As far as the pit bull is concerned, he is a good weight. His eyes look bright. He had a problem with engorged ticks in his ears (five at least in each ear), but after I talked to my neighbor about it, he took care of it. I checked Paul's (the pitbull) ears out when I was petting him on Saturday and all the ticks were gone. I also ran my hands over his sides and there didn't seem to be any ticks there either. He's just realllllllly dirty. He has food and water and a doghouse which is in the shade under a holly tree.

Animal Control would not do anything about it. They would say he has food, water, & shelter and that is all that the law requires.

I told the cousin that the reason why I wanted to put up the privacy fence was to protect Paul cause he is such a sweetie. I told him I would completely be upset if Paul got hung up on the chain link fence. So, hopefully, they will listen, maybe put him closer to their deck or something.....inside with them I wish, but I doubt that would happen. If he was a pomeranian, they would let him in the house, but "They are too big to be in the house"...was what I was told by the neighbor.

Too big my arse!!!! There are people who let their Great Danes in the house, what's wrong with a 70 pound pitbull?
