Rain...

So I love rain. I finally was able to sleep last night without the fan on for ambient noise. I had the rain to thank. But last night the rain was a bad thing for one of our neighbors. Our immediate neighbor has a a mutt and a chocolate lab(and she is the most precious thing, if I could I would steal her, although that might be kind of obvious.) Anyways back to the story. So around 2 or 3 this morning Ian and I hear a sad howling noise, and little yelps. The poor dogs live in the little side yard no bigger than 4ft by 12ft and they were left out in the rain. I was enraged. It is sad when pets are given to the pound because the owner no longer wants them or cant take care of them anymore, and I foresee this happening to these poor guys if they don't shiver to death.

Our neighbors run an elderly home, so I understand why the dogs are outside, but at least let them in the garage. But really they shouldn't have gotten dogs in the first place with the business that they run. I wish there was something I could do.

Ian and I went and gave the lab a good head scratching this morning when we went to leave and Ian brought the trash can in. The dog can stand up against the fence and her head just peers over. One day she may be able to jump right over. That will be the day that she will be our dog, or if not then we will hoard her until we can find her a good loving home.
