Yeah so my yard is now like the epicenter for my entire neighborhood. My township recently put in the sidewalk. I have a super active healthy community that loves walking at all times of the day and they never freaking stop. This is how my dog got injured in the first place. Because he loves to run and bark at them. It’s been raining for what seems like four months and things are slippery. Last week he slipped. He now has a luxated patella and we meet with the surgeon on Tuesday. He’s a 100 pound golden retriever. Yes he is overweight. Yes I am working on that. I just need people to not walk by my house for the next three months. I have turned into a raging lunatic screaming at everyone just walking by. Don’t even get me started with the squirrels. Or the rabbits. I feel like I’m in Caddyshack.
