The other day I posted about the brats next door yelling at my dog. Well the other day I took shadow out for her walk, she was going potty outside, and the little girl tells yells at her. “Bad dog”. I turned around and told her that dog isn’t bad you’re being bad for yelling at us. Now be quiet. She went in and cried to her mom, the next walk I had shadow on the little girl said nothing, she don’t talk to me anymore. Which is somewhat funny, that one simple sentence would get her to cry. Oh well, not what my intentions was it was more to get her to stop screaming at the dog. Shadow is not very timid unless someone makes a loud noise and once that happens shadow will not go potty for 5 to 10 minutes or maybe not at all depending on how scared she gets by yelling. Shadow is a good dog but lately she been a little pill. She loves greeting people, but she likes trying to talk to them too and this sometimes worries people and I understand that. I need to get some
cheap printing for all the pictures of the dog and cat I have here. Hubby got quiet of few of her doing her business, those one can be deleted.

I would like to know how many times Otis needs to be just about squish to learn walking under my feet is not a good plan; or hiding in places where I might decide to close because it is in the way. Since I know the cat will hide behind my not so modern furniture if I move it I have to look behind it, it’s amazing how he can fit behind a space almost smaller then his body. I guess if his head fits it, he can fit his body into the space. Last night I just about tripped over him when I got up, he gotten into a habit of sitting right next to my chair almost in front of me. If I am not getting ready to walk on him, I am trying to lay my lap top on him. He meows at me for that, well what he expects if he laying right where I normally keep the computer when not in use.
Shadow isn’t too bad her thing is to try to get in your lap when you have the computer there. Then if you do sit with her she somehow manages to do something to make typing challenging or closes out documents that are open.

Today one of the brats was yelling at the dog again. She was calling the dog bad dog, so I turned around and told her, “That dog isn’t doing anything wrong, so leave her be.” The dog was simply going potty and well she would be a bad dog if she did it indoor. I do not understand why parents can’t teach other kids to leave people alone and mind their own business.
Then again what do I expect they are always yelling in the hallway and if it keeps up I might need to report it to management because enough is enough. I mind my own business and try to be nice to people who I leave around and I clean up the dogs miss no complaints at all. I also clean up after other people animals, so being yelled frustrates me. I was never allowed to yell at anyone that was an adult as a child. My mom would not have put up with that behavior for two minutes.
The only time I was allowed to yell was in I was wearing kids costumesfor Halloween or when I was in danger and there was a need for me to get help.

On my way home for my hubby and my date night I was shocked at what I saw. Seeing the lady walk her dogs wasn’t the shocking thing at all, but it was what the dogs where wearing that shocked me. They had Diapers on the dogs, so why even bother walking them outside, not like they need to be outside with diapers on. They will make a mess in there and well guess it going to have to be cleaned up one way or another.
Now had I seen this person walking with a shovel for cleaning up the mess or poop bags or other stuff similar to it, that would not have been shocking it would be like using
yakima racks but not using it for what it was meant to be use for then wondering why it not working correctly.
I had to look twice to make sure my eyes were not playing any tricks on me.

Let me start by saying sorry if this offends anyone who Muslin, but I am getting frustrated with some things that are happening when I walk my dog. I live in a building where dogs are not allowed without special circumstances. We have a mental health dog for dad, we had to fight to get her here. Now what I would like to know from the Muslims is what is best having a dog that your father in law, whose 88 in a few days to help him be mentally stable. This is the last dog him and mom got together, so taking the dog away is like taking something his wife gave him and one of the only things he was able to keep. So should I seriously take away his dog! Because someone religion tells them it bad to have a dog. Sorry G-d created Dogs too, and I bet G-d loves his creation even if they are unclean! I get it I know dogs are not considered a clean animal at least not to eat. I am not eating her, and she is not going to last in the wild so it would be wrong to abandon her. I am sorry if you moved to this country you have to expect some of our beliefs are going to be different and you cannot make someone else follow your rules.
What gives you the right to scream at me or my dog who have not done anything to you. I keep her on a short leash when I know someone out who Muslim because I do not want the dog jumping on the person. When asked by a child who I know is Muslim I tell the child you need to have your parents tell me it is okay. I am considerate of your beliefs, to a point where I can meet my dad needs yet you’re not considerate to my dog or me.
So I ask what is best take away my hubby father’s dog because someone religious belief. I might as well hand dad a box cutter and tell him here play with this, I mean taking his dog would be the same results. I wouldn’t give him a box cutter to play with, so why would I take away his dog. It his last thing he has from his wife of 55 years. How would it feel if you lost something your wife or husband gave you that was the last thing they gave you and someone from a other culture came to you and told you, you can’t have it or always screamed when you had out your dog. How would it feel if you was in my shoes. It takes forever for me to calm the dog, once she scared because someone screamed at her. When that happens and hubby has her the dog doesn’t calm she just wants to come back in to me and dad.
Yes I have grown attached to the dog, it hard not to grow attached to something when you feed it, groom it and take care of it’s needs.
Now I do want to say thank you to a few Muslim who have actually took the time to ask me. Why I am breaking the rules, and understanding when I explain to them it for my father in law. I am not mad when I get asked question and explain why. This doesn’t bother me it’s the scream and rudeness that bugs me.
When dad did not have his dog at first when living here, he often talked of killing himself. Since the dog been here he hasn’t spoke about killing himself and giving up, unless he trying to piss us kids off. We got to the point of hiding things where he could hurt himself, so I don’t know maybe I am frustrated with people being rude and not taking the time to find out why.

Oh my goodness, I think I am going to scratch my leg off and need some medical assistance program. I didn’t realize at the cabin I got something. I had a little red patch on my leg, and it still here and it just getting itchier and itchier. Well I looked up on line, I knew it was a bug bite or something.. I never had chiggers or anything like it. It looks like they infected me with their young. They are little vampire all over my leg in that patch of skin and it itches. I am telling I have never itched so bad in my life and I have had chicken pox with measles. I remember that as being unpleasant but this is just not cool. I guess tomorrow I better go to the drug store and get something for me to put on my poor leg before I itch my leg off. If that don’t help in a few days I better go to the doctor and make sure I didn’t get a infection of some type. I been doing nothing but itching. I figured it was a spider bite because I tend to react badly to spiders, so I figure it was that but normally by now I feel better and no itchy.

Otis is trying to talk to me. He has five different meows the meow he gives the dog, which means I am going to sit on you. The meow he gives the dog, which means hahahahaha watch out. The meow I need water or food, which is annoying. The meow watch out mom or her hubby and going to claw you pant leg or attack you. The meow of I want love and attention, this one is like his broken meow that more low pitch then anything. Otis has been playing games on the dog, almost feel sorry for the dog when Otis is in the chair and Shadow is just walking by the cat. Smack on the bottom, so the dog turns around and gets another smack on the bottom.
It funny watching them interact together when they are playing and chasing each other. They both like to create mischief, thank goodness, they can’t conspire against us, or we’d need
security cameras to see who started what.
Otis has put on weight again and been able to get all his of food. If he eating he will not let shadow near him. If he is drinking, the dog won’t come near him. I love watching my pets its fun.
This morning Otis was doing his meow that’s says give me love.

Well it looks like the cat has figure out what I am going to do. I am leaving him for a week. We cannot take him on a long road trip because he would be more stressed out then it would be worth taking him. Otis is easily stressed by car trips, moving him here wasn’t pleasant at all for the person who did it, I probably should have moved him, but I didn’t have enough room in the cab of the u haul so a friend did the job for me. Not like Otis needs a horse tack to be happy once he home he content taking him to the vet is not fun. He screams the whole time, so we figured it was kinder to have our neighbor take care of him. She a sweet and very kind person, so it’s nice to have her as a neighbor. I do not have to worry about my cat. Last time she cared for Otis she gave him a new cat dish, I am surprised he hasn’t picked it up like he did he’s big bowl and bring it to me when it empty. Otis is a large cat and after the dog moved in lost a little weight. The dog keeps him busy and if she can, she steals the cat food. The cat lately has been picking on the dog just as meanly as the dog does him. I try not to let them fight t0o much but I do let Otis smack the dog around a little bit and sometimes will let the dog do the same thing to the cat.
The dog loves to travel, and prefers to be in my lap while I drive but I prefer her to be in the backseat or passenger seat in her seatbelt. I am glad someone created something like that for little dogs, to keep them safer when they cannot be in a kennel on a trip.
What I do not get is why I need to tell both animals get off when I am packing or getting ready to go somewhere then it’s like the cat sheds on command.

I would like to know if my cat is trying to kill me. To bad my cat doesn’t understand the I can’t see you, so I am stepping on you and going to bang my head in the wall. I managed to twist my ankle and almost hit the corner of the wall with my had thank goodness I didn’t do that, I wonder what phentermine is used for.
The cat was mad at me, but came for his loving when I got him, from out from under the couch. He moewed at me and ran away. Well what he expect he under my feet and expects me not to step on him. I know he doing it because he loves me, but some days I think he trying to kill me.
