I understand how this must be ripping into you and especially more now after everything you went through with Sadie. (((Morgan)))
Because of the (incredibly) colder temperatures in your region I can understand how this would be very wrong as a responsible owner. Here it is a bit different. We don't get it anywhere near as cold and so consequently, my (2) dogs live outside almost all of the time--well, in summer/spring anyway.
During autumn and winter, they sleep inside (in the laundry room) during the night, but spend days outside. (unless it is a really bad day) They have access to proper shelter 100% of the time. (including beds and bedding)
They are quite big dogs and my home is small, this is part of the reason, but mostly it's also because they have thick skins/pelts and just don't get very cold in our climate and so prefer to be outside where they can play and romp and chase balls (or my cats
) and can see who is coming and going in the street etc--this helps to keep them entertained when I am busy.They are walked once or twice a day, depending on my time and seem happy to be (mostly) outside dogs.
But absolutely yes... if I lived in your area, my dog/s would be indoor dogs at least during the winter/cold seasons.
(((Morgan))) I feel your pain. I've called animal control on a couple of my neighbors who left their dogs tied up outside and unable to get to their water bowl because their lead was wrapped around the tree. I asked animal control to speak to the owners (rather than pick up the dogs) and they did. Two of my dogs originally belonged to neighbors. The dogs got out and I brought them in. One of the neighbors asked for their dog back and I gave her back but the next time she got out in the traffic and I took her in, they knew better than to ask for her back.
Its really really hard to ignore neighbors who mistreat their dogs or don't give them enough attention
Dakota is lucky she has you to give her lovin Maybe you could tell your neighbor you've fallen in love with their dog and if they ever need to find a new home for her, you'll take her. They may not really want a dog and take you up on your offer 
Morgan, I can feel you concern and pain for Dakota. The suggestion was brought up that maybe the family would consider giving you the dog, if they no longer want to care for it. Going the route of animal control is often futile. But I would document what you can.
I, like Flake, live in a warm climate most of the year. However sumer often brings severe thunderstorms and high winds. All my dogs have had fenced yards to run and play, but have been mainly house dogs.
Do you think a larger dog house would help? Could you afford a "gift" if they family insists on keeping Dakota? Maybe some bedding. But in harsh winter, in your area, the dog belongs inside. Holding you to positives a s good resolution for all.
That breaks my heart for you Morgan. I know how you feel. I have just now gone back to Maggie avatar without crying.
I really hope that something can be done for this poor pup. I would upset me so as well. Have you spoken to them? Maybe you can offer walks or to dog-sit and get the pup in your place for a bit. It might lead to something else?
I feel for you, Morgan - hope something works out.

Morgan - I was just thinking about you and noticed you had posted here. Peace, honey.

Could you offer to take the dog for a walk as a neighbourly sort of gesture - just tell them you like to get exercise and that you miss your own dog?
You never know - Grumpy Lady may go for it!
Good luck and I am glad to hear you are feeling a bit better lately morgan
Angry and in a horrible mood right now. Just spoke with my friend and former roommate/bf. Nicest guy in the world.
He was able to finally retire and bought himself a house at the beach! yay.
He is there about two months when his daughter shows up again with her stuff. dammit! He is going to let her stay "for a bit" Yeah, right. I feel bad for him. Daughter is 25 (26?). And acts l16. Married, divorced. She is the reason I moved out - (when she moved in)
She is a liar and a thief and has absolutely zero respect for anyone or anything. She got a hold of my debit card and wiped my back account out. She has done the same with his. She has stolen from my room, gone through all of my stuff, taken my car keys, my car, watered down my wine, gotten drunk (2 DWI's in 2 months) cursed and shoved me and him all the time - and just about anything else you can think of. All while spending days lying on the couch when she was not photo shopping pictures of herself and her boobs for facebook. no Job, no education and does not want either.
It was so peaceful before she showed up.
His other daughter is just the opposite. Very sweet.
He is being taken advantage of again and this should be his time that he worked all his life for. A house! At the beach! I was so happy for him.
Rant is over. I just feel so bad and I am mad that he would take her in again.

There is not one thing you can do about it,sadly. Sorry to hear that lovey.
First, I am angry because I have a very bad attack of inner-ear infection the past two days and this had to happen when I have family down from the Fort. I am now angry at meself because I bit me friggen tongue this morning. I hate it when that happens!!!!!! Now I feel all the way round godawful.
Ouch! Hope you are better soon. (((Staro)))
Sometimes when around yer family you have to bite your tongue now and then, Staro!
Hope you feel better.
Hope you feel better.
First of all, I'm sorry for being so angry lately...
I think I'm angry right now because I'm feeling tormented/conflicted.
Most of you are probably way better people than I am and don't allow yourselves to hate. I truly hated a woman I worked for a few years ago (my last experience with Corporate America). She hired me into a losing situation and was dishonest with me from the start. I was working 80-90 hours/week for 6 months trying to dig out of the hole that was made before I was hired. I ended up in the hospital and this woman set up an interview for someone to replace me by the next day (she eventually hired two people to do my job - they both were eventually fired for fraud). She lied to everyone and the company and I should've done something about it, but I was in no position, physically or emotionally. So I just despised her for her lies and immorality.
I often thought about posting something nasty about her on Facebook (even though I don't even use it) or sending her a nasty email. The last time I spoke to her, after I got out of the hospital, I told her she was evil and to never contact me again. To complicate matters further, she was a best friend of a relative (by marriage).
This woman died on Thursday after some complication during emergency surgery. She was only 43. I now feel wretched about how I felt about her and all the bad things I wished upon her. I truly feel very bad for her family (she had two children) and feel sorry for the sadness my relative is feeling because she lost her friend. I guess it boils down to the fact that I feel like a very bad person.

Don't do that to yourself, morgan. I have only truly hated one person in my life and wish bad things to this day. (hey,I do)
I am sure that you were not the only one thinking bad thoughts and wishing Karma for her.
You are a good person that was forced to feel something out of your nature. Don't beat yourself up.

No way, you are a very good person and you should know this... (we are all hardest on ourselves, I know)
I am sorry her family and friends have lost her now. The stuff that came before though, has its price... and she should be remembered for her deeds, whatever they may be... death does not make a saint of someone who made bad choices, it just doesn't change the facts.
Stop beating yourself up for the feelings you have/or had about her... she made choices that had a huge impact on you, it's okay to feel what you feel.

(((morgan)))
You....a bad person ? No way.
Not liking someone is normal, you shouldn't feel at all guilty, my friend.
This is so very true.
((((Morgan))))
You are being unnecessarily hard on yourself...and if you truly were an awful person, you would not be feeling guilt over not liking this person. The fact that you are just proves how big your heart is. Stop beating yourself up! You were never cruel to her, you only stood up for yourself. Not a darn thing wrong with that, and certainly nothing to feel guilty over.
Many hugs and prayers to you.

morgan- Let it go, honey . If she was wretched, and made you miserable, your feelings were justified. But now, you can say a prayer for her soul and for the peace of her loved ones. Something made her miserable that way. We never know what battles someone is fighting inside themselves. It's especially hard when they take out their anger/misery on you. Forgive yourself, and her. Peace to you!
even thought we all know it, it's especially bothering me today....
