Laws Regarding Dog Neglect

We have a new neighbor <_<

She has a cute little husky puppy. She leaves it outside all day long in a fenced yard while she is at work and trust me its cold up here in Michigan. He whines all day, it breaks my heart. They do have an overhang where he is at on pavement no blanket or anything for him with a very short chain. I peeked around the fence and noticed she had no food or water outside either :angry: Im not sure of abuse laws and how to go about it. Are they anonymous? We always had inside dogs and my samoyed would get cold outside while peeing so this is breaking my heart.

That is definetly neglect. Just call your local animal shelter and tell them. It will be anonymous. If you can't find a local animal shelter, call your police department (not 911, though unless the puppy is in really bad shape) and they can tell you who to call. That is so sad when someone gets an animal that they can't or won't take care of.

Thanks, She is off for the weekend now so I will report it next monday to the humane society. She is a barely new neighbor (two weeks) and already having problems with her. She is also pitching dog crap in our yard which irks my husband badly because she doesnt want it in her yard and we dont have any animals. I think its why she leaves him on a leash so its in a certain area. She seemed nice when we met her but now I realize she is just trash :angry:

I'm sorry you aren't in NY! lol We have the BEST laws on animals!!! Call the ASPCA, sometimes it takes a few calls but yes, something should be done. Animals are people too!

Also, my bf's neighbor did the same thing to their dogs and after the neighbor would go to sleep we would throw cold cut meats at it and i swear we kept that dog alive! not that i'm dropping hints or anything! ;)

oh and yes, totally anonymous!

Please keep us posted!

I would try to get a picture of her doing it and then throw it back. You definately need to do something if you can.

Isn't that against some kind of law, too? I'd start documenting all this stuff now - sounds like you might need it in the future. Might not be a bad idea to mention this to the police. Maybe they can stop by your neighbour's for a chat sometime about all this :)

Thanks Everyone

Well things have changed thankfully. She called over here Monday night and said her 19 year old nephew pitched her dog's poop over her fence (very likely it could have been since we just saw the after effects) and she apologized and offered to clean it up but my husband took care of it, actually pitched on her side that day he noticed it.

We also found out on Monday her nephew had been leaving her dog out as her other neighbor had complained about the dog barking all day while she was at work. I had no clue anyone was there during the day with no car in the driveway and the dog tied up all day. Her nephew had stayed with her for a few weeks but he is leaving on friday.

I have a Husky/blue heeler cross, she is now about 14 years old.... granted its not the same age as the puppy next door but.... I wouldn't automatically feel bad they were outside in the cold, I have to force mine inside when its really cold out, she gets to warm in the house as her coat is really thinck and warm. the no food water issue would be a concern as for the whining depending on how old the puppy is it "could" be lonesome... My youngest dog (I have 3 total) is 11 months and is an american eskimo and for the first few months we had her she would whine anytime she was left alone because she was lonely... if we left her outside with the other dogs she was fine... she loves to come into the house but again as her coat gets so thick this time of year she also loves to be outside, just comes in to pick on the cats and get a toy to take outside and loose in the snow..... I do however have a place out of the worst of the cold and wind for them to be when I am not home and cant get them to stay in the house... Now summertime is a whole different story as we have A/C and they all dearly love to be inside in summer... my guess is wearing a fur coat in 100 degree weather isnt for mild mannered puppies, lol

Animal neglect is:

Statute Summary: A person commits the crime of cruelty to animals if the person:

Fails to provide food, care, shelter

Abandons animal

Transports or confines animal in cruel manner

Injures an animal

Seriously overworks an animal

Intentionally or knowingly tortures an animal

Overworks an animal

A puppy left alone outside could be lonely, hungry, insecure ...cold...hot..whatever

Dogs especially if they do not have a companion, will develop issues - barking, digging, escaping, licking themselves raw, tail chasing, separation anxiety...to name few.

Many dogs once aclimated to weather spend all day outside...we have many cattle dogs and sheep dogs in our neck of the woods who get anxious when INSIDE and want out, even at 30 below...BUT they have shelter from the elements, have built a fur coat adapted to the time of year, food and water. Sheepdogs will sleep with the flock in a sheltered area. Many cattle dogs snuggle into a warm barn and straw bales around them. The key is shelter/food /water. My own dog LOVES the snow and begs to go outside - but she also emerges from her insulated doghouse toasty warm, the kids even comment on how warm she is...and she sleeps inside at night ,and if it is cold and windy, we keep her inside other than walks....

Puppies need companionship - be it human or animal. Think of how kids are vs adults....they crave playtime and interaction...adults not so much.

Glad the self centered nephew is outs there!!

Sandy

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
