Stories About Dogs
I will be adding to this post so check back.
Aggot
When we first moved to this home we were greeted the first day by our neighbor's dog barking
at our
front door. Our neighbor apologized and told us the neighbors before us treated
the dog with biscuits. We asked
if we could give the dog treats and they were ok with it. We really
didn't have any problem with the dog visiting and we gave him a treat, we did
this for many years. We cared about Aggot (his name) and we were very careful when we pulled out of our driveway because he would always be there when we would leave or come home. We were afraid of hitting him with our car. He did this with all visiting his home as well. Sometimes he would be very close to the edge of the road and I would try calling to him because I was afraid he would get run over. We didn't want anything to happen to Aggot.
There were only two times I remember him pooping in our yard. I understood that's what happens
sometimes when a dog is around.
Though if it would of been a regular occurrence, we probably would have become unhappy about it.
The neighbor came to clean it up, but did a very unusual thing. While I was speaking to him
he acted as though I spoke rudely to him. He even made movements and looked shocked as though I was
being unkind to him. My back was turned to the hospital which stands in front of our home and I was wondering who was he putting a show on for and wondered if we were being watched from the hospital.
It was kind of what they do at the football games. ( a fake play.)
After our neighbors moved away we heard from our neighbor's dad that
Aggot was run over and died after moving into the new place.
We felt sad for our neighbors and also for Aggot.

A Ruined Garden
A few years ago I
wanted to plant a vegetable garden but had nowhere to plant one. I asked my Son in-law if I could plant at his
grandfather's property. I planted a few
things and they grew and produced vegetables.
I grew some squash, tomatoes and
peppers. I had helped other people in my
childhood in their gardens but never tried growing vegetables myself.
Something happened
though that was a disappointment to me.
The neighbor's dogs didn't use the bathroom in their own yard. I would go to check on the few vegetables I had planted and I would find the dogs had pooped right by the vegetables I had planted. The man who lived next door owned a mowing
service, maybe even did landscaping.
I was happy I was able to grow vegetables and I gathered the vegetables but we didn't eat any of them. Knowing the garden was pooped and peed on was not appetizing at all.

Maggie
I don't know if you remember me talking about
Maggie, Maggie was one of our neighbor's three dogs. Maggie was a Rottweiler. One day while I was about to work in one of
our flower beds, which is located out by the road. I said hello to our neighbor and Maggie was
standing beside of him. Something very unusual
happened. Every time I stretched my hand to touch one of my flowers
in the flower bed, Maggie would growl. Every
time I withdrew my hand, Maggie would stop growling. I tested it by repeating the same
movement. Maggie would growl each time
and would cease to growl when I withdrew my hand. Maggie was telling me not to touch the
flower. I thought to myself, "Why
would Maggie tell me not to touch the flowers in my own flower garden?" She must have known something I didn't.
So I started to observe the flower I was about to touch. I noticed at the very top of it was an earwig. I wondered if Maggie knew there was an earwig
on the flower and how she would know one was there. Maybe Maggie saw something that made her know
it? or maybe it wasn't the earwig at all.
Maybe she thought for some reason those were her
gardens.
