Saw something that really got under my skin today.

my brain | Me

[West Texas Chuck]

One of these days, my neighbor is going to forget to shut his gate, and Mr. Dog Spitter is going down. That pitty prolly goes 80 pounds or so, it will be ugly. I'll LMAO.

[1rudeboy]

Did you give the dog a treat?

[leapfrog0202]

What a jerk that guy was! I’m wishing the dog had at least got a piece of his hand or something through the fence.

He’ll be the first one crying about dogs being vicious if one of those dogs gets out and gets him too.

No need for that behavior at all. Karma needs to come get that guy and I hope your neighbors are insured well because you know if something happens he’ll be suing.

I’m glad it was you and not me. Sometimes my mouth runs away with my brain.

[jtal]

Take photographs.

[ottbmare]

It will serve the guy right if the dog takes a piece out of him, but then what will happen is that the dog will be labeled vicious and will be put down. That won’t be too funny, will it?

[Mr. Mojo]

You going to talk to your neighbor about this incident? He may know something.

[Silentgypsy]

When I worked w/juvenile offenders, they used to open the gates to let the dogs out, and then return after half an hour to burglarize the place. Sounds like this mutha jumpa had a history of mistreatment w/that dog. Good spot. I hope the dog doesn’t suffer for protecting his property. (I used to take care of interlopers myself. Kept dogs inside; I went out to circle the perimeter.)

[GladesGuru]

IMHO, if testimony is proffered regarding the deliberate teasing of a pit bull by Senor E.L Stupido, the jury will likely award ten pounds of meat to be given to the dog.

Oops - you mean the dog already had his ten pounds from the plaintiff?

Case closed

Court is adjourned.

[West Texas Chuck]

Sad, but you are probably right. Still, this guy has something coming to him. Maybe he’s been chased by dogs before, I know I have and I ride bikes a lot, but I like dogs and I don’t antagonize them. I mean they seem to be good animals, don’t cause any problems, but I can see the headlines now: “Another pitbull attacks a person.”

[RightOnline]

Sorry, Chuck....I see no heroes in this story. Live your life and forget it.

[lurk]

Can you modify the top of the fence so that it flexes down when the dog is really excited?

This would make fun film if the man in question suddenly found that there was no fence between him and the dog.

[Lazlo in PA]

If the POS is riding on his bike next time, be sure to be out brooming something. As he goes by, run the handle of the broom through his moving wheel spokes. The abrupt stop should get his attention. Then tell him spitting on dogs isn't accepted in your neighborhood. That should put a fast stop to it.

[West Texas Chuck]

I know you are right, I won’t do anything. Take his pic or act like I am, use the cerebral approach. I’m too old and broke down to get in a fight with somebody. Just really eats at me this guy would do something so dumb.

[IM2MAD]

Can you have a camera handy in case the jerk shows up again?

[unkus]

Get into a concealed position and smack him in the legs with a pellet gun.

[blueplum]

I’d advise your neighbor to get the burgler alarm and cameras working. Toot sweet. And brush up the dog on not eating any meat thrown in the yard.

You see, we Americans have respect and a love for dogs, even those we don’t particularly cotton to. Other nationalities, on the other hand, won’t think twice about killing them, and cruely, if they stand in the way of their objective.

Your neighbor obviously has something scumbag feels ‘entitled’ to, and intents to take. Tormenting the dog is the first step in turning it into an object - and in it’s death.

I would take this event very seriously.

[so_real]

Set up a full motion game camera and capture some video you can share with the American Humane Association and your local authorities. One of these days that idiot is going earn himself a solid dog bite. An angry 80lb pitbull could tear his face off. You'd be doing your neighbor a huge favor establishing the animal cruelty history in advance. Without prior evidence of abuse, the dog will be destroyed and your neighbor will be paying the idiot's bills for the rest of his life. I'd hate to see your neighbor penalized for another's stupidity.

[BereanBrain]

I am calling BS on this. There are residences in the fox-and-jacobs tract home areas in Garland that have an 8 foot hurricane fence?

Nope. In LA, but not in Garland.

Name the street and I will drive by to see a 8 foot mesh link fence.

For those who don’t know Garland, it looks JUST like ARLEN in King of the Hill.....There are no 8 foot mesh fences, and you can’t spit through a wooden fence.

[West Texas Chuck]

Oh, I promise you, if the guy had come my way I would have knocked him off his bike, in my yard, and told the cops he started some stuff with me. But he probably did Golden Gloves in Juarez or something and would kick my arse.

That just really pissed me off, those dogs don’t do any harm, they are just happy to be in the backyard and able to run around and frolick after being in the house all day.

I have a pellet pistol and can fire from a hidden location, one of those in the butt might send a message. Or get the cops called on me. No, I don’t want to do anything aggressive, I’ll take the high road on this.
