It’s amazing how jealousy can affect a person. Recently I have made friends with my neighbor. She isn’t a friend I would have thought about making, not that I am racist or anything but typically Muslim and people like me don’t make friends. I don’t avoid anyone and seem to make friends with anyone.
Recently Dad’s dog moved in with us, as a companion dog for Dad. He needs her, my hubby and I both take her out and it causes conversation strikes up. I know most Muslim do not like dogs because they are unclean, well it’s the same with Jewish people to. As a pet a dog is just fine, but to eat no thanks it’s unclean. I was taking the dog out and ran into my neighbor with the dog, and the lady liked the dog so did her children. I love animals, so anyone that likes animals typically will make quick friends with me. We were talking out in the hallway about the dog, and the dog has one eye blinded by someone kicking her where dad used to live. We both voiced the same opinion of the Dog is a defenseless animal and should have never been harm. We are talking about a dog who typically weighs 5 to 8 pounds. So she tiny even her bite don’t hurt….
This weekend my husband, dad and I went to church together, dad wanted to go because I was reading the Torah, and was dancing. Dad wanted to support me in what I was doing. This week was my first time reading the Torah, I did good but bare read loud enough to be heard it will improve. I got nervous and nervousness and me don’t mix well.
I got a call from the caretaker while at church. I had to stop by the management office and pick up a package. When I was there I was told the dog was crying for a couple hours in the Morning. That don’t sound right because we live her sometimes for a couple of hours and she is quiet when we get back. So I was a little baffled I was told that if the dog kept crying we wouldn’t be allowed to keep the dog. I was a little annoyed by that because dad needs the dog for his mental health! I came home and told my husband and his dad about what the caretaker said and told him I would speak to our little neighbor next door.
This morning she was out in the hallway with her girls and I heard them so I stuck my head out the door and told her I had a question.
I asked her if the dog yesterday cried a lot. She said when she was home the dog was quiet. We talked fora few minutes and she told me something along the lines of maybe the person was jealous. At the end of our talk she told me if we have any trouble she will defend the dog and us. It’s funny, how people can be jealous and be a pain in the backside. We clean up all the dogs messes, and we try to be quiet. I almost wonder if the person who called to complain have seen hubby and I have walk her, and now when they see all of us leave they take this as a good opportunity to call management. It’s surprising how some people of religious groups have more compassion when their religion says you can’t do this…. I wish some of my neighbors would learn a lesson of what being neighborly is all about.
