I really miss our old neighbors. They used to throw parties in their back yard and were extremely friendly. The new neighbors have a loud gas-powered leaf blower and drive a huge Mercedes SUV.. I guess their goal must be to find as many ways as possible to waste gasoline. Anyway, Wendy and I came home the other day and I noticed that the neighbors have a new dog…and it’s in a small doggy prison / cage. It looks so sad. It was 98°F last Friday and the dog looked like it was in a coma. I’m not a fan of having pets in town. I’ve never had a house pet. My childhood was spent on 6 acres in Iowa at my parent’s property and our pets roamed around the entire space. This dog in a cage makes me sad. The cage sits atop a concrete patio. It seems so inhumane…
