I woke up at 4am this morning from the sound of Chani’s tummy rumbling. Not necessarily an unusually thing for her, however, it seems as though she’s eaten something that’s left her feeling a little out of sorts. She’s outside right now, probably eating more grass which she’ll likely puke back up later. I hope it’s on the laminate floor and not my new area rug.

Speaking of dogs, our local newspaper had a front page story yesterday that really made me clench my fist and say a couple of naughty cuss words.

Bartlesville police responded to two separate reports of potential animal cruelty cases within just minutes of one another Monday.

Officers responded to the 1500 block of S.W. Jennings Avenue where a chained dog was found dead at approximately 3:30 p.m.

The animal still had a collar and chain around its neck. An empty water bucket with dry dog food in the bottom was found nearby. An above ground swimming pool filled with water was out of reach from the dog and there was no shade other than a small dog house. The dog appeared to have dug a hole in the dirt in an attempt to find water or stay cooler.

I was telling Mike that I really feel people should be tested for their ability to care of living things. “Here, keep this bamboo alive for a month and then we’ll talk about the dog.”
