ok i'm mad

Two posts in one day isn't common but I'm seriously so pissed and I just don't have anyone to complain to at the moment. We had a wind storm the other day, well really almost a month and a half ago. The lovely product of this windstorm for us was a trashed fence which resulted in a dog that can no longer wander around the yard like she is used to. Saturday we had a lovely snow storm and so I put our dog in her kennel after she had spent the whole night indoors in our mudroom (she isn't a house dog therefore she isn't allowed to be indoors with us cause I hate picking up dog pee and poo in my home) but we do allow her to sleep in the mudroom. On Saturday she was barking because she hates being confined in her kennel even though it is equipped to keep her out of the elements with a dog house and some snow cover. So we put her on her cable that she is better used to and somehow she broke it, and was missing for most of the day because she likes to run all around town when given the opportunity. So now instead of having two options for her to be outdoors I only had one, the kennel. This morning I took my dog out to her kennel at 9 and of course she wasn't happy about it, neither am I because I have to listen to her incessant barking, and by 9:30 there was a note on my door from animal control telling me that I had a complaint about the barking and that I was neglecting my stupid dog! She had been out for a HALF HOUR. Before seeing this stupid note I took a shower, went out and un-raveled one of her really old mangy cords and put her on it because I couldn't handle her barking, I also gave her a 5 gallon bucket of clean water and she was perfectly happy. I really freaking try to be a good neighbor, and freaking dog owner, but I also have a life and I cannot cater to my dogs every bark and I also cannot fix a broken fence when the ground is frozen. I absolutely hate my dog, but I don't feel like it would be the nicest thing for me to put her down for that reason. So I do all I can to take care of her, find her when she escapes and clean up all of her messes, ALL BY MYSELF. My husband is gone all of the time he doesn't show any responsibility with her and so I'm left to juggle it all and talk to (the rudest) animal control officers.
