I would guess it has been in the neighborhood of two months now that my neighbors have a new dog. She was a stray they took in. They have 2 other dogs. These other dogs are exclusively indoor dogs. They only come out to do their business which is often in my front yard (including poop not picked up).
The new dog is exclusively outdoors. I don’t think they ever let her inside. Sensitive soul me is very disturbed by this.
One, dogs are pack animals. We are their pack. This sweet girl is being excluded from the pack. I would guess it makes her sad. The only time she is with anyone is when someone comes out to the patio to smoke or maybe when they come out in the evenings to be outside. I don’t even care if they are noisy all night long as it gives her company.
Two, she is bored. It breaks my heart to hear her in the morning crying. I know she would like to play through the fence with my dog. But they don’t want her to bark. So not only is she denied the chance to play my dog can’t play or have fun either. Furthermore, I don’t want to do anything to get her to bark because I don’t want them to get angry with her. So, the weirdo I am, I tiptoe around my yard to keep the noise down.
I know that is nuts to most people. But, that’s how I am. Do I care too much? I don’t know. I probably do. But I feel for her in my soul. I don’t know how to be any other way, and maybe I don’t want to be any other way.
