Neighbor's doggy

:D Mine for some reason likes sleeping with her bum to my face and very often lets out these really disgusting farts. Then she looks all innocent when I'm disgusted with her.

Must be a Jack Russel thing .... mine bitch does the same except she does the silent but violent routine, then looks at the cat as if to say, you disgusting feline ... :)
 
Please at least provide the address if you cannot do something about it. I know somebody who will, if not myself.

Taking it to a shelter would be better than leaving it freezing in the yard.

My dumb thing has his own bedroom, bed and all, but guaranteed 6am rain, hail, snow, -100C he's at the gates sitting, shaking and patiently waiting for dog walkers etc to come by. In storms he'll sit waiting with his eyes closed, getting drenched. He knows who walks by when, and he waits regardless of weather. So, I guess someone walking/driving by would see 'oh the poor puppy is outside in the cold, owners a bastard etc', little do they know its his choice and the spoilt brat has free reign and could stay in bed all day if he chooses.

My pavement special (cross boerboel alsatian and whatever else) knows when it's monday (rubbish day) and he will sit at the gate, barking away just for the hell of it, and when someone comes to start digging through all the bins he starts jumping up and down.....he's made it over the gate a few times but does not go into the road where the bins are placed...he's too scared....

The rubbish collectors have on occasion thrown stuff at him to keep him away while they empty the bin and that aggravates him even more. but he refuses point blank to go into the street.

once they are gone he sits at the gate, whining so that he can get let in....

and he sleeps inside, whether it be summer or winter, but refuses to sleep on a blanket or couch, he likes the tiles....

I'm a bit biased though, I believe all animals should be inside. Especially in this cold :p

Even the massive dogs. They also deserve warmth

If I had space for a massive dog, I would get one and he/she would sleep inside.

Me too! We'll be moving this year out of the small flat and I told my mom I'm getting a puppy and a kitty. Will raise them together

Make sure you bring the Guinea Fowl and field mice with their frail little bodies indoor every night as well :p

Letting a dog sleep inside, putting on a jacket and wrapping him in 20 layers of fine Egyptian cotton is human emotion at play. You are cold so therefor the dog must be cold. Meanwhile they probably handle the cold way better than us (miniature handbag rats aside).

...not that ours don't have their blankets and stuff in their dog houses (or boxes in the garage).

They have their beds to sleep on - nobody is forcing them to sleep in our bed. They just prefer it. Hell, if they go for their pee and wanna stay outside, we'd let them.

In fact, my wife says every week it's time to make them sleep in their own beds. My reaction is "ya, right, that's gonna happen".
 
And then the lesser active TEXTILE mutt has some comfort issues ....

Send that across to next door .... maybe his dog will get jealous and bite him.
 
My one dog also does that. Will post pic when I get back from lunch

What? When I grew up our jack russells slept outside. Only when it was really cold did they sleep in the garage.

And to say they are not outside dogs...they need the space. They definitely aren't "indoor lapdogs"

Mine sleeps inside the house where I know he is safe from whatever is going on outside and he is warm.

Also ensures he doesn't bark at night. He has his own bed in the living room with lots of blankets and he is well trained so I don't see why he needs to stay outside at night.

This is a good point. I'd rather have them inside than outside where somebody could just chuck a piece of poisoned meat at them.
 
Mine is inside when I am at home and outside when I am not. I tried putting her in the backroom to keep her warm when I went out at night, but she prefers being outside. She'd prefer being on the couch, but that's not going to happen - she chews stuff if she's bored, and I'm not going to pack everything I own away. She curls up in a ball, sticks her nose up her arse and smells her own farts to keep herself warm.
 
We have 2 Jack Russells and they have quite a large kennel and proper 'human' blankets lining their kennel on all sides plus a weatherproof/waterproof cover over their kennel for the rainy winters in CT plus a modified duvet for them to snuggle in. We love our dogs more than other humans and having them outside is no reflection of our lack of concern and love for them. We have them inside most of the day though.Jack Russells don't necessarily need to sleep indoors, especially considering our Winters aren't all that bitter. Different story I believe were our winters bitterly cold. As long as they have a warm shelter they're happy. As to the OP's neighbor leaving the little one without without any warmth or proper shelter - there is a special place in hell reserved for people like that. The sooner they get there...the better. Just my opinion.

My dogs do not have blankets in their kennels. I use hay. The blankets don't last 1 day with them, They tear it to shreds.

Yes, hay is a super effective insulator. I use it for the winter beds of my ferals. I fill the winter house with stray and make a tunnel in the middle of the straw. Works much better than blankies.

Does the doggy not even have a kennel?

One of the rescue people showed me a pic of a dog that froze to death in its own back yard. This can easily happen. How could they? Have to spoken to them about it?

Just to add to her sad story.

My dad has given her food a few times. She chews the plastic bowls then when my dad goes to see if she has food/water, there is none.

I don't wanna get the SPCA involved because if they put her down, it will be my fault. We also can't take her in because we have 2 dogs of our own and they're not the friendliest

If she is a friendly little jack Russell, they won't necessarily put her down. She will find a good home.
