Dot and Brownie

The chain if the only option I didn’t want it…..therefore the narrative is up to me and not those who prefer I don’t keep the dogs. I can’t understand the neighbor’s response to my opportunity to bring nice kind dogs into our community. Yet, I must accept emotional response and their warning and fear of the dogs. I believe because the folks have lived in this neigh hood most of my life, I knew they never owned a pet therefore I can’t change their narrative. Once, I’ve come to realize my neighbor option to black mail or may I say I don’t know if this alarm video will ever be used again me. The law and time could allow here to use and share the evident later; my solution at this moment is to place the dog on another property where I can move for a few weeks as I sort out what I should do. I have not much experience living along with dogs so my ex-husband and friend has been helping me up to this point.

First, the dogs were given to me from one of my ex-husband friends and I thought it will be some company or me as well as protection since I live alone. My two month thus-far has been nothing less than an emotional journey as I see the heart of these Christian folks toward God’s creature for they are fearing without cause. My opinion! But as time has moved forward I come to believe trauma is playing a role in the fear. The shots and license I understand the reasoning, but why not talk to me not in such a hostile tone. The opportunity to show all this crazy emotional stuff is an overkill and overwhelming to me. My decision on my property has done a lot to affect some black women toleration level for dogs.

The experience comes with time as I learn and is taught how to fence the dogs in the backyard. The dogs are smarter than I had anticipated and the fence installers made error in leaving space for the naughty attitude of the Christian to produce conflict. I transition into a pet owner if communication was more bearable she would be helpful to me instead of letting her fear rule. Be Love! Be Encouragement!

The second time, I was confronted as my neighbor drove up in my yard from next door I knew the dog had done it again. The security camera caught them on her back porch. Brownie and Dot, I hate the idea of chains around their necks; but what choice do I have. My emotions had to be detained as I tried to think of what to do…. they were again like therapy I needed as I have two sons and both have been incarcerated as many even millions here and around the world.

A few weeks later I sitting here writing you in my she shed, or writing studio I flowing with the ability to express to you what has been happening as I speak to you today about Brownie and Dot the dogs have touch my heart. My empty duplex which I was upgrading to house some people in the future I will let the dogs move in doors. For it has been a slow process because of finance issues for material and labor to move any faster. Let me say the dog are still good and I must train them with the help of my ex-husband how to let them live in the house.

I wake up and go over to the unit before 6:00am to feed and let Brownie and Dot run around a play giving me time to mop and clean their room. Its been getting cold since October has come now. I was on the telephone with Wil and I was not paying attention not thinking about the dog wanting to go out to BM. So guess what …..Brownie when into the small bedroom where I plan to sleep and she climbed on top of the bed and drop it. Well must I tell you how bad it smelled but I had no one to blame but myself. I was alone with the help of my ex-husband who I would tell what happened and I did with his mother a few days later as I ate breakfast at her home. I shared with my ex-mother in law what was happening with the dogs and how I keep knowing God want me to keep these dogs. I was driving a few days earlier and notice a mobile van with picture of animal on the paint job and a number for a veterinary. I called and I am expecting the service to come to my home as well as I found out how to get some free voucher to have spay worth $75.00 each.

Well I can’t regret keeping the dogs up until this point evening knowing I could not keep them chain or caged. The dramatic trauma is attached to the civil right movement for my neighbors all over 66 years old…. the trauma of my children incarceration all plays a role into out emotional intelligent ……. maturity or lack of maturity. Once I was approached just a few days ago from another authority within our town another black female claiming the same fear…. however, I got the expression when she said she called the animal control as well because I don’t have them caged. Again, it got to me that she said I told them it’s the same dog but, on another property, oh they are sharing or gossiped about me……Oh I have been humble and a peace maker during each episode I’m confronted to react.
