| Paintballs! I keep finding paintballs in the backyard I don't know where they're coming from but the other day I heard a noise that I thought was a nail gun but now I know it was a paintball gun. I googled it and they are toxic to dogs. I'm so annoyed, why would someone be shooting that around houses anyway! |

| I would call the Police & report it as I'm sure you are not the only one with paintballs your yard & since it is illegal, they will/should investigate where they are coming from. |

| That's a good idea. I also saved the paintballs I found just in case. |

| I would report it, too. I would hate if Joel or Roscoe ate one. That reminds me; We had a friend that used to keep a paintball gun on their boat and when someone would wake us (go by really fast in a no wake zone & cause all the boats to rock and bang together-very dangerous) multiple times after being told to stop (we would have 5 or even 10 boats tied up together), they would lay a line of paint down the side of the offending boat. That usually scared the poop outta them, at least untill they got pissed off, but they would stop.

| Yes, it's better to report it. That is awful! Why would someone do that knowing you have dogs?! Let us know how it ends up and good luck

| Yeah, I would do something right away. Do you know what direction they are shooting from? I guess they could travel quite a distance but they should never shoot onto private property. They could hurt someone or do damage to your home by getting paint on things. Hurting someone or some dog would be even worse. |

| I called and they're going to check it out. I know mostly where it's coming from, there's a lot of kids in that area and the parents don't watch them. |

| That would upset me as well. I mean what if you were in the yard with a child and your dogs and they hit you... Some people just don't use their head.

| I guess getting your own and shoot back toward them would be wrong lol so yeah I agree coming the police would be your best bet. You also probably want to check the yard before you let any doggies outside off leash.

| My middle son plays semipro paintball. He would practise in a separate part of the yard,where the dogs never go and had to pick up EACH and every piece. Sounds like whoever is practising,isnt very good and needs to take it to a paintball field. If you think that it would do any good,you might ask the parents of the child/teen to take them to a field. You might also tell them that it is illegal to shoot these things in the city limits if not on a field. |
