My family just recently moved to a new neighborhood that's kindof country-esque. Its not quite out in the boonies, but close to it. There are two neighbors around here that think its ok to let their dogs roam. One of them is a cute, tan and white female pit bull. She is dog friendly, people friendly, and cat friendly. However, she likes to go where she shouldn't, like my garage! I had to grab her butt and shove her out of my garage on Sunday so that my mom could put the door down to keep her out. We had our dogs out for a walk and she tried to follow us back into the house, which Daisy (my lab mix) did NOT like whatsoever! At least the pit bull only seems to come over on weekends.
The other dog is an older, female boxer named Foxy. She roams around every morning/early afternoon. I had my dogs out for a walk at 8:00 this morning so they could use the bathroom and Foxy comes over to us to see my dogs. At first they are all just sniffing, then all of a sudden Foxy tries to start something, there is growling and a fight ensues. I put my foot in between Daisy and Foxy and break it up while yelling "Get away from my dogs!!" I don't need my dogs getting attacked!
In my old neighborhood, dogs were never outside without owners present. These two dogs never have owners anywhere in sight! The only reason I know Foxy's name is because there were some kids at the bus stop this morning yelling "Foxy!" Neither dog has tags, Foxy has a choke chain and the pit bull has no collar at all. I don't know if those kids just know Foxy or if she is their dog, but I think I know what house she lives in. As for the pit bull, I only know which direction she comes from, and that she found some way through a barbed wire fence.
These loose dogs get on my nerves, and they worry me because my dad had an electric fence installed which we are currently training our dogs to, and I don't want to leave them outside all day like my dad would like to once they are trained to the electric fence because I don't want to come home to chewed up dogs. (Although, I think Foxy is more likely to hurt my dogs than the pit bull, the pit is almost TOO friendly!).
Its just not safe for those stupid owners to let their dogs roam. Foxy tried to get hit by the school bus this morning.
Do people in the country just care less, or what??
I may be printing out some stuff about LEASH LAWS for Foxy's owner!
