Caladiums for trade

I sure will. I only had one other dog poop her self and she was just a tiny puppy and a couple big dogs were checking her out. But he is full grown. I can't stand the thoughts of him being that scared let alone hurt. You are right about a child also. Something has to be done even if she is chained up to keep her in. It ain't gonna happen to anything else. I hate he is so hurt. It makes me cry to see him like this. If you don't even go out and pet your dogs why do they have them?

I was going to put up an invisible fence but it won't keep other dogs out. It is bad because if she would have got him around the neck she would have shock him and broke his neck. I mind my own business and my puppies don't go around hurting animals and I will not have one coming here to get mine. I am putting a shovel out front and next time it is here even if Lucky is not out I will smack it. I don't believe in vicious animals. And most of the time it is the owners fault for not spending time with them or teaching them to be guard dogs. I will catch up with the dog catcher tomorrow and he likes Lucky and I am sure he won't be too happy.

It is ok what you said...I am way more than pissed. And add heartbroken too :o(

He has a great spirit and the heart of a Lion. I love this little guy.

I will keep you informed all the way.

Sandy,How did this come out?

My baby is doing fine. A lot going on so I have talked to the dog catcher but have not ta;led to the neighbor except an update on our one neighbor who has stage 4 liver cancer. I am working up my nerve but with a lot going on I just have not had a chance to catch her and her husband together. I want him there.

I am just way to nice for my own good.

Pray for me as they need to pay for this.

Blessings.
Sandy

You & your sweet baby will surely be in my prayers.
I'm a sweet person,too;but when it comes to my furbabies,I can be a tiger.
People may get away being nasty to me but "not" my babies.

I agree with Cactus - kick butt on the woman. Don't let this slip past because it COULD be a child the next time. Then you would never forgive yourself. Or even another small dog that loses it's life. You can't just brush it off.

Hi everyone! Glad Lucky is doing better ILJ ;-)

So, shitzu , do you still have caladiums for trade? I'd like some if they're still availble.

Thanks, Mechelle

I've been lurking.

Sandy, I'm so glad your baby is better. She really is "Lucky". I can't imagine what you've been going through and are still having to deal with. My T&P's are with you!

shihtzumom, IWould you be interested in trading for low-growing Sedums suitable for containers or planting in the ground. Most of mine are named and some are hardy for us. We only live 2 hours apart........please D-mail me if you're interested and I'll return the list of what I have. THX!

shihtzumom,

PLMK if you're interested in trading.

Thanks!

I'm sorry I've been off DG for over a week. Company for several days and work has been awful. I'm sending the caladiums to 4paws in Florida now that she is settled. She has sent me so many things over the years and helped teach me the way of coop hosting. I want her to have them.

So many generous people have helped me too, just since I joined in March. I have a lot of paying forward, hopefully next year I'll be in a better position to do so. Hope we can get together another time. And that's great 4paws is the recipient!

AGREED. . there are alot of very generosity here at DG. . . and have made friends too!!!

OK I finally took her the bill and she is really mad. I cried but I should not feel bad. She says both dogs were lose and I said It made no difference her dog attacked mine. She tried to hand me the bull back and I would not take it. She said she could not afford it and I said I can't and I said I will pay his neutering and the rest was from her dog. She is really mad. She said she may have to make the 15 dollar a month payments and I said after 2 more months the interest is 28%. She is going to the Vet but they will tell her it is civil. So when she stops to talk to the Judges office she will find out by law it is her bill to pay. She said we could split it and I did not agree and I won't.

I said It has taken me this long to bring it to you because it is not something I wanted to do but their dog was at fault. I cried all after noon because I hate to ask someone to do something they should feel they should pay for. I told her if it was my dog who bit hers I would feel and I would do all I could and pay it. When that came out of my mouth I felt like it sounded like I was telling her she should feel guilty but that is not how I said it. I said it as if my dog did it I would pay it I would have to find a way.

I did not mention I already looked up the law and she can owe me pain and suffering for watching him go through that. I don't care she did not feel bad it was just I can't pay it. Well don't have dogs.

I am afraid of retaliation on my son as their son is a cop but they better keep him back as I will have his badge removed. I am tired. I keep watch of him like a hawk. I can not take him out front for fear their dog gets out. I hate this kind of thing. I would rather not do it but I had to. I can't not pay it because I can't afford it. But it is not my problem. But their will be problems I know. Her husband use to be a hot head big time. He tried to get my DH to step outside because our kids were picking on each other. It was hell. And now it is just me. But I won't back down if I have to cry all the way through it.

I am angry now because she was so (your dog was not on a leash) Does that mean her dog had a right to hurt my little dog? I don't think so. If her homeowners finds out she has a dog that bits they will not be happy. But you know I don't live here for a popularity contest. This is my home.

I sure wish I did not feel like I did something wrong. I know I did not. I know I will be the talk of our little town but so be it.

Take that extra step and let the HOA know about her dog!!! BEFORE another animal or child gets hurt!! Because if that happens, then you WILL have done something wrong, by NOT letting others know of a potentionally dangerous dog. At the same time, you will no longer be "alone" in this!

The more you put your foot down, the less guilt you will feel. Don't get nasty , but don't let them make you feel threatened!!

I agree with Dirtygirl, call the home owners assoc and report this. Also contact the local police depart and without telling them your name just ask what should be done about a dog who has attacked your dog. Animal control should be able to do something about this. The sucky thing about taking her to civil court is - yes, the judge may rule that she pay the bill but you can't MAKE her pay it. Then it's up to you to collect. Just go from other directions like stated above.

Don't let yourself get so emotional. The woman should have been "billed" a long time ago.

home owners assoc we don't have and I had told the dog catcher and today I told a cop. Well they own 4 vehicles. I will make sure their home owner insurance knows.

what did the dog catcher say?

It is a civil matter. This place is a joke. But a few more days I will be writing her a letter to ask for her homeowners insurance policy number. I got the new bill today. It has been 4 days since she said give her 2 days.

A lot going on and I am very depressed. I can't seem to have a want to. Not even when my plants may freeze. Life sometimes is way too hard.

She won't give you her policy number - I'm sure of that, I wouldn't. You should call the local insurance agencies and ask if ______ has their policy with them. Tell them you have a claim. OR contact your insurance company and tell them what happened - that's the best choice !!!!

I know she has Allstate. I have a book I bought and it tells if she won't give up the policy number or notify them herself then my next letter is to give her warning that in 5 days I will be filing suit. I can't remember exactly how it reads but I am ready. I am tired, I am so far behind because SSD did take my chck and now everyine I couldn;t pay is after me to pay. I am so depressed it is not even funny. And there people like her are smug in their little world of I don't care.

Sorry I did not mean to get on a soap box but They will have Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas for Grand kids and go along their merry way. Well I am tired of people who think they are not responsible for anything that happens around them and I am tired of being the weeny that lets them get away with it. Not today. If I take it that far I want it all. Pain and suffering for watching him suffer and all the tears I shed wondering if he would walk. It is not fair.

Sorry if I sound mean but he is my baby and he is so afraid of larger dogs now. My depression is way off. I just can't deal with one more thing. But this I will follow through on. Poor little guy to have to live in fear and to have to stay in a playpen when I have things to do. I don;t go out unless it is to get my mail. My back yard is where I stay with my 2 babies.
