You definitely took initiative after gathering more information about the neglected pet dogs. You seem like an animal lover times ten to feed someone else's dogs. I wonder if the owners thought food they left out would last longer than it did. I hate leaving animals alone for even a single night. Nice post.

    It?s difficult and awkward. I?ll try to speak with them when they return, and keep it positive. I hope they will change their attitude but I?m not too confident. Thanks so much for reviewing.

    Thank you so much for your lovely review. Perhaps they thought they left enough for a week. I don't understand their thinking at all. I appreciate your review.

Bless you for taking care of these dogs. I wonder why the owners would do such a thing. Did they have a medical emergency and forget their own dogs? I'm glad you remained safe while doing your act of neighborly love. I hope they will be kind to you in return and not bark now.

    They have been much calmer this afternoon, and even stopped growling when I said "No!" firmly, followed by lots of praise when they stopped. Maybe my next project will be some loving but firm discipline from my box! I will visit their neighbour on the other isde as soon as I can, and check if he has been feeding them. I may be cynical, but I think they have just gone away for a holiday. Thanks so much for reviewing and for the pump, greatly appreciated.

Tragic this happened to those poor pups! I like the readings overall message. You're grateful you trusted your gut for the sake of the dogs.
I had to reread a couple of sentences within your story a few times to understand what you are saying. I can tell you're trying to be concise in your writing, but in doing so your words are a little vague. The flow of the story is choppy because some sentences arent connecting properly due to missing information. I think you need to be a little more specific.

    Can you please be specific so I know where to fix it? This is actually the third in a series, so I don't want to double up on information most reviewers already know. Where for example is the lack of connection, and which sentences needed to be read. I would appreciate your help.
    Thank you.

I was excited to see an update to the - Ada and Bear - episode. You are a kind person to be looking out for these two neglected animals. Good on your for helping to feed, water and give them kindness. Be sure not to get the hand that feeds bitten.
These two dogs will start to look forward to seeing and hearing you. I am proud of you and thank you for sharing this positive act to a negative situation.

    Thank you so much for your very kind review - and six stars, like the icing on the cake! I am very grateful, (especially as the previous reviewer gave me three stars for my "choppy" writing, lol.) The dogs are fairly calm at present, and responding to my voice. I was planting near the fence, and there were a few growls, but when I firmly said "No!", believe it or not they stopped! Lots of praise followed. Perhaps my next project will be some loving discipline!!
    Thank you again for your kind suport.
