On Friday, my 3 teenage children got out of school early so I allowed them to come home to do some chores and just hang out. I had a faculty meeting and had to stay late that day. They had only been home for about an hour when my 14 year old daughter called crying hysterically that Davinci was dead. Apparently they were do a few chores and had opened the back door to take out the trash. They did not notice that Davinci had gotten out. Within minutes they heard screaming and ran out the front door to see a strange pitbull shaking Davinci. My son screamed and ran at the dog startling it into letting Davinici go. The dog ran to our neighbors house. The same neighbors who's son brought the dog over that killed Coco 2 years ago. My girls were hysterical, but my son (age 16) took over and picked Davinci up. He was already gone. I rushed home, but at that point there was nothing I could do.
My husband is a Sheriff's deputy and he rushed home. We later found out that the dog was recently purchased by the neighbors son and he had brought it over the night before and he spent the night with his mom. These people are my husband's uncle's widow and son, but family or not he was furious. We called another officer to come out and take a report and talk to them. The son has been in and out of jail and my husband was so angry that I did not want him to confront the dude personally until he could calm down. The son gave the usual BS excuse that his dog was a "family dog" and had "never" shown aggression, etc. etc. Just Bulls**t!
I am going to the courthouse on Monday to file a suit against him and his mother. I'm tired of dealing with these ignorant people and tired of my family suffering for their stupidity.
My children are devastated, especially the 14 year old. I cannot seem to help her deal with this and am very concerned about how much she is grieving losing Davinci. I am going to consult our family physician tomorrow about her. All 3 feel guilty even though I have assured them that it was not their fault. Davinci loved being outside. We had no idea that the pitbull was even near our property. We had lived peacefully since the first incident, thinking that our only concern was the hawks that lived in our area.
I can't type anymore right now and just don't even know what to say anymore. Diva is grieving and my whole family is devastated by the loss of our little Davinci.
Hug your babies extra tight tonight. |
When are simple people gonna realize that pitbulls cannot be owned by any moron. I don't blame the breed but the idiots that are not trained or educated to own this breed. I hope you sue the pants off of them and maybe they will learn they are not suitable dog owners. And i will go home and hug my Paris and i send my blessing to you and your family for your loss.
