Neighbor and my dogs

oachs -

You have as much control over my posting as you have over your dogs.
My information is absolutely accurate.
Perhaps you should Google "warm and fuzzy"

Curious, I googled "warm and fuzzy."

There are 2,150,000 entries for warm and fuzzy, and pictures of seal pups and kittens appear.

Other than blogs that seem to use the words frequently, either together or separately, there is the Urban Dictionary which lists it. The Urban Dictionary definition for "warm and fuzzy" is the warm, pleasant sensations one feels in the stomach and heart area when moved by an act of goodwill or love.

The opposite of warm and fuzzy is "cold prickly", a note that makes one sad, depressed and causes one to go down a notch on the self-esteem ladder of life.

Actually my dogs seem to listen a hell of a lot better than you. What is this like the third post of stupid comments you made after I asked for no more comments or opinions? But you seem to be one of those guys that need to get in the last word. So go ahead come up with some stupid comment. I will let you get in the last word because I am done responding to you from now on.

You can get as defensive as you like, but you should examine why you're feeling so defensive. Most people don't feel that defensive unless they're guilty of what they're being accused of.

You are doing your dogs no favors, you are doing yourself no favors, you are doing your neighbors no favors by not having your animals under control. 4 times in 2 months is completely inexcusable.

Ignore the good advice you've been given in this thread if you wish, but it's to the detriment of your dogs that you supposedly love so much. I would imagine that if you do truly love your dogs you'd want the best for them. That includes proper training and safety measures, like a fence. I have 3 dogs myself, they are all trained and under my control. You most certainly can and SHOULD train a dog on a lead until they are able to obey the command to stop, stay, whatever you use, at the sound of your voice.

So go on and be angry at me and anyone else spouting unwanted 'opinions' if you like, but the only creatures you're hurting are your dogs. You're being needlessly stubborn and it's going to have a negative effect on your dogs and your life and honestly, the pound is the least of your concerns.

Just glad I could help you oachs!

OP, honestly, if they have gotten out 4 times and your neighbor is just now threatening to report the dogs, he is much nicer than you make him out to be. If I was walking with my chihuahua, and perhaps a child or two, and two dogs ran up to me, I would report it immediately. Them getting out AT ALL is unacceptable. You saying it has "only" been 4 times? You are not being a responsible pet owner. I'm not being mean to you, I am stating facts. How bad would you feel if your sweet dogs got hit by a car? Guess what? If they did, and your poor deceased dog dented a car when it got hit, guess who would be responsible for the car damage?

It isn't just that your dogs could hurt someone or something...lets say they are the sweetest dogs ever. My dog is...he wouldn't hurt anything, he really can't anyway since he is 4 pounds. But he could get hurt by so many things if he were out loose!

You owe it to your dogs to make sure they are secure, not just to your neighborhood. I would be very displeased if I had a new neighbor with two dogs that got loose. 4 times is 4 times to many and after the 2nd I would no longer be a nice forgiving neighbor. Neighbors have other dogs, children, property they want and have the right to protect. Get defensive if you want, but to others, your dogs aren't sweet, they might be scary and annoying.

Oachs, you are extremely ignorant.

You say you would have no one to blame but yourself if something happened- but what if your dogs attacked a small child and they had to live with the scars for the rest of their lives? Or killed someone else's beloved family pet?

But since you probably are too arrogant to feel bad if something like that happens, let me put it in terms you can more easily understand:

If you keep letting your dogs run loose, they will cost you. It may just be a fine to pick them up from the pound, or it may be an extremely expensive lawsuit for permanant scars.. medical costs, pain and suffering, the whole 9 yards.

Stop running your mouth on the forums for one minute and think about all the very legitimate points the people who you think have been rude to you are bringing up.

They aren't trying to be rude, they are trying to give you a reality check you clearly feel, wrongly, you don't need.

Not too long ago I adopted an older stray dog from the Humane Society. I fear she will always be in training.

A recently discovered talent she has is leaping straight up in the air, all feet off the ground, to knock a bird off its flight path - all while on a leash. It is both impressive and horrifying at the same time.

Thank goodness little kids can't fly.

Sure they can. Just have to load them in the catapult.

What is the name of your state? Minnesota

Sorry if this is in the wrong subject but I tried to find the best one please direct me if I am in the wrong place.

So I have two just turned 1 year old Germain shorthair dogs. I just moved to a new place and put up a invisible fence. For the first month I lived here I did not have th fence and if the dogs happened to see a bird they would chase it. I never had to chase them over ten minutes and most of the time they would come back. Now I have the fence working and I am trying to get the bugs out of it. Today the neighbor comes outside to take his dogs across the street to "go potty" (that way he doesn't feel he needs to pick up the doodie) and his dogs come out barking and pulling on the leash. I thought I had the fence dialed in but my male dog trotted through the fence into the street to get a sniff of the dogs (no aggression whatsoever just curiosity). My neighbor starts to yank his dogs back yells at my dog uses his foot to get my dog away and starts to yell at me. He tells me I need my dogs on a leash and if they ever step foot into his yard he calling the pound. Now my dogs have never ever shown aggression and I have never heard them bark ever unless they are playing together. My dogs have gone through their yard before I got the fence going but have only passed through the yard. They have never pottied or even stayed in his yard for ten seconds. I realize legally that is probably not o.k. but I don't want him calling the pound on me for something so harmless. The dogs are not left out unless I am outside and we are usually out for a half hour a day at the most. I don't want any strikes against me if my dogs happen to run through the fence again. Is there anything I can do? Thanks P.S. it really is a bummer because the last thing I wanted was a fued with the neighbor I have tried to talk friendly to the guy before but he seems old and crotchety.

If I had a neighbor like you, I'd be crochety too. I probably also shoot your dogs in the butt with the paint ball gun the next time they came into my yard or they came after me. That bright spot of paint would serve as your last warning. The next time, it probably wouldn't be my paint ball gun. Keep your dogs at home unless you want to lose your dogs. If you can't keep them under control, you should give them up to a home where they would be controlled.
