Animal care providers had to use warm water to gently pry Jiffy free from the ice. Locks of his hair are still frozen on the pavement in front of his house.Jiffy, an 11-year-old border collie, can now crawl but is too heavy to walk. The extra 50 pounds hes carrying almost cost him his life."It is very disturbing to see a dog that overweight and then to actually come up and see the dog frozen to the sidewalk. It was very, very traumatic for me, said Carey Payne, who is with the Sheboygan Humane Society. I've never seen a dog actually frozen to a sidewalk before.The owner told police she made frequents trips outside to check on the dog, but workers at the Sheboygan County Humane Society suggest the dog was abused long before he was frozen."You can overfeed a dog, and when you do the dog becomes extremely overweight, it cannot move properly, it puts a strain on all of their organs, said Payne. It's abuse. Thats plain and simple."Todd Wagner, the neighbor that called police, said the owner tried to free the dog.I tried to help (the owner) with it on Wednesday night, but I got bit by it so I left it alone. She had other people coming to help and everybody did make an effort, you know it's not that it was total neglect on her fault, he said.Investigators said the owner was released shortly after she was arrested, and it will be up to the district attorney to decide what charges she will face, if any.Aside from being overweight, the dog is in good health, according to the Humane Society.The organization said it has received multiple calls from people who are interested in adopting Jiffy.

I'm just waiting for the opportunity to call in Erica's neighbors for pet abuse.

Total white trash living next door I swear. They leave their poor dog out all day long, chained to the porch with a heavy duty chain. I mean, HEAVY duty. It's got to be hard to pull that thing around.

The poor dog acts like it's afraid of people. It's a big dog, but if you walk in front of their house he drops his head and goes up on the porch to stay away from you. He's been out there for 8 hours at a crack in temps in the upper teens.

Yesterday I had to yell at their punk kids. A couple 8 or 9 year old boys and a girl who's around that age too. They're over in their yard and can see my dog just a little through the fence (they didn't see me). One of the boys says "Somethings over there" and they start chucking snowballs and ice chunks at her.

Man, I don't remember the last time I yelled that loud

There is a reason I don't like people.

That poor dog probably gets no love and gets kicked around when it is in the house. No wonder why it shys away from people.

Yeah, just what I was thinking.

These kids throw their garbage over their fence into Erica's yard too.

I just know the day is coming that I'll be going over there to talk to the parents, but judging from the fact their garage is left with the doors open 24/7, the way they treat their dog, the way they let their kids run wild in the neighborhood and the fact they can't be bothered to shovel the snow on their sidewalk, I'm sure they're just a couple of losers who wont' give a crap what their kids are doing.

Sounds like it is time for you to "slip and fall" on their untreated sidewalks. Bet they will take notice and may listen then. I don't know about you guys, but there used to be an ordinance about cleaning off sidewalks after continuous snowfall.

Yeah, you've got 24 hours to clean your walk after a snowfall or the city will do it for you and fine you to cover the cost. But they never enforce it.

These idiots have a snow packed sidewalk because they never tried to shovel it.

You need to make a friend in the L&I department.
