Pet scare

I have to admit, I was a little scared earlier thanks to Dyson. I was leaving my bedroom, and looked into Mom's room to see him laying on her bed. Like usual, I said "What are you doing there, Dyson?", at which point he usually puts his head up and looks over at me. This time though, he never did that. He just lay completely still, staring blankly over toward the window. After looking at him for about 10 seconds, I felt really scared because he wasn't blinking or remotely moving. I ran into the room and sat on the bed to pet him, sadly saying "Dyson?". He decided to move at this point.

He not a young dog. He's 10 years old, which is why it scared me. I'm glad he's ok though.

Our neighbor's are annoyed at us again. A few months back, Jill, the daughter of our neighbor was extremely pissed at us because of my younger brother, Bryn, breaking up a large snowball she had rolled up on her front lawn. My sister and him left for the store not too long after, and she knocked on the door, asking for Mom. I told her that I was the only one home, so I proceeded to get the anger screamed at me. It's just a snowball! I admit that it was wrong for someone to damage something like that on someone else's property, but is a snowball really something to totally lose you anger over?

This time, I was spoken to by her father because of a window on his front door. My brother and I had just returned from the store, and he came out of the house to say "I'm glad I caught you two." My brother proceeded into the house, and yet again, I was the one who got the talk. He was asking which one of us had broken the glass on his door. It's more of a crack on the window though. I told him that it wasn't me (because it wasn't), and that I was wondering why it was cracked myself when I saw it one morning as I posted a paper through his door.

How was the window cracked? Supposedly, it happened when one of us was mowing the lawn. I never mow the lawn, so it definitely wasn't me, so I told him it was probably my brother who was mowing the lawn. But really, why make it sound like it was something that was done on purpose? If it happened while the lawn was being mowed, then it was a complete accident since it would have been caused by a blade of the mower hitting a stone and launching it into the window. There was just as much of a change of it being launched into the window of our door, or our kitchen window. It's a complete accident!

I swear people just love to take things out on their neighbor's if they hate them. Sure, as kids we used to do idiotic things that would annoy our neighbors (although, not those neighbors), but we were kids. It's something all kids do, am I right? I'm not idiotic enough to purposely destroy peoples' properties, and neither is my brother.

Bryn is a kid, since he's only about 9, so the snowball destroying was just a kid being a kid. You can't honestly keep an eye on everything a kid does unless you lock them up somewhere. I'm sure if Mom, or my sister, would have told Bryn NOT to touch the snowball if they were outside with him, but they weren't. Just chill out.
