Enemies

What is something that someone has done to you that just made you SO FRIGGIN MAD that you can't even think straight?

Schmall · Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2008 1:52 pm Post subject:

So, tigereyz and I have a dobermen pincher. He's 80lbs, energenic, handsome as can be, and one of the most friendly dogs you will meet. He just doesnt like other dogs getting behind him. He must have them in sight at all times and hates it when they charge up at him. We are aware of this and warn other dog owners before we let Dezul get too close.

The nieghbors downstairs have too mini pinchers who are never on leashes and bite people. They have no training and dont listen to thier owner. The boyfriend of the owner dont even like them. they have attacked dezul a few times and even tigereyz has felt thier teeth. It got to the point that we even took a spare leash down to them and just gave it to them. Boy did that tick them off. Now we carry vinegar in a squirt bottle. Vinegar is like a mild form of mace to a dog. It stings thier eyes and causes something like an asthma attack, effectively stops them in thier tracks.

As for when we take dezul on long walks, we have had a couple of instances. We had already walked past this woman's place (known for being a bit of a crazy drunk) and had Koorlic and Drieton with us. They were well ahead of us and we spotted a known dog come up and greet them. Tigereyz has met the dog before and knows its a good dog. As mentioned before, Dezul is not with dogs that are strange to him. We called out to the owner that our dog is a mean dog and asked her to put her dog under complete control. We waited a good 5 minutes before continuing our walk. The dog was just simply on the otherside of the house untied. So the dog charged up to greet dezul and almost lost his nose as dezul snaps at him. The old women is telling for her dog and its not listening of course. I had to hold its collar and pet him till tigereyz had dezul well away. I let go and to the dog took off. I had to scare the dog away by taking off a sandel and beating a telephone pole to make loud noise. The old women had the nerve to yell at us to keep our dog under control. we promptly called the cops to have them tell her to put her dog on a leash. we made the call so that there is a report on her in case it happens again.

Another time is when a man zoned out and his pitbull actually attacked dezul while our friend was walking him. we are just glad he had an experienced friend with him who gain control of the dog and put it inside for the owner for he never even seemed to notice as he sat on his swinging bench in front of his house.

The town as a whole is pathetic. they are nice and polite until someting happens against thier ideal conservative, catholic ways, then they think they are above the law. we have had issues with this small town and cant wait till I finish my education and and can move away. Couple more years to go at least. Maybe more.

~NOTE~
I made this as a topic as Idiot dog owners under general. decided to move it here. bit repeatitive, but you will see our frustration better this way.

some minor corrections so ppl don't get the wrong idea....Diesel is NOT a mean dog...he plays just fine with other dogs...SO LONG as they do not charge at him, or suprize him by comming up behind him. and Second, if the dog that attacked diesel had been a pit bull...we would no longer have a dog...it was in fact a boxer, and the owner just sat there and watched as the dog yanked it's leash out of the owner's hands and ran after our dog.

Well that soudns ;like somethign you do need to get the cops involved with. They can probably get the animals taken away at the very least, and may be able to be prosecuted for something like negligence. If you get bit again and you have the marks, call the police, if you catch them near your dog again outside a fenced area take a photo for evidence. Everything you explain here can be brought to court to have the dogs removed. There is no reason to not follow the laws set up, they need to learn that the hard way. f they continue to give you trouble then find a way to get a restraining order on them, that will always be fun.

the problem is that the boyfriend lives there and is one his way becoming an officer in some sort of law enforcement agency around here. I also think he grew up here so the town will instantly be bias towards him. we are just waiting for them to bite us or the dog again so that we can take pics of the bite and call the cops. the dogs are requred by state law to be quarntined like tigereyz said for at least 10 days if up to dat on shots, 45 if not. The owners will have to pay the vet for all the boarding fees too

Well now that he may be going in law enforcement do be careful, it can get pretty bad there. Luckily he can not always be on you r cases giving you tickets and what not or else you can probably get him kicked off the force. Also, if he gets in trouble in any way you can always have somethign against him to make him not able to become a cop, which means he would have to do something more minor. Still, the situation is rather icky.

For now they ignore us and we ignore them. We all keep track of one another so that we dont have another dog fight. The neighbor waits for us to go in before he comes out and if he is out first, we go across the street. Of course I secretly hope that the dogs dash across the road and get run over. Nothing pain. something like a big rig and a splat.

I don't want the dogs hurt....I might say I do from time to time...but it's not their fault that their owners are morons.

I LOVE MORONS!!! They're so funny.

It may be possible (I think, from watching those stupid court shows) that you can sue them if the dogs attack you, and maybe your dog too, but it might just be best to get the police involved, or just avoid them as much as possible. Owners are responsible for their pet's actions in their custody.

Schmall · Posted: Tue Aug 19, 2008 3:13 pm Post subject:

When it comes to something like suing them, I want them to have a bad history first. Get a couple of offical complaints recorded at the police station and get the dogs quarintined at the vets. This way the vet can be a character witness and the reports against them will also be used in the court.

Right now, the guerilla of a boyfriend is being okay. Its the true owner, the girlfriend, who runs hot and cold, and provides no discipline for the dogs. She want everything for her dogs, not caring about the rest of the world and how it operates. It blows.

Thanks though beanbaker. Each thought that adds to solving this problem counts for something.

If you sue I will loose all respect that I have of you. Suing may help your life, but it can be crippling to others. There are better things to do, even if it means getting rid of the dogs via callign a pound. While they will be distraught, they still have their house and food. If you sue they may not have those and it would be horrible.

I personally dont care for suing. Takes too long. I rather take measures into my own hands by calling the cops about unleashed dogs, making the dogs be quarintined and the owner paying the vet for the 10 days of boarding, and other means to get the dogs on leashes. I dont blame the dogs. I blame the owners for thier incompitence (sp?). Of course, if I needs stitches from thier teeth, the owner will be paying for them.

As for a pound, the Aroostook county doesnt have one. The local cop in charge, he simply takes unclaimed strays out back and uses a 50 cent shot and a shovel to take care of the problem. Hate it. Its only rumors I think.

But Koku, I dont sue. It solves nothing. I go after the problem. If you broke my car, you are fixing it or getting me a new car. If that doesnt work, I will find a way of getting even. Sueing is a coward's way of solving issues. Means nothing in all reality.

Calling the cops may also not solve the problem as much as create unwanted animosity. The best thing to do is to confront the owners and discuss the problem. Also as for the cop taking out dogs, that would have to be a false rumor as it would be considered animal cruelty and he himself would get arrested. I mean, if those rumors are spreading already, surely an investigation would have been launched.

Koku · Posted: Tue Aug 19, 2008 3:50 pm Post subject:

Indeed, chances are they would just take the dogs out of the county into a kettle. As for what you said Archaic, they tried talking to the people but they won't listen so a mediator (the police) needs to be involved.

AH I apologize.. I had so much catching up to do, I did what I hate and only skimmed through the replies. If that is the case than yes get the police involved, but not for malicious intentions. Using the police as mediators in this argument is by far the best thing you can do. Also, it will alert the police as to your situation, thus if anything were to arise in the future, they will trust you more so than before.
