Verbal abuse

Suppose you were living with somebody and he/she yapped at you all day? Wore you down mentally? Abused you verbally? You would want to get away wouldn't you?

Well dogs seem to be no different. Penny, the meek mild dog (my favourite) is constantly harrassed by the bitch Kalli and the other two (imagine the likkle puppy tek up wid dat foolishness too!).

Yesterday, I was out and my sister called me to say that Penny, who was locked up in her kennel, jumped over the (high) wall into the kennel next door. That kennel door next door was open, and so she walked out.....right into the waiting jaws of the other three.

Water works every time so that was used to separate the dog from the bitches.

Now today, she was out in the yard which is separated from the front by a gate on either side of the house. Whenever my nephew goes outside with the ball, the bitch Kalli starts to abuse Penny. I don't know. The ball just excites the bitch into yapping.

To get away from it all, Penny jumped over the gate that separates the front lawn from the back yard and was on her way out the street gate, which is normally left open.

It made me think that no matter whether you are a dog or a human, there is only so much and no more that you can take. At least dogs can't commit suicide.

For real there is are certain pains so universal that even a dog can experience them, albeit in a less complex manner.

tell penny fight back or they will never leave her alone

She's not like that. She doesn't like to fight back. She just wants to run away.

But I've switched her over into the kennel that has mesh all over the front, as opposed to the other one where half was meshed. Therefore the bitch Kalli, could stick her snout in and yap at her.

Penny has taken to jumping over all fences. She did it today...jumped over the picket fence.
