Oh how awful L I would be scared too.
I completely agree with the other poster who said to secure your side of the fence and contact Animal Control. Call AC as many times as you need to if your neighbors will not listen to your concerns. You're right - the safety of your family and the entire neighborhood is at risk. The ones you should be most afraid of are the humans - they're either ignoring the needs of their high energy dogs or encouraging their bad behavior - and unfortunately the dogs are going to be the ones to pay the price L Mary From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Yorkiluvr Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 12:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Chihuahuas] pit bulls My brother had a pit that he raised from a puppy & Petey listened & was well mannered & so I let my guard down around them. 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...:-)
