Hunting hasnt been fruitful yet. Those stupid spotlighting four-wheelers hunting on the club property next to the one we hunt is killing our chances but atleast they hopefully got caught when they were reported.
The day before yesterday my neighbors 4 yappy chi dogs heard me filling the rabbits water bottle in my backyard. They live two houses down across the street and came running over barking like always so I ran over to hopefully discourage any barking right Infront of the rabbits. I was surprised their owner was actually out there with them and told her how they always harrass me and my dog while he's trying to do his thing. (she's seen them do it to us and all the other neighbors but just stands there) She still wasn't making any effort to quiet them or shoo them or anything..So I told her if they came onto my property again like that I would shoot them with paintball gun (they are like 3lbs and stay outside so I think a BB gun might be more damage than on a bigger dog) she didn't say anything but right then her yappiest one who chases everyone bit my calf. Thankfully it was just a pinch bc I wore layers in the cold. But the surprise of it and pain (bc things hurt more when ur cold) made me hollar out, which my son heard and opened the door and let out my dog. Her face reminded me that she was afraid of big dogs (and honestly I think she's afraid of her lil ones to). Ace stood tail wagging and whining (like how puppies do when they want something) right beside me head under my hand so I grabbed his collar so she'd feel more secure. She finally started to back up and slightly bent to shoo her dogs. It aggravated her yappiest one and when it got close ace actually growled. She shooed them more and they left. All that barking ringing in my ears as I called county animal control to learn what I could lawfully do. And my threat was his first suggestion so not looking forward to that but atleast all day yesterday she had kept them inside. I dunno why she lets em run loose. They bark at ppls doors when they leave the heavy door open but glass one shut. Run in road and chase ppl who walk or walk their dogs. Everyone complains bout them. Atleast the man said "give them my number and tell them to talk to me if they have a problem with it" so I feel like someone would take up for me.
But all day yesterday and today my 7mo old has a 102 fever that he's fighting to keep down. He teething and miserable. My normally mellow quiet baby is grumpy and crying (or screaming out) every so often unless I can help him doze off. Hurts my heart to see. I just wish I could feel the teeth that the Dr says are coming in. All well as much as I over worry I'm sure I'd still worry even if I felt a tooth.
Atleast my rabbits are doing good. Their new cages are almost ready to move in, we just gotta finish their shelter this weekend if it'll not rain. (Telling myself not to complain bout rain at this point, it's just hard since it's throwing our attempts to set up their new shelter)

You are a better neighbor than me....because I would've told her if that dog bites me again I'd punt it like a Football and if they were caught back on my property they wouldn't Return...I wouldn't use a paintball gun either....if others won't take responsibility for their animals they don't need to have them....I threatened an aunt one time that had a poodle that did everything but bite me...she took the dog and left it at her daughters...

Well I was mostly was thinking I need to make sure I follow the law on this bc iv already got problems with another neighbors who live across from me cuz their kids come onto my property to shoot squirrels. The neighbors kids down the road come with them so it's 5 kids piled on a four-wheeler. I've already walked over verbily warning the dad since telling the kids hasn't worked all year. The day I came home from dropping off my dog for his heartworm treatment (had to leave him for a week over a hour away; so was already upset) I found two of them walking out from behind my house and that was their last straw. The law gets called after that. I should have done it when his kids were shooting bb rifle toward my front yard from theirs but I didnt. I just told them to stop. Their Mom don't listen to me at all and i was gonna go bug their dad about it when he got off work like I did last time but when he got home he caught them shooting towards the other neighbors pool and I saw alot of waving of arms and him pointing to my house, yanking of the rifle and shoo-in. And since they were setting up for cook out he went grabbed a beer. Poor dude works alot and has to put up with alot.

Well I think ya have gone above and beyond....next time it is time to call the Law and let them handle it cause obviously there isn't any 'Respect' being taught down the street...and if the parents have no Control, then anything you do will only escalate the 'Retaliation' factor and you certainly don't want that....faced a similar situation when I used to live in a neighborhood....the Sheriff deputies got their Attention finally....wish ya the best for sure!!
