Tales from The Dog House

My Family Pet is still Missing.... Do I want to think the worst?
 Or should I consider where the real Blame lies?

    "Wild Predators", of  your  Family Pet's!

• Alligators, that lie in wait at sources of water for your unsuspecting pet.
• Bob Cats/Cougars/Bears/Wolves/Coyote's/ and even larger birds of prey such as : Eagles/Great Horned Owls can do serious do serious harm, When they mistake your small Pet for a rabbit or squirrel...
• While coons and possums don't usually kill your pet for food, they can cause serious injury and transmit diseases that can...KILL. (Keep your pets Vaccinated). Rabies, which is contagious to Humans causes certain Death...and there is no cure!
• "Last But not Least" is the,"Human Predator"...The Most Dangerous of all...
• 
  

   What could Humans do to my "Family Pet", and "Why"? 

   The answers to this is not easy to talk about, because there are so many. Sometimes things happen by accident and sometimes through no fault of anyone specific. Most often because we don't stop and think, "Prevention First"! And then there's the "nature of the beast", which does come into play also. Whether it's

the Pet itself / The Owner/ Or the Stranger, and yes even our Neighbor's. There are thousands of stories regarding incidences/accidents with Pet's, on the internet and in the news, with  everyday bringing new ones. Are they accidents or incidents?

Which is worse? I don't know the answer to that one yet, but I do know that most, "Are Preventable with a little Forethought ".

   As I said before, "Ignorance is not Bliss", when it comes to You,Your Family, Your Friends or Your Pets,

being needlessly Harmed, maimed, Lost or even Killed . Most of times, It's your Pet that pays the price!

 Children:

Will tease and torment dogs, tied or confined in cages and fenced yards...Why?
Because it gives them a false sense of safety. As well as something to laugh at!
Notice that I said, False Sense of Safety!!!
Because dogs in these types of situations are too often teased into such a frenzied state. Day after
day, week after week, And month after month, they become more aggressive by instincts. It is there instinct to protect where they live...if it's a fenced yard/ a kennel run/ or on a 15' chain ..." It Does Not Matter",  when he get's loose... If  he don't bite you out of the built-up aggressions, over being teased daily, He will bite you out of fear for himself... Because Now He is Loose and He Can! Please do not overlook these situations... your dog can break a chain/ rope/ or collar... especially if it's made in china...!  He can dig out or jump/climb over and even go through a fence. I have seen dogs chew through 2x4's on wooden cages and Chain link on kennel doors.

 Adults:

Will harm your pet for reasons beyond reasoning...

Dog Fights: (sick)(very sad)(Abusive)-bragging rights/money

Theft: (sick and sad), This act is usually done to support fighting and drugs and should be added to The  "War on Crime" with stiffer legal penalties for violations.
In economic hard times some do this to gain from reward money's offered...money (Sad and sick) No pet, likes being Lost or Stolen from it's Family and the only Love they know.

Breeding (sad) because the taxes and burdens shared by others, is an ever increasing problem so these people can stay in the business of making money off others and the countless lives of "Breed dogs", that wind up in shelters or euthanized every YEAR!  (Money and more Money... but who's making the money And at what price to pay? ( Just to add mention ...We the People should not support these businesses. And promote bans of all exotic imports into this country except by certain responsible caretakers of these species. Permitted only under strict guidelines to protect, and preserve Natural Habitats. Until politicians take up these positions, they are not on board with protecting the environment for anyone)!

Barking (sick) and very very sad, that anyone would Beat and Glue a Dog's Mouth Shut...But it's in the news and if I were the owner, I would 1st asked myself did my dog bark incessantly when he was outside? and how long was he outside to do this? Was he fenced in? was there any holes where he could have escaped through? Could it be a neighbor that don't like barking and driven to such a horrendous action...as to lean over my fence pick my dog up, take him inside his house,beat him for barking and then glue his mouth shut with super glue, so he would never bark again... not realizing his actions would cause this dog's death? "Ignorance is not Bliss"!

Friends/Family/Neighbors:

Don't want dogs in their yards/ parks or on sidewalks/ don't like dogs/ don't like you/ don't like children...  (Very unhappy people in general), and they are the ones that put nails/tacks/poison in cheeses and drop them in dog parks and in Halloween candy, (in the news too). Antifreeze in water left outside for your, "At large Pet's".
Unfortunately these are just a few of Life's Problems for Family's with Pets. And people that commit these acts don't know that, God created the world for everyone....not just "Themselves"! Here's my word that isn't a word. "Co-Habitation"!


Confucius says:  He read in the news yesterday of a man in Florida who sawed his dogs leg off with a handsaw... What kind of Justice should he get? And What kind will he get? Do we know "Why"?  No...
Is it excusable? or sick? or both? or none of the above? Will we march for this Dog's Justice?
Probably not because he's just a dog....But this I say to you..."Here is where social behaviors begins..." with the exception, that this man was an adult...But what is he teaching his children? And What are you teaching yours by not bringing,"Justice to such Crimes"?

Confused says: All things are punishable, Under God's Law and through Him...Under Man's Law? Dunno...
