisted it fell in our kennel run behind the house and our dog Vinnie was back there!!!! We heard the crack of the tree got up and ran out back to find Vinnie still alive and NOT hit thankfully!!! We coudn't get to him though the owner of the other property got him for us and apologized to my dh I was too upset and I"ll leave out the yelling details because it wasn't pretty on my end at all!!!

Then Yesterday I had Pam and Nana Iris out and we were out on the porch and we heard this "thunk" "thunk" and someone say "yeah give it to them good"!!! So we turned around and looked acrost the street and the neighbor acrost the way was shooting a wrist rocket with something in it at the dogs next door to him!!!! Now mind you these dogs bark all day long it's a Mama and her pups so to me she's just protecting what is hers. But apparently to the neighbor acrost the way doesn't feel that they are doing enough and took matters into his own hands!!!!

I yelled "HEY" KNOCK IT OFF!!!! And said a few choices words about how I understood it's annoying but come on what he was doing was cruel and abusive to those dogs!!! The dogs scattered everywhich way and were so terrified the old gentle dog male one literally tried to squeeze through a gate not even a foot long!!! I called the owners at work and then the guy came over to "apologize" and I think he was either stoned or drunk really couldn't tell because I wouldn't let him up my patio stairs!!! But something was up because he kept repeating himself and he slurred a couple of times too and just didn't look right so to speak. So the police have been called and someone should be coming out today, oh yeah and he was launching tennis balls and baseballs at the dogs. Case is in pending as the owner's dd is being induced today with her baby boy. Need to check up on the amimal cruelty laws here in the state of Oregon.

Do you have relatives that don't like children can you sympathize with me? I have a SIL who will tolerate them but when she did her journal entry she said that the kids were "managable"??? WTH??? She didn't do anything didn't offer to help with clean up or anything so where does she get off saying anything like that???? My kids were great they didn't grab at her stuff they left her alone for the most part and did their own thing, how can you be so mean about kids??? But the cool thing is I got to visit with my little brother so I can somewhat look past that right??? And her home made cranberry sauce well lets just say I didn't eat any of it that she thought was so awesome and yummy. Man what is up with me I'm being horrid!!! Can I blame it on PMS???

I didn't even get any pics this year *sniff* I was in the kitchen 90% of the time and was so busy that when I sat down for the first time around 10pm I realized none were taken. James we found out has high blood pressure and the new med they have him on makes him really sleepy so I didn't want to ask him to do it. And the other person who I would of had to do it was in the kitchen with me!! OH well Christmas I WILL do pics I will!!!
