The neighbors on one side of me have 2 big dogs and a small dog. They're the ones who've had several litters of puppies and who've sold the puppies. At least they seem to take pretty good care of their dogs - they let them run free in the back yard, and appear to take them indoors at times.
The neighbors on another side have at least 4 dogs. The 3 older dogs always used to be chained up in the backyard, each with its own little area and own doghouse. The younger puppy-dog is not on a chain and wanders around. I don't know if those neighbors ever take the dogs off their chains. Now they've put one of the older dogs into a fairly small metal cage - only big enough for him to stand and turn around in. I saw him in there last week, and today I saw him in there again - now they've got a thin blue broken plastic sheet over the top of the cage. It's dang cold outside today - in the lower 40s. I felt sorry for those dogs before, now I feel even worse for that one in the cage. I have no idea why they put him in a cage... unless he's actually female, and they want the puppy dog to impregnate the other dogs but not her. I can't think of any other reason they'd do that. Gah.
