The more people I meet the more I like my dog, part two. January 31, 2008
DOG UPDATE!
Animal control came yesterday. I don’t know what they did, but we did see a note on the door yesterday afternoon. And today the dog is not outside.
There was a crate in the backyard that is not there today. So I guess he is now inside the house in a crate. I hope that’s a good thing. He’s not out in the cold and weather, but I hope they don’t leave him in that crate all day, even when they’re home. And I hope he has access to food and water. Short of breaking in (which I am not sure I am above), there’s no way to know.
We leave our dog in a crate while we’re at lunch and check on her at lunch every day. My parents think it’s cruel to “leave her in that cage” because they grew up in a time where all dogs were outside dogs. But she likes her crate – it makes her feel safe and secure when we aren’t able to be there to watch her.
I am totally cool with the crate. Miles has one. I just meant that I hope he’s not in there 24 hours a day.
