No only one lives near me and he has to work it would be a 70 mile commute to work if he did. One left to go in the Air Force, one moved to Dallas, the other is in the Air Force and is always flying with short notice.No you were putting antifreeze out to kill bugs or bunnies or whatever on your property. If his untrained, uncontrolled, unrestrained, unsupervised dog comes onto your property . . . . too bad for the dog. At least that how I see it. You're alone till next Wednesday? Can one of your sons stay with you until then?
Yes, I'm documenting now with pictures, and stuff. I was gone less then one minute! My shoes were inside the house 20 steps away. I needed the shoes because I have a rock driveway (jagged rocks) and the wooded area. I always have him on a lead but this time he had to go bad, so after he pee'd I figure he can just go with me watching him. (big mistake). I blame myself.I'm sorry for you Terry. Talk to your Husband about maybe a 20 Gauge shot gun for home protection. Bird shot to deter, not enough for self defense though. My condolences. If that dog came after you or was growling at you on your property, make a complaint. Get everything on record that you can. Might want to consider keeping a pair of shoes by the door from now on. How long were you gone, to get shoes, do you remember? How long before you notified your Son?

He was killed by a yellow lab in my yard two days ago. Jake would have been 8 years old today. My baby, my best friend. No leash laws, so this dog and his owner gets away with it. The neighbor hasn't even come over to say he was sorry. His dogs still run the neighborhood, bullying everyone. Getting into garbage, eating road kill, going in fish pond and destroying it. This wasn't his first offense either, this killer killed his Bitch's puppies a few months back I learned. Why was I never told?
I'm in a lot of pain. Thanks, had to get it out of me.
I understand that but my dog was on my property and I'm sure you take care of your dogs and not just leave them unsupervised for 12 to 15 hours a day and then only give food. They are wild dogs!http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c271/Lera213/0819091640.jpg

I have two labs mixed with some mastiff. They are like big puppies, but they will destroy any animal they think is violating their territory. The owner of the yellow lab is such a jerk.

We own guns and I can use them, I don't want to use it when I'm emotional. I blame the owners of that dog more then the dog. The dog is wild because of the neglect. I see someone is home next door now which is very unusual!! I think it is the adult son and those are his dogs. He is 40 years old and lives with his father that is in his 60's. I want to go over there now and just tear into him but I cannot because I'm too emotional now. My neighbor will go over there tonight and he said if I want to go with him that is fine.
Right now how I feel? I want to wake up and this just be a bad dream. I don't want to relive it in court for what maybe $800.00? It does nothing. Like Val said they will just go buy another animal and do the same. I want him to put a high fence up if he is going to keep them, or spend more time at home training those dogs. I doubt the killer can be rehabilitated he is just too wild now. The female dark lab it is not to late but close because she use to be very friendly and happy all the time, but she is starting to show aggression too. I also have to live next to this neighbor for a long time too so I don't want to exacerbate the situation by killing his dog. There is no easy answer here...well there is one and that is for the owner to take responsibility and keep his dog behind a tall fence!IIRC, civil suits involving the death of a beloved pet end up with rewards for damages based on the monetary value of the animal typically. Typical dog owners know that their pet is priceless. If one can take such marginalization of their beloved dog to just their price, it would be a good idea to use civil court. Personally, I couldn't take that.
If there is some other civil action to pursue - harassment, etc. - I would look into that.
It's an emotional time. Take care of yourself, cry, get the emotional support of your loved ones, look out for your personal safety. When you feel ready to take it to the court, if you fell you want to go that route, be prepared for how it may make you feel, too.
Just some advice that is worth what you paid for it and that is nothing.
Because even technically he was in my yard it was what they call in between. He was taking a crap, I saw him, I saw the dog coming and even though that dog never showed aggression to my dog it has me. I ran inside to get shoes on. I came out and my dog was gone. I didn't know where he was. I started calling him, went over where he was...then I followed blood. My dog was lying dead on his side now, and the dog started after me because he was guarding his kill. I ran inside and called another neighbor who helped hold that dog at bay while I retrieved my dog. My word only that he was in my yard! I told them look at the blood trail, they said they would come out today, it has rained all fucking day!!!!!!!!!
DId your dogs run around uncontrollably and teasing the other party's dogs? There are always two sides to every story, eh?Set traps and get a gun to finish the fucker off, if you don't have the heart to garrotte him.
You'll get a fine if you get caught. Well worth it.
I've dealt with neighbors who let their dogs run. Generally, telling the owners you're setting traps and when the dog gets trapped, you're throwing it, living or dead, into their yard, takes care of the problem. Sorry your pup had to die first. I managed to intimidate my neighbors into controlling their dogs before they actually killed any of my livestock.
Though they did kill our sheep, bite a girl in the head, decimate a herd of sheep.
I think the asswipe who owned the dogs killed my Great Pyrenees...who never left my yard acreage. He got pissed off because my dog got him cornered when he was sneaking around my house, and that's the last time I saw my dog. Who wasn't even half grown.
Some years earlier the guy across the river had two bear dogs who would routinely cross the river while their owner laughed. The dogs each got one end of my cow dog and pulled, and nearly killed him, before I showed up and chased them off.
I loaded my dog, injured hideously in the neck and internally (he had a hernia that never went away, wheezed in the kitchen for a week, and was never the same) into the back of my pickup, drove to the neighbor's house, a rifle on the gun rack, and told him I was setting traps along the perimeter of our property, along the river, and if his dogs came anywhere near my goats or my dogs again and I was out there, they were getting shot. He said "But that's ILLEGAL! aND...W-w-well your little dog runs back and forth along the banks and ANTAGONIZES them."
I told him if my dog ever crossed the river he could shoot him.
His fucking dogs never crossed the river again.
NO, my dogs are usually always on a lease and when we see those dogs we bring them in. That was what I was doing!DId your dogs run around uncontrollably and teasing the other party's dogs?

I live rural area, about 6 miles to route 17. I'm close to the river, farm land in front of me and not city type living most here own a least one acre of land. I have two acres, the guy next to me has only 3/4 of an acre.Usually on a leash? Where do you live..a city, a burb, the country?NO, my dogs are usually always on a lease and when we see those dogs we bring them in.

I am not criticizing you (so don't get defensive...yet). I am asking for clarification. I loved a dog once. I have a broken heart still.
