I realize that I am about to become a very unpopular person here. But what in the world are you people thinking? The world this day and age is a very dangerous place for a dog to live. There are laws being passed daily......hundreds of laws AGAINST the ownership of dogs.
Gizmo's mom I see you live in Texas?? Do you KNOW the laws in your county or city regarding dangerous dogs. Laws are not usually written per the SIZE of the dog but as to how vivsous the animal is. If there is a "dangerous dog law" it is usually three strikes and you're OUT! Meaning the government is going to kill your dog after three dog bites and sometimes even 3 threats. Size does not matter if things continue on the same course with the mailman. The U S Post Office has strick rules and regs regarding dogs. A threat is a threat even if it's a preceived threat.
IMO you should immediately attempt to make friends with your mailman! This is one person you simply do not want to hate your animal!!
IMO you (all of you) should stop laughing immediately. Your little girly dog has ONE strike against him.....a written warning letter. Is his rabies vaccine up to date?.....if not I would advise you renew his rabies shot ASAP....like TODAY. You do not want the sherriff to knock on your door and ask for it. Trust me you do not want that to happen.
I just wanted to add a bit of reality from the real world of today's attitude toward dogs in general. As pet owners we cannot allow our animals to threaten or even to make someone...anyone...afraid...because the dogs' very life may be in absolute danger. Animal control officers are no joke....many will follow the law to a tee and in TEXAS they are famous for following the law. They have NO guilt about taking your animal from you. There are many recorded cases of these events in TEXAS and the resulting death of the animal.
Anyway please please take whatever means necessary to keep your pet from getting "strike two". Just my humble opinion...and the real reality of the situation as I see! I mean no offense...I hope you can see I'm concerned for the well being of your Yorkie!
