Sad news about my friend's dogs and also a warning to all of you dog owners...

[DJFyrewolf36]

I agree with Phred. Id also tell them to watch for signs of poisioning on the other pup, they might poision again! Id have the police watch the nighbors...just for the safety of the surviving dog

RIP Clyde, bark all you want at the RB

Robyn, I can't tell you how sad this episode has made me. Bonnie and Clyde were such little scamps and I remember them well from when Bella would come to visit you at the old house and she would pay homage to their *authority*.

I too believe that the police should have been called and they could have done whatever investigation was indicated. Maybe they would have done a good job and maybe not, but at least they would have been alerted. This is definitely a case of animal cruelty. In our county that is taken very seriously.

Robyn, please convey to your old neighbors our condolences for their loss. Tell them our hearts know their sadness and our eyes have shed tears over Clyde's loss and Bonnie's suffering.

Robyn, when you mother made me aware of this, I cried. I cannot, for the life of me, understand what causes such hate in people to hurt animals or other human beings. It is definitely a sickness.

Please let your friends know that we are thinking about them. I truly don't think I could have let an incident like this slide. I would have had to contact the police. Perhaps too much time has elapsed now, but I think I'd have to say something. If they are capable of doing this, God knows what else they would do.

What a sad, sad story. Poor Clyde and Bonnie. RIP Clyde.

This kind of thing would personally send me over the edge. I'm
sorry, but I could not just do nothing about it. Reporting this
incident to the police is the least I would do. I would be sure
that everyone else in the neighborhood knew there was danger
around there so everyone else could be on guard for any similar
incidents. Those poor people.

they have no idea just how lucky they are it wasnt my dogs they poisoned,, I think mysterious things would start happening to them....... get my drift?????

Poor, poor pups.


Poor Clyde.. I hope your barking haunts these evil people ion their sleep.

[luvofallhorses]

oh my gosh how terribe!!!..run little one and bark your heart out at the RB

That is sad. That is why I was so freaked about Sarah's barking problem. Sarah is in the house most of the time, but when she goes outside, she wears a bark collar. Some people think it is cruel, but after hearing your friend's story, I'd rather her wear that collar then be poisoned.

A very similar occurence happened in my neighborhood recently. My neighbor across the street had a Pom and a Shih-tzu. The Shih-tzu barked a lot. The lady would let her out in the middle of the night and the little thing would bark a lot to get back in (apparently neighbor fell asleep before letting her back in).

Long story short, someone put anti-freeze in the yard. Shih-tzu didn't touch it, but the Pom did and the poor baby didn't make it. Broke my heart.

Rest in peace little Scotty boy and may you and Pom bark to your hearts content. It will be music to the angels' ears and I agree with Kayfamr, may they (the killers) never get your beautiful voice out of their ugly heads.

Condolences to the family of Clyde. :-( So very sad.

That is disgusting....I don't understand people like that......I'm just glad we live in a very dog friendly neighbourhood.....I think there's only one house in my imediate area without dogs so barking is just accepted around here....RIP Clyde, I didn't know you but you centainly deserved better

[lovemyshiba]

Rest in Peace, Clyde.

What a sad, awful story.

I had a beagle growing up, named Spike. He was a great dog. He would go hunting with my dad, but come home when he got bored, lol. Mostly enjoyed lounging on the couch.

I don't remember how old I was at the time, but I think Spike was around 3 or 4 when he got very sick. Our neighbors 3 houses down had a little white cocker or poodle (I just cannot remember). We didnt' ever leash Spike then, we had a lot of land and lived on a dead end street--he always came home
Spike was very sick and we didn't know why. Buffy (neighbor's dog) also got very ill, but sadly she didn't make it.
The vet did confirm that it was poison of some sort--Spike made it, but it killed Buffy.
Apparently one of the neighbors wasn't a dog person, and put something out that the dogs got into, probably anti-freeze as well.

I had almost forgotten about that until I read your post. It sickens me that people can be like that. It scares me too. Abbey is a barker, and it can be a piercing bark--it's like a song to me, but someone else may not feel that way. Our direct next door neighbors have never said a word about it, and with kids who go to bed very early, I'm quite surprised. I know neither of them would do anything like this, but I'm sure anyone could throw something over the fence. Just last spring one of their cats was poisoned in a similar way.

Your friends are in my thoughts, and may Clyde bark to his content at the Bridge.
