Quote: Yeah - the day of his incident report would be critical in Blue's defense. That sheriff I spoke with was in AC for 5 1/2 years, and she said pretty much the same thing.

I think I WILL put the lock back on the gate. I have spoken w/the guy's supervisor, and will call ahead to find out exactly what day/time to expect this yahoo. I don't understand why someone who hates or is afraid of dogs would take on a job that requires him/her to face dogs in people's yards...

Quote: We used to have a lock on that gate, but our volunteer fire dep't chief said it would prevent them from access in case of a fire...but then, I know they carry bolt cutters...

Quote: That's why I ws considering putting treats in a water-proof bag or whatever so the reader could use as needed. If they're treats I supply, I wouldn't be worried. Just spoke with a sheriff/animal control friend of mine... Questions include: Did your DD see the bite mark? Where was it...

Quote: We had a gas meter woman that would throw a handful of milkbones onto the ground when she came in, and speak in a friendly voice. The dogs LOVED seeing her (she could've robbed us w/no problem!).

Quote: Sorry, but may not be the appropriate response, but....

Quote: Easier said than done. Our yard's layout is too convoluted to easily divide. House is in the middle, mother-in-law unit, pole barn, coops - there's no straight shot - and 74 yr old Mom needs to be able to easily navigate (don't want to block paths and divert her into the mud). If we...

Quote: That really sucks. I'm sorry. Was it because of the poison /

Our old blue heeler/beagle/pit(?) mix just bit the water meter reader and "drew blood" . We've had him on this property for 11 years. The guy said Blue bit him (no blood) last month, but didn't tell us about it. My 18 yr old DD was the only one home at the time during her lunch break. She...
