My dog got out of jail today!

[cferb]

Sorry about your dog :( all this dogs are evil shit seems to be fairly recent, I was been bit by at least 3 dogs as a kid, that's just what dogs do when you provoke them, it's still an animal, you can't talk sense into a dog, it has instincts. My old dog used to get in fights with other dogs too, she never started it, but for some reason other dogs didn't like her much. I don't even see what the big deal is, if they're close and they fight, that's no one's but the owners(BOTH of them) fault for letting it happen, don't fuck with the dog. And if a dog bites a person, it's usually not even a serious injury, just the equivalent of a small cut.

Sure if a loose dog hurts someone or something, I could see a possibility for some sort of punishment, but if a competent person can punch another person in the face with no real consequences, how can we punish and sometimes kill animals for doing what their instincts tell them too?

well the problem with pet owners is the same with parents, a lot of them suck, and then the problem is only amplified when you surround a sucky pet owner or parent with a pretentious assbag who has neither, but thinks they can help by calling some government sanctioned division to come take care of everything. People should take care of their own business, and not be dumb. Who calls the cops on a barking dog, seriously. Part of living in a neighborhood. I highly doubt they do anything but piss and moan when a car alarm goes off all night, even thought hat could actually be someone breaking into a car.

I understand what you're saying, but my neighbors have 4(maybe 5 now?) black labs that they neglect entirely, they feed them, and then leave them in the back yard. the dogs bark at any noise or any movement, the wind, a squirrel, kids walking silently on the sidewalk, basically this amounts to constant barking from early morning to late night, with some thrown in in the middle of the night too. The owners do absolutely nothing to keep them from barking so much. It's annoying as fuck, and they're right next door, its hard to sleep sometimes because of it. People have talked to them and they still won't do anything. I've thought of calling something on them cops or whatever applies, but I don't live there anymore so it's not my problem.

Man, just finished the thread. Sorry to hear that she's leaving you.

If I would have been you in the first circumstance, my foot would have been hitting the back of the head of that ladies dog. Any loose dogs start shit with mine, and it's done.

true and I am a hot tempered type of guy but all I wanted to do was preserve the atmosphere. This was/is one of the places where myself and my dogs (forgive the grammar; I'm not going to place my dogs before me for the sake of grammar) alike went to relax. My frustration is the ignorance of certain peoples. I let my dogs off the leash but every few seconds, or at any sign of them wondering too much, I call them back to me. All this while fairly scanning for others.

I had no idea that the end result was possible.

It seems alot of people here live outside the city. Dallas is huge. I live in the city so all I can do is look/find those parks that are tucked away.

damn, I really appreciate that! The lady is taking it really hard. She went to sleep on purpose... She's the one that brought her into the house. China was her bro's dog and for whatever reasons he needed us to keep her for a while. Needless to say, she became part of the family but... all that other shit that's been mentioned. I'm sure she will enjoy Mexico. She'll be running around way more often, will be eating leftover fajita meat, and getting laid, although we sent instructions to not get her preggers until a little later on in life... if not at all.

I miss her bad already. I'm just happy that she won't be going to the "ignored backyard by-herself" type of life.

How much do dogs remember? What's their memory like? I know they dream (she did alot). I'm sure she will adapt. I know I might sound pretty animal-emo but damn!

EDIT: random fact, Ernest Hemingway called animal-lovers/activists animalarians. (recently finished a paper on him)

So sorry man. I can't imagine life without The Dude. That said, at least she's in good hands. If you need to move her and you think she would get along with The Dude, PM me. He's a 9yr old Staffy who sleeps constantly.

[Maluco]

we've had her since she was young... We probably could have had her interact with other dogs more often but we did somewhat. She was very people-friendly but animal aggressive. She had been with Garota since she was young but Garota had already been with us for a year or so. Their fights were just a matter of two bitches living in the same apartment. Territorial type of bullshit. It never went away and these fights were really bad.

We had no choice. As a matter of fact, this should have been done a while ago but everything has its time. She will now be with family and in a country that doesn't profile dog breeds.

I will, I am missing her though. The lady is depressed. She had to drive her to her cousin's alone as I was in class.

Sad to see her go. I remember this thread first time around, sad situation and all, sounds like she's a fun dog. Not saying that sarcasticly BTW. Atleast you will be able to know she's in good shape and taken care of.

[abepark]

just to ask whats the history of the dog? Did you raise it or did you find him/her at a pound? Just as humans adapt to their surroundings, dogs do too. Just because the breed is a pitbull doesn't mean its born with an instinct to fight, its something that is taught or the actions of the dog are not put in line and taught a lesson. I'm not talking about beating the dog or anything like that, just trained in a manner it will learn.

on the other side I guess some dogs are more agreeable and social then others, and if the dog is not social its just exponential that dog will not get along with other dogs because it can't get the opportunity because every time it starts fights you take it away from the interaction with the dog.

When my dogs pass away I'm am so heart broken and think I won't get another like him/her. I know you will keep him/her in memory and things will work out. cute dogs BTW

[Justin B]

Thats too bad man, at least shes going to someone you know and keep in contact with. :(

[Maluco]

it's a sad day...

Well, I'm sad and somewhat regretfull to say China is no longer with us. After multiple issues we've decided to give her away. We've had problems at apts due to her breed and most importantly, she and Garota get into bad fights. China, due to her thin coat, was already looking as if I fought her. The good news is she is moving to Mexico, to my lady's mother's house. I imagine she will have a good time there and we will be able to know how she is doing on the regular.

I'm still sad though. Many things come to mind, the goofy shit she would do, the way she would stare at me, the way she would cuddle up to me. Fk, I'm going to cry.

China on the left, Garota on the right.

[der affe]

just level the playing field and call the authorities (cops/park rangers/ rabies control etc) every time there is someone walking a dog in the park with out a leash. i see it all the time in the park by my house. it really pisses me off too. luckily my rotti doesn't have an issue with other peoples dogs and he is always on a leash. there is almost always city of Scottsdale park rangers in the park, i just tell them and they go tell the people to put their dog on a leash or leave.

[Maluco]

lol... That lady was acting as if I had one of those all the while disobeying a law that would protect her dog. Stupid waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles.

Sign says leash all dogs, not leash pitbulls, leash un-trained dogs. She had no arguement with me.

Why do some people feel that all dogs have to be animal/human loving cuddling stuffed fkng animals? Did I miss something? Is that a law? Is that the measure by which you can tell if someone is civil? GTFOH! They're my bitches bitch and they don't fuck around. You have to earn their respect.

No really, they are cool. China, just doesn't really dig other animals at first or at all or some shit.

That statement reminds me of the guys like this.

At least China didn't go back to jail. It could have been MUCH worse.
