how much can one malamute miss his best buddy in the world? and how mean can one neighbor be? well, i now
know. the following is a transcript from an anonymous neighbor who
left a note on our door today:
“You have such a beautiful dog & it’s a pity to
hear him cry + scream all day. If you don’t love your dog you
should not have him. someone might report you to animal abuse. It
hurts to hear that dog cry so often.”
needless to say, mauja doesn’t seem to be
dealing so well with
the loss of harper.
i can understand a neighbor being irritated by a distraught malamute when they don’t understand the extenuating circumstances, but it seems like if you’re going to write a note like that you should at least leave your name.
mauja has been so sad lately. and if you know malamutes you know there’s nothing more pathetic than a morose malamute. they don’t bark. they howl like a very lonesome wolf. loudly. and very, very sadly.
