We had the greatest neighbors, but then they moved. Then in moved this family who had a couple of dogs.
Okay, I thought, Animal people, this is good.
Trust me when I tell you, it wasnt good. It became a mission for my family to ensure their dogs were fed and had access to water. The owner of the home got a brother and sister Bugg (Boston Terrier/Pug mix) and threw them out in the backyard. The one time I spoke to her she said, I have to get at least one of them fixed, so they dont breed.
Shortly thereafter came Litter #1. They got rid of those gorgeous pups quickly.
One day I was out back and saw a pup on their back deck. He looked just like the other pups. A few days later, I saw the older boy from the home and asked about the pup. He said that his niece had named the pup Ping and that they had gotten rid of his siblings and his parents. Then they promptly tossed him out into the backyard and forgot about him. I began checking on him at night to ensure he had food and water, which he often didnt. He was just a tiny little baby.

It never fails to amaze me how cruel some people can be towards their pets.

(29,673 posts)5. This is how I received my last wiener dog.......a friend knew I was a huge wiener dog fan.....
and when she saw this poor little dog outside in all kinds of weather she went over one day and just picked her up and the next time she saw me, gave me this little wiener dog. She told me that the little girl was always out side, never received any human interaction and looked so sad. I didn't ask to many questions, took her, loved her and she had a grand life for almost 14 years. She had to have a back operation about 4 months after I got her..... $1900 dollars for that, but it was so worth it, she had a pain and carefree life. She passed away 3 years ago......and I miss her terribly. I hate when people have ANY pets and don't care for them.....it's just so sad.
