It's been dog chaos here lately.
Last Saturday afternoon, Missy was barking viciously at the neighbor right against her invisible fence line (she can't pass it without getting shocked). The neighbor(we'll call him Bob) got really upset at Luke and was like, "I can't even work in my own yard!" and was even cussing at him! Bob came over to our yard and Missy bit him on the leg! Bob was REALLY upset then. Poor Luke! He was the only one outside dealing with all this. I'm not quite sure why Bob came over to our yard when Missy was acting as mean as she was. The vet says that she was scared and was trying to defend herself.... which I think might be true, because Bob hasn't been real nice to Missy lately. Bob then came to our front door and Dad talked to him. He told Dad that Missy's been barking right toward his bedroom window about every night for a long time, and it's driving him and his wife crazy! (don't ask me why he didn't tell us this sooner.) The bite was pretty bad.. he had blood running down his leg and Dad said you could see teeth marks. So, Dad said we need to get rid of Missy and do it right away. That evening we took her over to my Uncle & Aunt's house for the time being. We thought that was that, and all we had to do was find Missy a new permanent home.
On Monday, the Animal Control called and said that we have to take Missy to the vet for an examination, keep her in a garage or pen for 10 days, and take her back to the vet later for another examination. It's the law, and they have to do it for the rabies thing. THANKFULLY, we took Missy to the vet for all her shots just about a month and a half ago. We thought it was so stupid that Bob had called the Animal Control... but he had to go to the doctor for the bite because he has a heart problem and blah blah blah blah..........but the doctors office was going to call the Animal control if Bob wasn't going to.
ANYWHO, we took Missy to the vet, brought her back here, and have been kept her chained up or in the garage. She can't stand it. Poor thing! 6 days down only 4 more to go!!
In other words:
FREE
FEMALE AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD
Is very devoted to her owners, but can be snippy with strangers, and is not always real fond of them (although she loves some!)
CALL w/any questions!
We have to sell her if we ever want peace with our neighbors. :( I'm very sad......
On a brighter and not as boring note...
I had another good weekend. I enjoy them soo much more during the school year... it's a great break from school!
Friday night Kendra spent the night. We actually did schoolwork together.... we usually don't accomplish much, but we did this time! And of course, I was shortened on sleep.
Saturday day was not so good, but Saturday night I babysat. Until 12:30. I was dead Sunday morning. But I had to keep going, because after church I played the piano for 2 hours at Katelyn Fehr & Mark Stoller's wedding reception. Then I headed on over to ACYF in Tremont. That was pretty good.
I've been meaning to write this week, but it's now another weekend!! YAY!!!!

Wendi-
I have the perfect solution for your dog, Missy, but you'll have to bring her to Indianapolis this weekend. Signs posted at two different churches: Blessing of animals, First Sunday in October, 3:00 PM! I think that is just what your dog needs to fix the "snippyness" in her. Let me know if you plan to come!
Love you-
Aunt Sandy
