i really do. no one cares ,and no one returns the favor... a tenant in my building adopted a pit bull yesterday. they are not allowed in our complex anymore... supposedly the shelter called the office (which the office is closed on saturdays) and the kid was told he could have the dog. a 19 year old kid with 2 kids under 2 with a dog that weighs more then him soaking wet.... a dog that looks more like an american bulldog mix then a pit bull mix, i met the dog today, saw the dog yesterday from the window, then today had the pleasure of meeting the dog when i took my 2 out for a walk, kid was walking the dog behind the building here while i was on the patio with my 2 .. kids new dog pulled him to us, he kept saying his dog was friendly, i kept telling him mine were not.... after i saw how he couldnt handle this new dog i took mine for a walk stewing the whole way.. figured i would talk to him when i got back. got 2 new collars (martingales) that were for my dogs, and a good strong leash (one of rufus's) and walked to the other side of the apt building. rang their bell, and went inside for a discussion. told the kid nicely that i saw he couldnt control his dog, and that on a harness she pulled like a freight train, he agreed. told him i was giving him 2 collars and a stronger leash for him , put the one collar on was it fit (she has a huge wide american bulldoggy type body style) and he and his girlfriend were very appreciative. i explained the rules of the complex here, what they had to follow, since i highly doubt they got approval from the closed office yesterday... told the kid what dogs to look out for, and to stop telling everyone his new dog is friendly... told him that will get the dog taken away or killed, as alot of dogs here are not friendly and the loose ones have attacked the leashed ones and the office does nothing because the ACO told them its "common ground" and that the office isnt responsible if a dog kills or hurts another dog.... go figure, the aco here i wont get into but he is beyond a moron and idiot. he adopted this female dog intact to a kid who told me he is going to breed her.... i kept my cool with that remark surprisingly, then tried to educate him on shelter and dead dogs .... we will see..... so i offered some basic training to him and his girlfriend, since the dog pulls like a freight train and this is not good... the only reason i am doing this is to protect my dogs and my sanity..
i plan to talk to the office tomorrow about the situation anyway..
