What do you think about this FB post?
 

One of my neighbors posted this tonight. She has a very antagonistic relationship with the neighborhood since she was asked to leave the HOA board. While I agree that no one should be allowing their dog to run loose, this post just struck me as odd. What do you think?

"We have adopted a new little 8 month old lab mix puppy. Will be installing an Invisible Fence for her. She is well-trained, but if a child OR another dog comes onto our property, we will not be responsible for her actions. Please tell your children NOT to come into the yard without letting me know first, and, for those of you on our street who insist on not keeping your dog('s) leashed or contained, we will NOT be responsible if he/she comes onto our property to do his/her business."

Odd is an understatement regarding her announcement. What exactly does she mean by her last sentence? There is quite a bit of undertone regarding children and neighborhood dogs.

Not knowing any background story, it just seems like she's giving a warning in case anything does happen? Sort of like hanging up the "beware of dog" sign in front your home. If she was asked to leave the board, maybe she's feeling she shouldn't put up with everything she was trying to regulate? (If that makes sense)

OR! She's become a grouch person b/c she's not on the board anymore and wants to make sure everyone knows how unhappy she is! :/

She's made other threatening posts before this one. Plus a lot of ugly, racist comments. I'm not sure whether she is certifiable or whether there is a more liquid explanation.

I'm going to use that one! :p

invisible fences are good for keeping your dog in your yard only, does nothing to keep dogs or children out. She will have many law suits on her hands.It's crazy to make statements like that. She would never win in court, and why take a chance in your dog getting harmed, or to have an innocent child get harmed. Invisible fences should be outlawed in communities and developments.

I will say this though and maybe you will understand just like you perceive what my intent is when I said I didnt believe it I can also percieve what the op of that thread was and not believe them. Its no different its perception from 2 sides. If you have been on here long enough you can perceive if someones not telling the truth the same as someone else could perceive if someone is being rude no difference both are looking at someones intent

Sorry Im mixed up on my threads lol

lol, I was just gonna reply "what the heck are you talking about" to funny. Well my "intent" is to enjoy my day today. I hope this is "perceived" in a positive way.

Ummm yea I read that as this woman is a nutjob and I would keep my children and pets away from her!!!

:p I read her comment 3 times and was thinking HUH I am lost..... am I just that slow today that I am not understanding what she is trying to say :p

LOL. Threads do have a way of bleeding over in to each other, don't they?

That's all fine and dandy, but a facebook post doesn't remove your liability to control your animal/s/. That sounds like one of those hoax copy and paste facebook legal self protection statuses.

If she's so concerned and her dog is really so menacing on it's own turf, she should put up a regular fence.

I love the folks in my HOA, we are really lucky to all get along so well. We have a really nice facebook group where we all share goings on and I couldn't imagine if someone posted that nonsense the mockery that would ensue.

I agree with, she can post on Facebook all she wants but liability is a whole other story and that lady does not have a leg to stand on.

You can only hope that she confuses the collar for the invisible fence and places it on herself instead of the dog.

OMG. That made me laugh!!!

warning laugh alert. I spit my coffee out. THanks for the chuckle.

LOL! Too funny!

Ha! I love it. My next door neighbor just posted back to her that he was taking screen shots of all her posts so that the DA would have plenty of evidence against her when she finally snaps.

I probably shouldn't be laughing about that, but I just found it hilarious.

I'm not sure about the leash laws where you live but where I live all dogs must be on a leash. The invisible fence would not be a good defense for her here. She sounds like she's got a chip on her shoulder regarding the HOA. If your city/county has a leash law I would send it to her. I see the signs all the time in my neighborhood about the invisible fence but I never see any dogs in the front yard.

It sounds like to me that either the dog is already aggressive, has aggressive tendencies or they have every intention on training the dog to be that way. Very sad... but she does give fair warning. I hope she post warning signs in her hard/.

Enforcement of Proper Confinement Law.

The law states that "No owner, keeper, or harborer of a dangerous or vicious dog shall fail to do either of the following:
1. While that dog is on the premises of the owner, keeper, or harborer, securely confine it at all times in a locked pen which has a top, except that a dangerous dog may, in the alternative, be tied with a leash or tether so that the dog is adequately restrained;
2. While that dog is off the premises of the owner, keeper, or harborer, keep it on a chain-link leash or tether that is not more than six feet in length and additionally do at least one of the following: (a) keep that dog in a locked pen which has a top, locked fenced yard, or other locked enclosure which has a top; (b) have the leash or tether controlled by a person who is of suitable age and discretion or securely attach, tie, or affix the leash or tether to the ground or a stationary object or fixture so that the dog is adequately restrained and station such a person in close proximity to that dog so as to prevent it from causing injury to any person; (c) muzzle the dog." (Ohio Revised Code Section 955.22(D))
The law also requires that any owner of a vicious dog purchase liability insurance no less than $100,000 because of damage or bodily injury to or death of a person caused by the vicious dog. (Ohio Revised Code Section 955.22(E))

:lol tears Ooooops :confused:

And when she does you are holding the control to give her a couple of good zaps! :p

dog
 

Weird, If a child comes onto their property and their dog bites the child they are liable no matter where the kid is. If someone gets hurt on your property aren't you liable? Yes. They better reconsider. If a child comes on my property I would hold that child away from my Yorkies and protect her. How inconsiderate and selfish. Of course my Yorkies would not be running around getting zapped by an electric fence! Not true dog lovers.

Hope her homeowner's insurance is up to date and her electricity is on… because it's obvious that no one in her family is an attorney (unless of course they've already disowned her ;) )
