HI Kay,
They are under-fed Rottweilers.
Shivering.
My German Shepard dog can tolerate 15F no problem. When she gets to -10F her paws freeze within <15 min. Walks at that temp need boots for her. Which we use. Perhaps if she was in Alaska she would be good at lower temperature. Meaning dogs do acclimate some.
I've had -10F here last winter thus how I know that about my dog. At those Temps my neighbors rotties did poorly.
Perhaps since I've also seen the male rottie dog drugged in the past coupled with the fact these people want to make money on puppies, swayed my mind to call. Unfortunately I have Perhaps developed a bad image of these people. My other neighbors have called 2 times for both extreme heat and cold on these owners.
I did not do this easily. I fear retaliation from them, and worry about trouble. I waited till I couldn't bear it any more. I even called others to get "calibrated" before calling on them.
In the end, I think my call went unheard. It was left on the after hours animal wellfare office. It was Christmas after all.
I think my loud yelling caused someone to come out of a drug stupor and remember they left dogs outside.
These people are heavy drinkers and use drugs as well.
They are not model citizens.
As you can tell I take a very dim view on such things.
I sometimes wonder if perhaps i am the last person left with some integrity in this part of town... too much of this sort of thing here.
What am I up to?
Browsing furry art sites.
I still love furry. There are things that drew me in. They still do.
Art that makes me think of fantastical settings, powerful creatures. Beautiful girls that make me take notice. Ideas of transforming, like a werewolf.
No matter how crappy furry is at times, there are things that draw me back. Even a well drawn cute male character, caught my eye. And I'm not even gay or bi.
