Am i a bitch?
 

Sharni,

You did. The dog sounds to be uncontrolled. If it isn't controlled soon, it will end up having to be put down. :(

I don't think you are a bitch at all. Pet owners have a big responsiblity and if they don't take it seriously then they need a strong reminder to do so.

Sounds like you are doing just what you should ... and that the young owner is the one out of control ... you are simply being a good mom and neighbor to everyone in the area - sometimes you just want to slap brats around ... don't ya! It's not the dog's fault, but he'll be the one that will have to suffer if he's not taught to behave better.

Good on ya! :D

sounds to me like any time your child is threatened by an animal you not only have the right to do something about it, but the duty. If you neglected your child's safety, you would be negligent as a parent.

It is not your fault they have a bad dog, and you have more than a right to protect yourself, your child, and your property.

The fact you feel guilty about it proves you are no way a bitch...a bitch would do it out of spite without remorse, while you do it with good reasons while feeling bad for it. :-)

I know how this goes. Either you don't call and feel like shit, or you DO call and feel like shit... at least that's the way it works for me.

When it comes to my kids, you'd best not fuck with them. I can't imagine feeling that my family was endangered and not doing something about it. What if that dog gets to the toddler down the street and severely disfigures it?

Yes, you did the right thing. If the neighbor is pissed, so be it.

(since "assertive female" apparently equals bitch, I guess you're a bitch... *sigh*)

YES! :mad:











rofl :D

i agree with everyone... when you adopt a pet, you do have a responsibility to control it and have it well trained... although some dogs just dont get it... i know that my aunt and uncle had to put down theyre dog theyve had for about 15 years and got a puppy shortly after and that dog makes everyone want to kill the damn thing... even now, 2 years later...

that dog really is a pain in the ass....

anyways, basically, yea i agree that you did the right thing and youre not a bitch. well i dont know, maybe you are, i dont know you... but no THAT situation doesnt make you a bitch :-D lol

yes you are a bitch










































But not for making that call it sounds like the dog needs to be taken away before the owner realy mess it up.

^ Not touching this one with a ten-foot pole...or even a nine foot hungarian

Sharni, taking early action is in the best interests of you, your kids, the neighbours, the dog itself, and the dog's owners. Think of it this way....a lesser person may have sued them for the damage the dog did to your child. You're saving them from future court cases.


Well done you.

I cannot believe the lot of you!

Yes, it is an act of complete bitchness to do such a thing to a naive but playfully rambunctious

meat grinder . . . . errr dog.

So what if it kills a few cats and chews the heads off a kid or two? It's the bond of friendship

betwen a boy and his dog that matters.

Shame, Sharni, Shame.































Are you sure you can't get council to keep the dog and euthanase the owner?

ROTFLMFAO @ Oldfart!
