Just Another Manic Monday
Or the bitchy post about Aunt Flo and my stupid neighbors
Well, the kids are back, the husband is gone to work….and I’m downing coffee like it’s my life blood. Ok, at this moment it is my life blood. I have already screamed about 500 times this morning, telling kids to stop playing on the back of the couch, pulling the blinds up, screeching at each other, ohmygod the list goes on and on…and it’s just barely 9:30AM. Shit, I need more coffee…
My weekend without the kids and with DH went wonderfully, well that was until Sunday afternoon, when Aunt Flo and her stupid ass showed up…gawd damn that bitch. So, since the AF was here and I had a camera and a whole day left without my kids, I told DH to be my photographic subject…(NO! NOT IN THAT WAY! GAWD you dirty minded freaks!) I was taking good photos of him, he doesn’t have any that are recent. This is just one of many that I got but this one I like the best.

So, now you all know what my husband looks like…this is sort of freaky, to tell you the truth….Oh, well. Now, don’t be thinking that you’ll be getting any shots of me, because I can tell you that you will NEVER see me well you MIGHT but I’d have to be made over by a team of top artists..and that will never happen so…you get my gist.
Speaking of getting gists…..My phone rings last night about 8:30 and I answer it, it is my pet ID people letting me know that a neighbor of mine has Sunshine…ok, I didn’t even know she was out. Every once in a while she’ll run off down the street to the back of the neighborhood then in about 10-20 mins she’s back. She was a free-roaming dog before we got her and try as we might to keep her around us (we’re trying to teach her to just stick around us when we go out, she won’t use a leash, I think she was abused by one)….At any rate, one day she runs off but she’s back fairly quickly, ok DH had to go find her but you know… At any rate, she ran off but it was sporadically and it was when we weren’t looking. It takes her about 3 seconds and she can be gone from sight and sound, I don’t know if she has some sort of super running power or what but if we didn’t watch her like a hawk she was gone.
So, this lady calls and she’s pissed that my dog has been out, I can understand that. Well then she tells me about how her dog got out and was hit by a car, and yeah, I realize that Sunshine could be hit by a car and I worry about her, but we could NOT find her some nights (we’d wait up until she came home). Well the woman is trying to be polite but you can tell that she’d really like to rip me a new one….then the stupid moron tells me, “Well me and the neighbors have been feeding her, we thought she was a stray!” WTF?!?!?! no fucking wonder she coming back you stupid bitch, YOU ARE FEEDING HER!!!! And besides, when does a stray dog (that, according to their theroy, was dropped off here by a family in another county, because her tags are from the county we got her in) Run around with a collar and TWO tags?? One being rabies? The other a microchip tag???? Now, call me crazy but if I were the type of person to drop a dog off, I wouldn’t leave her identification on her, HELLFUCKINGOOOO????!!!!!! Then the stupid idiots were FEEDING HER!!!!!!! When the woman told me that I laughed and said, “OH! Well that’s why she keeps running off, down there.” STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!! (no, I didn’t call her stupid, lol) The woman got offended and I told her we’d come get our dog. Then of course she acts all high and mighty towards DH. She even asked DH if we really wanted her and if not she’d take her…Because you know, she thought she knew all about dogs, hers was an outside dog who got loose and went right into the main road the nighborhood is off of…my dog is an inside dog.
Now, don’t get me wrong, we’ve been watching her and I’ve even put her on the tie-out but she just SITS when she’s on the tie-out, then she comes inside goes into her crate and that’s it. If we keep tying her out and then in the crate, the minute we open the door or she gets loose she’s off, and then she’ll stay gone for about an hour or more…trust me… I know that I need a fence and we’re working on that, but gawd damn, I’m doing the best I can and besides, Sunshine is TERRIFIED of traffic and anything loud. And ya know, before she was being fed she only ran off MAYBE once a week, MAYBE! At any rate, we’re tying her out and working on the whole fence thing…gawd, I just need to move out into the country with about 10 acres for her and Sammie to roam on with NO FUCKING NEIGHBORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, you can comment and tell me what a horrible dog-owner I am, I already know that…I rescued her and give her a warm home, but because she likes to explore, I’m a horrible person…I’ll go hide under a rock….You can even tell me about your dogs that were hit by cars…..Because gawd knows that I’m a moron and just don’t get it…. (I’m so being facetious here).

yummmm, hes a hottie! oh i’m sorry, what was that you were saying?
Wow, look at turtlepapa! I’m with Jill, now what about a dog again? Oh yea, you’re a moron! J/K Our dog got out not too long ago after he dug a whole and managed to push open the privacy gate. I wouldn’t have even known except I went to throw out some trash and saw him barking two houses down. Ugh. He’s an outside dog though. He and Naazir would tear up too much shit if he was indoors all day.
You know, Play Girl does offer up money for those pictures… Something to start the fence fund off with??
I never fed a stray dog myself…I usually tried to find it’s owners imediately because, let’s face it, 80+% of dogs lack the ability to process such information as, “Oh, look!! A car!! It’s bigger than me!! Maybe I better get out of the road.”…and the places that I’ve lived, it was more common for cats to be actual strays than dogs. I have fed cats. (Which also tend to toss their collars too even if they have a home.) Never scolded anyone. Did find it sorta sad when the neighbor’s cat disappeared at the other house I lived at. Still didn’t scold the neighbor…until he tried to kiss me…but that’s a whole ‘nother headache.
Just work on the fence and tell Miss High and Mighty to bite your ass…or better yet…eat you esp. while Auntie Flo’s there… Okay…enough stupidity and grossness for this morning… ‘Have a better day tomorrow girl!! *waves*
Very handsome DH:)
When I was little we had a dashund who would get out, even with a fence, did I mention his back legs were paralysed as well? When a dog’s determined, there’s not much you can do. Good luck with the fence though. Aunt Flo finally left our house, I was having the same type of mornings while she was here.
Good luck!

You did a great job with that shot!
Stupid Aunt Flo!
You don’t even have a fence, really?
Great. Now not only do I know WHAT my bil calls out in bed but I also now know his ‘sex’ look.
I’ll be over here, in the corner, scraping out my eyeballs with a rusty fork if you need me.
LOL I am sorry I can’t stop laughing at Hussy’s comment.
Love the picture
as for Sunshine I have many ideas that might help (one being shooting that neighbor) but I think you have it under control. You gave a nice home and I have seen pictures of her. Being around as many dogs as I am I can tell when they are not happy. Just love her and give her the best home you can as you are currently doing.
yeah that just made me sound like some kind of dog whisper freak didn’t it?
Good-lookin’ guy! LOL.
As for your neighbor, what a damn moron–only a dumbass thinks a dog with a collar and tags is a stray. And duh, keep feeding the dog and it’s sure to come back at the first opportunity–LOL. Some people just need to find a brain.
