[QUOTE="donna723, post: 231899, member: 1883"] I've never understood either why some people have dogs. Right across the street from my back yard there's a guy that has two dogs - I don't know these people at all. They seem like nice enough dogs, don't bark a lot, don't seem to be at all aggressive or threatening, no real problem with them. But for several YEARS now these two dogs have lived in seperate small chain link pens in the back yard. There is no grass in the pens, just mud, and they each have a little wooden thing that could generously be called a 'dog house' - more of a beat up wooden box. I've never seen anyone beat or abuse the dogs, they obviously are fed and watered regularly and their wooden boxes qualify as 'shelter', so legally they aren't being abused. But nobody pays attention to them at all other than dumping food in a bowl! They're just 'there' in their wire pens, like little concentration camp victims! They can't even play with each other because they're in seperate pens. When it rains, the pens are nothing but mud. They're out there whether it's 100 degrees or it's 10 degrees with a foot of snow on the ground. And in all this time I have NEVER seen anyone play with either dog, take them out of the pen to be exercised, or let in to the house when the weather is bad! I feel so bad for them. So why do these people get dogs in the first place? [/QUOTE]
