Bogans. Dogs.
I have a few stories.
One of my sets of neighbours has a dog. Well two dogs actually. The first is a yellow labrador that looks more like a decorated beer keg than a dog, the second is Chuck.
The big one.
They have been looking after him “for a few weeks, until his owner buys a new house” for about six month now.
The problem being, and the reason I’m involved, and the dog is in my house is he keeps getting out.
Her gets out, I take him back, at that point I suspect they hit him. I base this on his reactions. When we first met he was easy to approach and pat, now he is frightened and a few times I’ve gone to grab him or walked behing he and had him make a fear sound.
They also leave him and the other dog for weekends at a time. At which point he escapes their yard. Thus far he has totally destroyed thier fence to get out, and last week while they were away ate through their central heating under thier house.
I found out about the heating last week, upon taking him back having had him in for two days.
I’m in a bad way.
Cant ignore the problem. – When out he sniffs around my front yard making my dog bark.
Tried talking to the neighbour, politlely so far. This week they spent a whoe day securing their yard before going away, he was out a hour later.
I dont want to call the pound. I dont think they will pick him up. I am considering making that threat to the neighbours though…possibly at the cost of good relations.
He is fantastic, and well behaved when I have him knows all the standard commands, very gentle. But I really dont want another dog, and I cant afford to deal with the big potantial for damage having seen what he did to thier house.
In short I have no idea what to do.

Also I saw this car.

Also got some other new neighbours recently. The Sudanese family (perfect apart from the occational jacket floating around at night) were replaced with some bitch.
Drunk fucks had four police visits last night including a $400 fine for noise…and still didnt shut the fuck up.
I got about two hours sleep…at work now, 18 hour shift. Great.
