Dog Blog
Dog is our best friend.

The other day, the outside dog got loose and my bf caught him and tried to tether him back to the broken chain. He noticed the dogs ears are bloody (we have a huge mosquito problem from being at the edge of a swampy woodland), and eye boogers galore. He was very very needy for attention, and my bf felt so bad.

We hardly see our neighbor, and I don’t want to have to call the humane society and cause a ruckus. So how can I tell her she needs to tend to her dog without causing a major offense? Should I volunteer to spend some time with the poor dog, or would that be too pushy?

I live in a very small rural community and in fact our road there is about 7 nice trailers and only two fenced yards (ours and our neighbors) I have two dogs and take the best care of them and in fact just adopted a pup from one of the local neighbors.

The thing is this neighbors dog breaks off of her chain all the time (I **** chaining) and he is never home and she always comes to my fence and neighbors and bothers the dogs…she is a menacing dog to the point of aggressive towards other dogs. I saw her running free with other dogs following and I am sure she is in heat and is gonna have another batch of pups. The owner is NEVER home, she is not spayed and it is getting to be a nuisance and threatening to the other dogs as she brings dogs from across the street that I do not know.

The local humane society cannot do anything and animal control seems unfair to her….they would end up putting her down.

I dunno what to do this owner is so irresponsible ugh!!
Sorry I forgot to add I have tried to get her to come to me, however, she is very wary she just barks and runs back a few dozen feet and watches me. I feel so bad for her.

It scares me that they fight about once every 8-10 days where my husband and I have to break them up. We have thrown out all toys that have caused fights and only allow them to have toys when they aren’t near each other.

2 fights have broken out when no toy was in the vicinity…just the two dogs and us.

They are serious fights, but no blood and no clamping onto each other where we can’t pull them apart. The only injury was the first fight when within the first week….a scrape on Stella’s ear—no stiches.

It is scary and we are unfortunately thinking of bringing Stella back because we just got her 2 months ago. They are both in training with us…we don’t know what else we can do!!!!! An animal behaviorist quoted us $400 for a 3 hour session. We can’t afford that right now, but can’t bear to bring her back to that awful shelter.

Please help!
