January Is Unchain a Dog Month!

I have a dog on a chain as some people called it above. I wish I could have her inside but I tried for 3 months to house train her and simply cannot nor can I have her peeing on everything. I have to keep her tied up or she gets out of the fence I put up and goes and bothers the neighbors. One in particular as even threatened to take her to animal control. I never imagined when I got her that some older dogs are just untrainable.

ps Maya I thank you. I read your posts and realize your are one of the great leaders. I am learning from you and all the others who post here with wisdom and there are many. I am grateful for the this neighborhood of wonderful people even for those I dont agree with I learn from them too. I have learned from "get real holly" that it is important for me to be more gracious to the people I agree with and a need to post positive responses to them. I am 57. I border on the end of my life much to early. My illness is not caused by diet so those who would like to say that it was my vegan diet that caused this they would be wrong. I feel that part of my strength comes from this diet both dietary and mentally. For me one of the great adventures has been reading the posts here and learning. I feel sad to leave this earth and my children much to early but feel good that when I do go I leave knowing that I have not eatten our animal friends. I dont drink their milk nor wear their skins. However I do realize that sadly some of the very things that keep me alive today are things that are here for me as a result of the great suffering of our animal friends. For that I feel great sadness and regret. I know if I am here one year from now it is a result of there great suffering. This subject is up for debate. Do we use or not use the results of their suffering? I realize that the testing has already been done for some of these things and more testing is being done every day. Even simple things like aspirin and plastic have caused great suffering. Its a dificult debate what should we do about the advances that have come from the testing use the technology or not. I fight in my own way to protect animals that are used in labs and want it to stop I think there are other ways it can be done. For now I will continue to read the posts here and learn and be more gracious to the people I learn from and admire and from those I dont agree with. Life is a journey of learning so I thank you truly. I also admit at this moment it is questionable as to weather I should press the post button I am saying far more about my self than I wanted to but maybe some how this post of mine will bring some new debate and again bring progress in learning. here goes...
