CraZiness
I really want a dog. And I have no ill feelings towards any particular breed. I've always had labs (one black, one chocolate)
BUT the people next to me have a scary mean lab & very mean and scary Rott.
both large dogs in a 6x10 kennel with no shade - too small & hot for any dog
the fact that they bark when they see me (an unknown person) doesn't bother me - it's the KIND of bark. it's a very mean snarling bark when I pull up at night or leave in the morning and I'm pretty sure that they can jump over the top of that kennel. and that's very scary.
I tried being nice to the dogs, letting them smell me and see who I was and that I wasn't a threat but the sudden snarling growl/bark scared me and they then sensed fear so that was bad - I later tried to retify this with a tasty hotdog and that really didn't help me but they enjoyed it.
the lab they have is on the small side and the rott is at least twice that size. both dogs seem unusally vicious. the people don't seem to be mean to them so I wonder if they were rescued... it's very strange to me because both dogs normally have such good temperments. I think I've only met 2 truly mean labs and 1 mean rott in all the dogs I've ever seen and their people were very mean to them so they were jsut protecting themselves. My main worry is that they have started jumping when I come out and if they wanted to hurt me they could, the rott is taller than me standing and both are powerful dogs so if they both got out I'd be done for.
it's sad to see such good dogs be mean. I think it's really cruel that they ever have them out there without a tarp or something over the kennel, esp since there's concrete on the bottom. I know they are inside most of the day but even the mornign sun is hot in this terrible heat and I've never seen a water bowl out there. It makes me sad. And I really hope they are just barking to bark and try and be scary and they don't really want to hurt me for being close to their house.
I feel like sucha loaf but I don't know what to do.
I wouldn't hate staying here for some extra time to finish my project but I need a break and I have things to do and anymore waiting around would jsut KILL me.
I have decided that I'm running some of my things up to Chucktown on Wednesday so that I will be able to move my very own self out of Salem. - I'm not sure right now why exactly I couldn't get everything in one car load the first tiem down here since I only took home and arm full of clothes but whatever, the less there is to deal with the day of the better.
NOW, if I could just get my b/f to return/answer my calls or pull in his cell phone or get it off silent or whatever so that I can notify him of the change in plans that would be fantastic.
I really want to go home.
I'm bored out of my skull and I miss everyone. And really would like to get some shit done.
I'm super excited about my party and Gretchen's garage sale and six flags and fukin' getting back to school so that I can god damn graduate.
I'm gonna try and something to do now - adios folks. ~Z
