Neighbor Unleashes Drama Over Dog’s 20-Minute Outdoor Time ⏰
Our protagonist, recovering from an ER visit, finds themselves in a heated conflict with their neighbor. The neighbor’s kid lets the dog off his runner, forcing our dog-loving friend to chase their pup for blocks. The neighbor claims it’s because the dog had no food or water outside, but our protagonist explains their dog has a scheduled feeding plan and indoor water and snacks. ️ They only put their dog outside for 20 minutes at a time, never in bad weather, and mostly for bathroom breaks. Despite this, the neighbor threatens to call animal control next time. Our protagonist loves their dogs like their own children, but now they’re left questioning if they’re in the wrong. Let’s see what people have to say about this furry fiasco…
