I dreaded the day when the house next door would be rented by people with a pitbull and that just happened. There’s already one down the block that they let out unleashed in the front yard. Ever since I was a kid I’ve had a fear of large mean dogs and nightmares but I usually never thought about it until I started reading online about all the pit attacks and now see them on a regular basis in my neighborhood. sadly I can’t even take walks anymore which my physical therapist highly recommended.
maybe someone can suggest a product that you can carry to stop them in their tracks.
post office workers might know of something
I got a treadmill and an open window. In your shoes I'd go further: 1, buy the rental next door and evict them; 2, take your dreams more seriously.
