I was tired and angry and hurting but after some rest I went back to that neighbors house for Ladybird. I know where the young man lives so I showed up and got her back. She’s here and in her crate.
She’ll be on her tie out length lead BEFORE she goes outside. That way all I have to do is hook the lead to the pole thing. I’ll start working on getting myself one of those collar things quickly.
Yesterday was a long, long day but what I did wasn’t right. It may be understandable but it wasn’t right.
I’m going back to sleep now.
oh austin, you’re such a big smooshy teddy bear.
I applaud you for allowing yourself both to go through the emotions and allowing yourself to change your mind. Maybe next time you’ll just ask the neighbor to take the dog for the rest of the day so you can get over being mad at her.
Don’t beat yourself up, all right?
hugs n such

My goodness…girl it’s been crazy.
You should have seen the look on his face when I said, No that’s not my dog.
So how does a person apologize to a neighbor for lying through her teeth when he knows dang on well you’re lying through your teeth? You go over with a heart felt apology AND a fresh batch of homemade cinnamon rolls and beg for forgiveness.
They’ve got 4 dogs of their own but they did say and I quote, “If need be we’ll look out for her squirrly ass.” They’re willing to take her for a day for me to calm down from chasing her all over the place and denting up the Aussiemobile and such. She’d better be happy I like her “squiirrly ass.”
He’s got 4 dogs, my neighbor across the street has 3, directly beside me there are 2 dogs, my friends across from them have 3. This neighborhood is full of dogs but it was mine we all chased these many times.

You made cinnamon rolls???? Damn woman I need to figure out how to get you to lie to ME. They lucked out. They’re probably hoping you get mad at LB much more often.
I thought what you did was hilarious. I never thought of just going, “No, that dog/cat/boyfriend is not mine.” I mean, that’s really creative. It’s just exactly what we want to be true sometimes isn’t it? But the fact that you actually said it made me laugh out loud, I’ll admit it. That is like the truth of the moment, and well, no harm done.
Sounds like you got yourself a hunting dog. Time to learn how to skeet shoot…Just think how fine you’ll look in one of those plaid hunting caps…
Who am I Sara Palin? I should call and ask for hunting lessons.
*spitting water out on keyboard laughing*
On the Sara Palin note, I think it’s time my neighbors took down their signs of support for the Moose Huntress. Despite being Republican’s I allowed them to take LB home and I even gave them baked goods…all this knowing full well they’re Republicans. But come on, they’re just pressing it now. The only house in the neighborhood with McCain/Palin signs and those damn things are still up. Get over it. He was “electorally bitch slapped.” Accept it, heal and move the effe on.
LB Update
I talked to the vet this morning. Ladybird goes in next week to get fixed. They said she might be trying to get out because she may have gone into heat again. Gracious sakes alive is that even possible? This is only the second female dog I’ve had. I was much younger when I had the first and she came spayed. Anyway, so she goes in next week. Hopefully it will help with her not trying to get out. The vet said her sudden desire to leave the yard and wander could be because she’s in heat. He said it’s okay to go ahead and spay her especially since she’s not feeding Halo. Even Brody, Fife Jr.’s pup is trying to mate with her. That’ll all be fixed very soon.
Brody won’t be here that much longer because I told Fife Jr. to come and get his dog and lizards. This is not an animal shelter. If he can’t hold up his part of the deal he needs to come and get his dog. He can’t leave me with a pup he doesn’t bring food for and he can not renege on his end of the agreed upon price for him staying here.
I may have my moments of irresponsibility but I’m not going to starve his dog or mine. If they run out of food they end up eating mine and he knows that. I told him to come and get his dog and lizards because this is ridiculous. This is not the Aussie Home for Wayward Dogs and Reptiles.
