Brighter...

 

Yesterday was annoying.  It was cold, dark & doggish.  The trash hadn't been at the curb for an hour before the neighbor's dogs decided to tear into our trash.  I fixed & they came back several times.  I tried to talk to the neighbor, but they didn't answer the door.  I finally called the cops.  I don't know if they managed to do anything.  They finally picked up the trash this morning.  That's over for at least a week.  

It's brighter this morning.  Which is nice.  It's supposed to be at or near freezing for the next  couple of nights.   If I had a vote, that wouldn't happen, but I don't.

That's all for now.  Take care.

Rough Night...

I took my roomie to a party last night & went to see the movie Looper.  That initial part went alright.  The movie was OK.  Then the ride home began & things went downhill.  We drove into a hard rainstorm.  It took forever to make it home due to the downpour obscuring the road.  To add to that, the battery light in the van kept coming on.  We stopped a couple of times & the light was out when we restarted the care, but it came back on again later.  The van's electronic system hates the wet stuff. It always gets freaky in moist weather.

We made it home earlier than I expected, but it was still late.  I looked at some stuff & went to bed.  I was tired from the rough drive.  My legs are still stiff.  About 4:30 AM, there was a loud commotion out on the porch.  Thinking I might see a skunk, possum or even a person, I peeked out the shade & flicked on the light.  I saw nothing.  When I stepped out, there was a snapping pitbull, one of my "lovely" neighbors dogs. 

It had wrecked everything on the porch.  I called the police & they came shortly.  I had to retell my encounter to them.  I have no idea what happened to the dog.  Afterwards my cats began acting up & I had a coughing fit.  It took me almost an hour to get back to sleep.  I was not happy when it was time to wake up.  My energy is spent & I didn't find any good articles.  I'll write more tomorrow.

Warm Day...

Today's a bit warmer than it has been.  It might actually hit 90 F.  I'd like to stretch Fall out for as long as possible.  Had a bit of a rude start this morning.  The neighborhood has become over run with dogs.  Not necessarily wild dogs, but still unattended.  

I hate people who get animals they can't or won't take care of properly.  Dogs need space & in town, they need restraint, like a fenced-in yard.  Lately these mongrels have been roaming & causing a fuss.  They like the trash & have caused several people to have to slam on their brakes to avoid running the dogs down.  

This morning I heard a scuffle on my porch & there were two bull-mixes with a mix-breed puppy.  They were rutting about the porch looking for who knows what.  I went out, broom in hand, & scared them off the porch.  I don't like calling animal control, but these dogs has overstayed their welcome.  Since the dogs have arrived it's been an all-night bark-fest.  The trash is scattered & the neighborhood cats are pissed.  These dogs don't mouse, so the cats win out on that matter.

If you are going to have an animal, it is your responsibility.  No arguments, no debates.  Take care of it.
