Call SPCA next time puppy abused By Ann Landers Dear Ann Landers: Our next-door neighbor bought a darling litlle puppy for Iheir children. Sounds sweet? Well, the children are 4 and 5 years of age and they treat the puppy as if it were a stuffed animal.

In fact, I am not at all sure they know the difference. A few days ago I saw the youngest child squeeze the puppy so hard I thought he had killed it. I rushed over and took Ihe pathelic crealure oul of Ihe youngster's hands. Then I wenl immediately lo the child's mother and told her what had happened. Her response infuriated me.

"Oh, Donnie didn'l mean to hurl Ihe puppy." she yawned. "He jusl loves that liltle doggie lo death." I lold her she didn't realize how close her language had come lo Ihe Irulh. Yeslerday, the 5-year-old had Ihe pel in Ihe back yard. He was dressing Ihe puppy in doll's clothes. The skirt was so tight that the puppy was crying in agony.

The child had put a hat on the puppy's head and the elastic chin-strap was choking him. Again I went to the mother and complained. This time she got mad and told me she was sick of my interference and to mind my own business. I want to help that little animal but I don't know what to do next. My husband says he doesn't wanl me getling inlo fighls wilh Ihe neighbors lhal I have made 2 altempts and now I should keep quiet.

What do YOU say? Hate To See II Dear See: Tell lhat dumbell next door lhat if you wilness another acl of cruelly againsl that helpless puppy, you are going to call the SPCA. Then do it. Dear Ann Landers: Do I have a right to an explanation? If you say no, I promise to keep my mouth shut. If you say yes, I'll show it to my daughter-in-law and tell her to start talking because Ann is on my side. Lasl nighl, my son, his wife and I were playing 3-handed bridge.

About midnight, a car pulled into the driveway and just stood there. I recognized it at once as my ex-husband's. My son went out to Ihe car and stayed 10 minules. He came back and said, "Dad has had a little loo much lo drink. He doesn't want to come in.

He just wants lo sit oul there and listen lo the radio." With lhal my daughter-in-law excused herself and went out lo Ihe car. She was gone nearly an hour. This, of course, ruined our card game. But worse than that I drove myself nuls Irying to figure out what Ihose 2 were talking about. When my daughler-in- law came back in Ihe house she didn'l say one word lo explain her lenglhy absence.

She and my son left shorlly afler and I've been boiling ever since. I feel my daughler-in-law owes il lo me lo lell me what Ihey talked about When I asked my son if she had lold him, he replied, "No, I figured it was none of my business." What do you think about it, Ann? Blacked Out Dear Out: Since your daughler-in-law did nol volunleer any information, accepl Ihe facl lhal she is keeping a confidence. Re- specl her inlegrily and stop probing. Dear Ann Landers: I haven'I Ihe guls lo lell her lo her face. She reads your column every day.

Wili you prinl Ihis? Dear Wife: The invilalion for our high school's 25lh reunion came lasl week. I'd love lo go. Will you please lose 30 pounds so I can be proud of you?
