what the heck!

OK, Alexander is old, OK? He likes to hang out under the trees in the backyard when its sunny. He's old and going deaf and has crooked front legs (since birth) OK? Today the police came to the door (while my parents were babysitting) and said there have been complaints of abuse toward Alexander- his legs aren't right. Great. Last week when it was sunny a guy came by saying he was non-responsive, and then two women came by fearing the worst for poor old Alexander. I say thank you to them- but really people, the police?? And they left him food of some sort (which I'm sure he's probably allergic to) and water in cottage cheese container and old food containers just inside the fence. Today, after my class, I posted a sign to all interested park-goers regarding our pets. Gad.

Oh jeez. I can't believe somebody called the police. And I'm very glad you put up a sign because people think they are seeing something different from reality. We -- you and I -- can't imagine abusing an animal in any way... but there are people who do. And any animal lover goes berserk when we think we're witnessing it. Sorry that people have gotten the wrongest possible impression. Poor Alexander. He should probably go to heaven soon.

Jeez! is right!! Where were these knuckleheads when people were keying my car or stealing stuff out of yours and Michaels cars...what the HELL!? You should put on the sign that Alexander takes great offense to people saying or making notice of his bone structure! It's who is he! GAD is right!!!
