A proposal in the Massachusetts legislature would require landlords to check the property to make sure animals aren't abandoned after a tenant leaves.

Inspired by a dog left behind and not found for months, this new law hopes to prevent a recurrence.

What do you think?

Someone said that to my wife during a showing "don't worry about no fence, we will just stake the dogs out to that tree".

She told them straight, there and then to their face, "you won't be our tenant. We do not want dogs staked out in Florida heat. This showing has finished". And then showed them to the door.

After she locked up, they tried to back track, asked for an application and she looked then between the eyes and in her best southern trash she said "this ain't happening" and walked off.
