Okay so this story is really more like a rant since I am not a writer.This story would better be told if I could shout it from a mountain top but since all I have is the blog I need to use more here it is...
Sunday afternoon around 2:30pm our new dog Mattie(who is huge)was found on our back porch bleeding from several what appeared to be clean cut wounds.She was so scared and shaking. Todd and I could not figure out if she was in a dog fight or what.I thought that maybe she got caught in barbed wire.Anyway Todd gave her a bath and cleaned her three wounds. She is a loving dog anyway but she was so sad lastnight. The bleeding stopped and the wounds looked ok this morning.
Well about 3:30 this afternoon I hear the dogs barking outside(yes we have four dogs)and I go out to see why and I see one of "my friends" husbands standing in my driveway.Not a good sign.
This is where I start getting mad.He starting telling me how sorry he was that he had to shoot my dog yesterday.Really!!! Sorry! I am not getting that from you mister!Well he said that Maddie jumped on his porch and growled at his son and scared him.Okay I totally see that if I did not know Maddie and she jumped on my porch and growled at me then yes maybe throw something at her but shoot her, REALLY? I have never seen her be ugly to anyone. And I think that maybe their dog who is not on a chain or in a yard (no collar and no shots unlike Maddie who HAS ON A FREAKING COLLAR)came over here like he does and she followed him home.He continued to tell me how sorry he was that this happened. Well then why did you do it?My guess is he thought that she would not make it home.But he ain't no Wyatt Erp and didn't kill her.
I understand that she needs to be in a fence and all but that is really not my point with why I am so pissed.What makes me mad is that these people say they are our friends yet no one called yesterday to tell me what had happened and when the "friend" called me this a.m. and talked for about an hour she forgot to tell me how my huge dog nearly ate her son. WHATEVER!!!
It is lack of respect for our friendship. Had someone told me this earlier then I would have not been so angry.I really think that the phone call this a.m. was to see if I was going to say"oh Maddie is dead or missing" but I bet she felt bad when I said that she was alive.
Well not sure if this friendship will survive the "shooting my dog" story.But like I said with such great friends who needs enemies!
Maddie is ok for now and is resting on the couch next to me while I fume and type this rant.
