Dear Lisa How perfectly awful that you have had these experiences and are having to go through this S#@*T again !!! One thing I did a long time ago when a neighbor had a Pit that he bragged he paid $700 to get trained to be a 'guard' dog was we had a chain link fence between us and I poured concrete along the bottom of the fence to help block that merciless sucker. I would report to the police that those dogs are next to you so they are aware' and can get there in a hurry. Always keep your phone with you and carry a gun or mace spray. Not much will deter one of them when they go rampant but heck you have to try to do something to protect yourself ! Prayers for your safety and the safety of your pets and those you love. If anyone has a Pit out there in Chi land you have to turn your cheek this time as this is one person who can not tolerate vicious dogs !

I blame their bad behavior on the owner. A few years ago I was visiting a friend & she had a shar/pit mix & a pit in her home. She said she fed them table food so when I finished eating I divided my food in half & gave it to them. The pit was on the sofa beside me & she looked up at me & bit me in the nose & I drove myself to the ER & got stitches on both sides of my nose outside, inside & on the inner septum. The police came & took a report. After that I would tell my boys that no matter what pets we had that they should never put their face in harms way. Now my next door neighbors have a fenced yard that divides my property from them & their 2 pits & poodle & occasionally the pits escape under the fence. Yesterday I was gardening & one of them charged at me barking ferociously & was ready to attack me. The fence was the only thing keeping me safe & I was on my knees pulling weeds & it scared the crap out of me & made me mad as well!! I would never harm any animal but I'm so fearful of these 2 pits that I am ready to contact animal control to see if any action can be taken to protect me & my pets. A few years ago they lived in a different home & had one pit & he killed a rott & they bragged about how they could hear the bones crunching as their dog refused to release his grip on the other dog which had to be put down at the vets office due to the severity of his injuries. I am pretty passive & try to let things slide, but I'm at the point now that I'm really, really, scared & something has to be done to protect my neighborhood, my pets & my family. I'd probably do something awful if their pits ever got one of my babies!! Lisa To know me is to LOVE me...:-)
