I think I am going to have to go across the street and talk to my neighbors. The woman who lives next to where Stel, the pitbull determined to attack me and kill the girls (stupid owner say, He probably wouldn't hurt you, he JUST wants to kill the animals)...came to our door yesterday evening. Because Molly wants out the front door, I held onto her, and dh answered the door. I should have, because he didn't ask any reasonable questions.
She had a petition she wanted us to sign to get rid of the two pitbulls that live up at the very end of the street, which is really the beginning of the next street over. I seldom see these dogs outside at all, and it was pointed out to me by dh that they have two huge "crates" (look like cages) outside. Now, this house is NOT behind these people. I have never ever seen the dogs loose on the street, or even being walked on the street. And I know the people did raise them from pups, because trust me, I kept an eye out for them after my experiences.
The neighbors in question LIVED NEXT DOOR TO A DANGEROUS PITBULL, and they did not try to get rid of him. I admit I did, but then, I was getting a little tired of being terrorized by him and his idiot owners who thought that him attacking us was funny. And I never could, in spite of him being declared dangerous. Thank heavens, they all moved far away.
So......I have to really wonder, why are these people trying to get rid of these two pitbulls? They are gone about half the time, traveling around the country. I have never seen an animal with them. I have not seen or heard of any problems in the area with these dogs. You would THINK DH WOULD HAVE ASKED?????
And no, we did not sign the petition. I have no reason to. Personally, I think it is useless, and we also feel that if they decide they don't like our dogs barking, then they might want to circulate a petition to get rid of them. Hey,.....do you think I could get them to circulate a petition to get rid of some of the other neighbors the pets can stay.
Gonna make me nuts, not knowing why.
