When I was 18 I got my first dog. His name is Xander, and he is spoiled. I'm constantly buying him treats and bones. I give him a little of my dinner every night. He follows me around, and sleeps on the floor next to my bed.
I work full time, therefore my dog is home alone from 7am until 5pm. I don't lock him in a cage or anything. I leave the toilet seat up so he has a never ending supply of water (what? That's not gross) and a full bowl of food.
I take him out every morning before work and twice after work. Mind you, I can't stay out for long because I have the wee baby, and it's not like I can leave him in my apartment for 15 minutes while I walk the dog.
Anyway.
A few weeks ago I was on my balcony with the dog, and the old lady that lives in my building hollers up to me, "Your dog is so beautiful! He looks so sad sitting in the window all day while you're gone...". I just smiled and said, "I know... poor thing!".
But really I'm thinking, "Shut up, lady", but being non-confrontational, I blow it off.
Then we come to today. At 7am I get Xanders leash on him and go outside. I notice a note taped to my door. I just assumed it was from the apartment complex, and opened it expecting to read something about a community activity or something.
But no.
It said:
You have such a beautiful dog, and it's a shame that he is home alone all day. You let him out for what, 5 minutes?!?!?! It's a pity that such a wonderful dog is forced to suffer like he does. I see him in the window, all day, looking sad and waiting for you to come home. If only you loved your dog as much as he loves you!! You should be ashamed of yourself!!!
What the FUCK!?
So I marched my happy ass down to her apartment and jabbed it onto a wreath holder she has stuck to her door.
Seriously, what would you do, uber? Should I go ahead and quit my job?

The dog is fine. He might be happier if you had a yard, but the dog is fine. It's not like he isn't used to being at home... you've had him for ten years, ffs.
Ignore the old woman. She's one of those people that judge no matter what you do. If you quit your job to stay home with the dog, you'd be a welfare whore and she'd petition to have your kid put into foster care. Don't worry about it. She's a saddo.
As an aside to Bubba the loudmouthed clueless fuckhead; my dog was 14. He had arthritis in both hips, cataracts, his immune system kept attacking his body, he threw up a dozen times a day, stopped eating, fell down when we tried to take him for a little walk... after pumping him full of medicines that didn't work for a few years, I finally had him euthanised on Wednesday. Your whole "It's wrong, wrong, wrongitty wrong" stance is ridiculous. I hope that when I'm in that state, someone has the decency to overdose me on anesthetic.
++++++++++++++
OK. Let me know if you're in that state before I die. I'll find you and blow your tiny little brain out. I figure a BB gun will do the job...
Would you feel the same if it were a son or daughter? No? Bullshit. If you can't treat your animals as well as you treat your kids, you deserve neither.
Circe, you are a real bitch. Fuck you.

So, wait... does that mean your dog should have its own bedroom, complete with furniture and wardrobe and thousands of dollars in toys, and you cook its meals, or does it mean your kids should sleep on a rug in the corner of the laundry room and eat from a bowl on the floor and crap in the yard?

Bubba - My kids can speak. If they were sick and dying and beyond help and asked me to let them go, I would.
My dog, unfortunately, couldn't speak. He was, however, starving to death slowly because he couldn't eat, and he was never going to get better. I made the choice for him, and I don't feel guilty.
You must be very happy in your black-and-white world.

Get the lady to dog sit for you or tell her to fuck off. Be wary she doesn't move away with it though.
Really get the dog a water bowl, no animal should have to drink out a toilet. I have the opposite problem right now. The cat wont drink tap water. It has to be evian. It's pathetic and my other half refuses to stop giving it to him.

My guys are over 12 now. They are really slowing down. We've gone from running 10k's and taking them hiking to walking around the block and back. We're going backpacking next weekend. There is no way we can take them. (cries)
Right now, right now there is a pot of rice cooling on the cabinet. We make them rice every single night because they are horribly spoiled and they like rice. We bought some cans of salmon to mix in with the rice because Alex is looking thin. The salmon smells horrible, but apparently only to Sam and myself. Everyone else in the house thinks it smells great.
I hate that they couldn't have stayed 3 years old forever.

i agree with the old lady. women are selfish creatures and they are almost always selfish with pets. you bought a dog for what? because you think they are cute and you thought it would be fun? you got a dog for your own amusement without considering what kind of life it would have to live. disgusting.
you can give it to someone who can properly care for a dog, but the dog my be freaked out by a complete change of surroundings with new people and it may be scared and unhappy.
you can always have it put to sleep. death is almost certainly better than a life of loneliness with toilet water as your only drinking source.

Get a cat so your dog has a friend to play with while you're away. Sounds like any typical dog owner. What else could you do? You have a job. You care for your dog. You take him out. I assume you spend more time with him outside and such on the weekends. Aside from going home during your lunch break to play with him/walk him, or hiring a dog sitter, you aren't doing anything wrong. I've owned many, many dogs and cats in my life time. At one point when I was a little fella we had 11 cats and 2 dogs. Now my mom has 3 dogs and a cat at her house while my dad has 2 dogs and a cat as his house. I know what I'm talking about and all of the animals are perfectly happy and never sulking or sad. My suggestion would be to get a cat or another dog if you think you could handle having 2.
Also, get a bigger water bowl so your dog doesn't have to drink toilet water.
That is all.

Sounds like you're doing the best you can given your situation. He might not get an ideal amount of exercise, but like you said, he's older, and he seems happy, so he's probably just fine.
Tell her if she has all day to stare at your window, then SHE should take a walk.
---------------------
Hahahaha...agreed.
The wife and I have two dogs, until she switched jobs recently they were home alone between 7am and 4pm almost every weekday, and they did just fine with that, being older dogs (I don't recommend this with puppies - they need the frequent potty breaks if you want them housebroken).
Now, Mrs. Thorns has a job closer to home, she gets to go home for lunch every day, and it's all the better for the little meep-meeps. They certainly didn't love us any less when we were in the same bind as you, though.
Perhaps a sitter to let your dog out over lunch isn't such a bad idea.

Why don't you see if this lady will be agreeable to 'dog sit' a couple days of the week.
If she is home all day, and lonely, perhaps the mutual company will do them both some good.
Or just egg that old bitch's house.
Either way. Good luck.

The dog deserves as much of your time as your kid does and while you're intentions are noble- and there are certainly 8 billion people who don't even treat their pets as well as YOU do - it sounds to me like you're not being a "great" doggie owner.
This might not be the best time in your life to have one. Find him a good home and feel good about that.

What I meant was "OH COME ON! Your dog seems happy, although in an idyllic world of COURSE you'd have more time for it.
If your neighbor is so worried, as her if she'd watch the dog while you're at work supporting your child...
Likely she's hating being home alone and is expressing her depression by berating you about your dog.

Yeah, I'm def not the ideal dog owner, but I've had him for 10 years, he's old and not very active, anyway.
The main problem now is that it's winter, and I can't take the baby out for walks with Xander right now. As soon as it warms up I'll be able to take them both out.
I wish I did have more time to spend with the dog, or a bigger family to pay him more attention, but I don't.
I don't think it's horrible that the dog stays inside while I work. I think it's horrible when people leave their dogs in cages while they work.
So I guess I'm judgemental myself. Just on another level.

Start storing your dogs shit and leave a flaming bag of it on her porch every morning when you leave for work.

The dog sounds perfectly happy to me. Why not pop round in a neighbourly fashion and thank her for suggesting what a horrible person you are. Point out that your dog gets plenty of attention and affection and kindly ask her to piss off and keep her beak shaped nose out of your private life. Tell her to call the ASPCA, as you call it over there, and see what they say. Tell her that when the people on the other end of the phone have stopped laughing at her for being a stupid bitch that she may want to come over for a glass of wine and see how terribly unhappy the pooch is.
Failing that just start a war of Notes. It can be like a 'Dude upstairs' series but with a dog evangelist woman instead.

Sounds like your dog is happy and healthy.
Some people just aren't happy unless they're sticking their nose in your business.
It isn't like you're starving, beating, and treating your dog inhumanely.
I had someone go off on me when I mentioned my cat was declawed.
I therefore enjoyed telling them my cat had been abandoned and was alreay declawed (true) when I took her in.
All they did was sit there and blink.
I did (politely) suggest that the next time they decide to climb up on their high horse, they'd better have their ducks in a row.

No, it would be ironic if I didn't know my posts were shit. You, however, expect someone here to care about your plight. I happen to agree with the old lady but if blogging is what you want to do, be your guest.
If you can't properly care for a dog you shouldn't own one.

Keep your job. What you should do it kill your dog and hang it outside your apartment, then take that note your neighbor wrote and give it to the police so they blame her. After she gets thrown in jail for cruelty to animals, you can get a new dog guilt free.
