FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

[Ferguson K]

Everything was superficial. No major damage.

Thank God for Connie and Maddie. Thank God John was home and outside. Thank God it wasn't my nephews.

Vet sent her home with antibiotics and said watch the swelling but she should be ok to show Wednesday. I'm still debating on loading her up in the morning. She's moving fine and the stitches hide the holes....

Here are the before. I don't have any after.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Oh my gosh - so sorry! Hope Connie and Maddie sent those dogs packing! Is this the new neighbors???

 

[Ferguson K]

Yes.

They have chewed through my fence twice now. CHEWED.

Sure glad Lyra is going to be okay....stuff like that just so I'll just . 3 Strikes and there wouldn't be a 4th.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Ummmm..... that's a hard situation - BUT - I'd sure be presenting them with a vet bill! And, maybe a fencing bill too! Geeze - you do what you can to keep your critters safe and then ... well.... I better do what CntryBoy777 did and shush my mouth.

 

[TAH]

Sorry about Lyra but glad she okay!

 

[Baymule]

I am so relieved that Lyra is ok. It sure could have been much worse. Those dogs have to go. If your neighbors don't seem to be bothered by the fact that their dogs have invaded your fenced property twice now, maybe the best thing to do is remain quiet......and in a few weeks the dogs just disappear.......no, I haven't seen your dogs, I sure hope you find them.....

Are these the neighbors you've become friends with? Either way I'm sure if they are reasonable they'll feel awful and maybe volunteer to help with vet bills.... I hope so anyway, and you don't have to battle them. Poor girl, so glad she's ok.

I am very glad it was superficial and it happened when it did. However I am very upset for you! You warned them,you explained to them and you have told them over and over and yet they don't care.
I'd be in jail.
I expressed my concerns to our ever so oblivious neighbors last summer when they brought home a husky pup and left it chained in the back yard only to have it running at vehicles and lungeing at anyone who walked past by age of 4 months old and I very sternly explained if any of our animals were victims to that dog due to their negligence, I'd take care of the problem myself. I honestly don't know what happened to that puppy as not very long after it was gone.

 

[NH homesteader]

Ok... I was being too hopeful sounds like. In that case I vote for Bay's idea... Disappearing fence chewers.
