I feel so bad for that 7 yr old yorkie or any yorkies that have fallen victim to large dogs with irresponsible owners. I have a neighbor that just bought a 7 month old Malamute/Husky type female pup (wow, thats the size of almost a full grown dog now) anyways it's been getting loose and I found it many times in our yard of which they have a high wooden fence between us too. My husband and I talked to the neighbor about her "big" dog running loose especially in our yard where we have two little 5 lb. each yorkies.
When we confronted her to please tie up her dog, that there was a city lease law besides, she just responded with " WHATS YOUR PROBLEM"....... we told her one jump at our little dogs and they would be dead...... She said, oh my dog wouldn't kill your dogs. We tried to explain that its not intentional that all dogs like to play, but her "Pup" was already too large to be even near our dogs let alone running loose in the neighborhood. We live on a dead end street with almost an acre or land, there is plenty of space between our houses, besides the stockade fence they put up a few years ago.
These are the same neighbors that had chickens running around this summer that the rooster attacked me and another neighbors wife. So that was another problem that they created and had to fence in their chickens.
I think its a loosing battle now. We just keep our babies inside and exercise them there, I guess its time for a " Puppy Treadmill ".....anybody know where I can get one?
The way the world is now, it isn't getting any safer for humans, lets protect these little babies as long as we can anyways. |
