Going Up...

Or going down.....this small stairs caught my eye. I had parked at the grocery, decided to walk through the alley. This is right on the alley , as you can see. They lead to a backdoor of  Baker's Decorating. No it's not cake decorating , with a name like Baker it would seem appropriate. Mr. Baker is a home decorator. My daughter and I walked through some neighborhood recently. It was such an odd feeling, as if we were in a different town. There was a house for sell in the neighborhood and I wanted to see how many dogs were chained up or in a fenced in yard.....being ignored, so they bark all the time. I know dogs gotta bark, but I also know it should not be 24/7.  I had a neighbor who allowed her dog to bark all the time. That will be another post sometime. So walk your dogs, play with them and absolutely feed them.....they are your "other" child. :):)

  1. Two houses down and a good distance away, Thank God, two young men live with a kennel full of dogs. They bark a lot. I am glad we are not next door.

  5. Those steps look like an accident just waiting to happen.
    I agree about the dogs, our neighbor just built a pen for her dog, that is right up against the corner of our backyard. Our fence is 6 feet high and pretty much solid accept for the slats. He barks, but when my dog, Butchy, hears him , he wants out. I let him out and he goes right to the fence, sticks his nose in a slat and seems to comfort, her dog. The barking stops. I do feel sorry for him. Big dogs need room to run (let me take that back, all dogs need room to run) at least a backyard, not a six foot pen. Well, dogs are not the reason I'm here, I am here because I love junking,too. I am looking forward to traveling along on your junking adventures. I am your newest follower, Connie :)
    Please accept my warm invitation to visit and hopefully to follow me, too. I'm heading to town in a few minutes to grocery shop, but I'm traveling a route that will take me past a local thrift shop. I think it is always a good idea to add a little happy shopping in the mix.

  6. Those steps look like they are for elves!
    Seems all of us have at least one neighbor who fails to give their dog the love/exercise they need!

  7. Those steps crack me up!

    Dogs should not be left outside all day. And ignored. Why have one, if that's what you're going to do? They just need attention and exercise - something every responsible dog owner should do.

  10. What funny steps. We had a neighbor that abused their dog so badly that we reported it. It was awful..and we had talked to them about it 3 or 4 times before reporting it. xo Diana

  11. Those tiny steps are just so funny. What's the point really? You would need very tiny feet! ... And I hear you on the subject of barking dogs. We have a few in our neighborhood. And when the people are home, I always wonder why the barking doesn't bother them too. And then there's the issue of the little gifts they leave in your yard - yuck!
