3Dogs

I'm off to bed now - was going to have an early night but got all upset about the 2 dogs next door being left 'home alone' but will fill you in on that one tomorrow when I have calmed down

Anyway, night night - sleep well

Wind here dire earlier.
Bits off house at back.
Deep joy~not.

Evening guys - horrible day here, rainy and windy during night, and still windy today

Do you remember the 2 dogs next door we took in when neighbour's lady friend tried to top herself? The 22 year old Lhasa Apsos. Well, neighbour (A) quite often asks Alan to look after them when he is away visiting family or working, just to pop in to feed them, etc as they don't have walks. Well, Christmas Eve, his mate knocked on door and said that he had seen A at bus stop and A had said he'd knocked at our's but no answer and could he, the mate, look in on the dogs as he was going up Scotland for Christmas until Tuesday. I told his mate that Alan was bad with his back but that I would check in on them in the mornings, aas he said he would be lookking in on them in evenings

I did that, and I assume A came home on Tuesday as lights on in house/curtains closed for next few days. However, he ALWAYS goes up home for New Year, being Scottish, and we wondered if he'd gone as did not see any lights at weekend. Last night and the previous night I had heard scratching in pour kitchen which backs onto his lounge and assumed we had mice again, though it seemed rather loud. Then, about 10 pm last night Billy wouldn't settle, kept wanting out in garden but getting all worked up out there. We kept bringing him back in but he kept winging so let him out again

About 10.30 pm, when I let him out again, I could hear what was distressing him - one of the dogs from next door in their garden distressed, crying and howling. I woke Alan up and told him I was going next door to check - we have a key - as I was very worried. I gets in there to find Bruce in garden not knowing where he was going and what he was doing, banging into walls, fence, boxes, everything and very distressed. I got him into the house, but his coat was full of bits of leylandai etc and he was still as distressed as he couldn't see and looked to me like he'd had a stoke or something. The floor near the back door was swimming in water, with their empty water bowl tipped up, next to empty food bowl. The bowl with their dry food in was in middle of floor. I mopped up the floor and cleaned up their 'mess' in the sitting room, then found them some food and put it down with fresh water. Mitzy, the healthy one, went to drink and eat straight away, but Bruce just kept bumping into corners/walls, etc and when he tried to get near food he just tipped up the bowls again. I put them right again and Brucie went into sitting room and after stumbling round the room, wee'd on the floor

By this time I was rather panicking, and was going to ask Alan to come round to check bedroom in case A was in there in bed drunk, ill or worse, but after settling the dogs a bit, I looked myself and no-one there. There was a card through the door from PO saying unable to deliver parcel on 31st December so was getting angry by now that the dogs may had been left all this time alone, when we were next door and didn't realise

The dogs then got on their sofa and I came round home in quite a state, told Alan about it, sat down and wrote a long note saying what had happened and how I felt, asking if anyone was going in to see to the dogs or if A came home, to knock at our's or ring me. I let the dogs in garden, though only Mitzy went out and had a wee, then closed the house up and came home. But I was really worked up and couldn't even think of going to bed, and then I was up about 5 am using my inhaler too.

I went round at 11 am and no-one had been in :mad: Let Mitzy out, mopped floor, fed them - had to force Bruce's face into food so he could find it but he ate some then, added message to my note, settled them, then home

I went round at 4.30 pm, still no-one had been in :mad: Let Mitzy out, mopped floor, fed them - again had to take food to Bruce and stick his face in it, tried to settle them but Bruce just so distressing to watch trying to find his way round and then weeing in sitting room - mopped up again, and came home after adding another note. By the way, Bruce, when he found the water bowl, stood and drank for ages and ages, which is not a good sign :mad:

No PDSA hospital/surgery in Wisbech - but may be forced to take Bruce to our Vet which is PDSA registered for Pet Aid if no-one there by tomorrow :mad:

Is his mate not going in at all to check up on the dogs or the owner phoning you to ask or tell you when he maybe due back home?

People like that should not be allowed to have dogs.
