A couple of times daily the owners would trot these puppies out into their front yard (in plain view of our front window). And they'd do all sorts of cute little puppy things like nip at each others ears and sleep in a big heaping pile on top of one another.It drove JoAnna berzerk! (See photo below--I'd find her in this pose often, just staring at these puppies for minutes at a time followed soon thereafter with a tearful plea to get one). The floodwaters got pretty high a few times, but the levees held up and I was able to avoid caving in.
Well the puppies eventually got whittled down from 12 to 4. Those last 4 just hung around for like a month and then last week they all vanished. Advantage: Josh. Where'd they go? I think 3 scenarios are possible A) Someone came and bought all 4 overgrown/not-so-cute-anymore puppies. Highly unlikely. B) The owners dropped them off at the Humane Society. Maybe. C) Those 4 puppies have graduated on to puppy heaven. Probably.
Our neighbors are shady to begin with, I wouldn't put it past them. They park their cars on their front lawn, have tons of random late night visitors, front lawn shouting matches, etc. Mostly smoke, no fire, but still. So we bid a melancholy farewell to the formerly cute little puppies who used to make my life difficult.
Jo-I'm sorry that the pups are gone.Josh-you need to add another category to REACTIONS-cruel!!!!I know a little boy that loved to sit at that same window and watch the puppies.So the neighbors are a little shady and here I slept so good on the air mattress under that window.
ReplyDeleteMark and Josh should start a club, "We are assholes because we don't buy our wife/fiancee the dog they really need, and we constantly pretend we are going to, but then we don't"
