Still shaking....Update on Goof page 5

[cassiesmom]

Wait, wait Dr. G. Let me be sure I have this right. Your neighbor has more than a dozen dogs and an inadequate fence. Your son was in your yard, with your dog. And Ima's friend's dog (not Ima's dog, but his friend's) was in your yard biting your son and your dog. And now Ima is trying to get you to say the bites were inflicted by a different dog, so that he does not wind up in trouble with that dog's owner. No way, Jose. Your son knows which dog bit him and your dog. If it was Ima's friend's dog, and not Ima's - well, now, that's unfortunate. Can Goofy do her business in another part of your yard? Can we get you a big old honkin fence to keep these aggressive dogs away from your family and your pets? In my not-so-secret heart, I would like to tie down Ima and his friend and let their own dogs have a go or two at them.

My parents' former next-door neighbors had two Rottweilers that were always outside - in the cold, heat, rain and everything inbetween - and we witnessed the neighbors hitting and kicking the dogs - told animal control but nothing was ever done. When it was scorching hot out we used to give them water in a bucket over the fence because their people didn't give a rip. The people never came out to pet or play with them, never cleaned up their poops, never showed them any kind of care. The people finally moved out and I don't know what happened to the dogs. I think animal control just didn't want to get involved because the dogs were Rottweilers. Or maybe they just didn't want to get between people and their "pets".

God, what a nightmare situation! I'm so glad that your son only needed 3 stitches and that your dog is going to be ok once all is said and done. It's ridiculous that your irresponsible adult neighbor would send his nephew over to speak with you, and even try to convince you to say it was another dog. He should be mature enough to come apologize on his own, and take responsibility for the animals on his property - even if they are "not his".
I hope that something happens as a result of all of this, whether it be charges filed against the owners, or their dogs being seized, or both. It sounds like an awful situation, and I'm sorry that you had to go through this today

Wow! This could have had a very tragic ending! I would be scared to death living that close to so many pit bulls that you know are trained to fight... I would be having a BIG fence installed around my property.... or moving!

It sounds to me like Mr. Ima Idiot was "training" the dog for someone else who probably paid big bucks for him. If you're lucky, Mr. Idiot will be in enough trouble that he'll have to skadoodle out of town.

And Adrian never made it off the deck? So this dog was basically hanging around outside your door? I'm thinking that some kind of restraining order may be called for here--so that he either keeps the dogs off your property or he goes to jail for contempt.

Wow, so first of all he lets a dog, that he doesn't even own, roam around the town?? I don't even have anything to say about this Ima Idiot guy.
I just want to say that I am glad Goofy is doing good. She has been through so much already in her life, and now this thanks to......people.
Please let your son know (as I'm sure you already have) that he did the right thing by kicking the dog. He basically saved Goofy's life. In my eyes Adrian is a hero!!!

[Glacier]

How scary. Hope both your son and Goofy recover quickly!

Thanks Elyse,
and yes you have it right, however Adrian never made to the yard part of the yard, I will take pics in the morning or my deck and yard he and Goof were nailed getting off the deck to the yard. I assumed he was in the grass area, until the police took his statement. He never made it off the deck area.

As for the "owner" I could give a rats a**, Adrian was scared but he isn't stupid, he knows a fawn and white as opposed to the blues and brindles that are over there. This pup and it is a pup (approx 40 lbs maybe 8 months old) was fawn blanket and white everywhere else.

I think I am done being scared, and now I am getting very very Pissy. With a capital P.

I did call on Goof, she is recovering fine, and Mandy bless her heart has tapes playing for her, someone remind me to make sure I send flowers to my vets amazing staff!

That's what I mean. Your son never left your property while he was outside with your dog. Ima's friend's puppy came into your yard, where he bit. I'm still mad for you.
