You just don't do that.

So I went to the apartment to trash it out for garbage night and get a second coat of paint on the kitchen.

When I got there I ended up having to sit in my van for 5 minutes first because Max, the beagle that lived in the apartment across from mine was running around the street and parking area.

After the creepy redneck next-door shooed him away and I parked I learned Max's story and it PISSED ME OFF.

See, the [insert derogatory insulting racist N word here (which I don't like to use but it fits in this case)] that Max belonged to packed up to move. Aparently this morning when they went to leave, Max - being the playful beagle year-or-two year old that he is- didn't want to get in the car right away. So rather than try to catch him, the asshats left him.

That's right. They left him behind.

So creepy redneck next-door, another guy from the town houses on the opposite side of the street and I, along with three boys in blue from Cheektowaga PD spent the better part of an hour trying to corrale Max and get him into one of the squad cars so that they could take him off to the animal shelter.

I was so pissed off. If I had the time right now to nurture a dog I would have brought him home with me. Max was sweet, obviously upset at being abandoned by his humans and just wanted some attention.

The police took down the name and phone number for the landlords and are going to track the asshats down that left their dog behind to fend for himself in a fairly high traffic area with no food or water or anything else other than a collar that was on him too tightly.

I just hope that his former humans find themselves rotting for a long time in the special hell reserved just for people who don't know how to treat a four legged member of the family.

Thank you for taking care of Max. I'm going to go pile with Sunny and Eos now.

God, there are not enough venomous, nasty, vulgar words in the dictionary that I could spit out right now and would even begin to suit this person. I would just like to hope that he gets the biggest Karmic bitch slap of his life and furthermore rots in the worst places of Hell, repeatedly abandoned by someone else.

It sickens me how people treat their animals. It truly, truly sickens me.

Incidentally I don't have a pissed off enough avatar for this... so Obi-Wan will have to suffice. >:(

That’s just wrong. I would be angry too. I have to say…I can see you with Max. Maybe it was a sign that you need the little guy in your life? :-] Or…maybe that little guy needs you. I know having a dog is a big commitment.

What she said.

You know I've been starting to think on getting a dog now that I have a house.

It wasn't meant for me to have Max but I know the right little one is out there and will be waiting for me when i'm ready

There is not strong enough language in existence to fully articulate my level of "pissed off". Before I was born my parents took in an Irish Setter who was dropped off in downtown Binghamton. She was pregnant and apparently her owners didn't want her. She was the BEST dog - incredibly well trained and hellishly smart. Since then every dog I've ever had has been from a shelter.

Jake was actually brought here to Denver from a shelter in Taos, New Mexico. He's the Best too -- the best that has been all mine. LOL... The previous dogs were more my parents dogs.

That aside, I would be sorely happy to spend some time teaching those idiots that left their dog some better manners. I ran in to the same there here with a little Rottie girl - last year - Thanksgiving Day. (Yes, I found out that she was dropped off/let go.)

The minute that I'm out of school I will be getting another dog. I'll be going back to one of the area shelters and find the perfect puppy for me.

*mutters some rather colorful language directed at those people who mistreat those four footed family members in their care.*
