Misha ATTACKS! Damn neighbors!

Well my pretty little female Akita decided to get rough again today.

Turns out that the neighbors mean little dog (I'm thinking it is a Chiwawa?) got into our FENCED yard. Yes, into our ENCLOSED FENCED yard. We refer to it as the dog yard, and Misha pretty much believes that it is HER yard and everything in it is fair game. I honestly can't say I blame her.

So here is the story. The fence is a decorative wrought iron fence with vertical posts spaced about 3.5" apart. The little dog apparently slipped through the vertical bars of the fence.

My wife lets Misha into the yard and she immediately knows something is wrong. Misha goes into attack mode and is growling and charging out the door right from the get go. Misha is on the little dog before my wife gets onto the porch to see what is happening.

The little dog breaks free and runs toward my wife, turns toward the fence and then bounces off the fence. Misha has it in her mouth again and my wife is running toward her to pull her off the little mut. Misha lets go and the dog goes running toward the far end of the yard 120+' away. Misha is on it again, shaking it. My wife gets her to stop and the little dog hits the fence in a full sprint, this time it makes it through the fence.

So now I have a wife who fortunately didn't shoot the little shit of a dog. I have a dog who is looking out the window for her chew toy. And I have an obscenely expenisve decorative fence that now has a barrier of chicken wire zip tied to it to keep the little chiwawa dog out. Oh, and the neighbors have a bloody dog that is damn lucky to be alive.

These are the same neighors who had 2 labs that kept visiting my house, front porch, and pool until I went over there and threatened to call the police on them. So now they have a 3rd dog that is a pain in the ass. I am inconvenienced, my fence looks like crap, and my neighbors think I am an ass because they can't control their damn dogs.

Why do neighbors have to be idiots?
 
Too bad you didn't let Misha finish it off, and then throw it in the trash.

Lots of coyotes around these days to blame it on.
 
I was driving home at the time, I was actually on the phone with my daughter at the time all this was going on and she was watching through the patio door. I got home just a few moments after the event. Had I been home I probably would have shot the damn thing. Its probably a good thing I was not home.

As for Misha killing it, I probably would have let that happen too.
 
Bob,
I am sending you a 6 pack of Dr.Pepper with some special sauce :drink: . Practice your deep beathing exercises until it gets there !:fart2: Stay calm !!!
 
I wonder if I should have posted this in another forum.

Really this thread should be about BAD NEIGHBORS not about my nice little dog who just happens to spit out Mexican food (a Chiwawa is a Mexican dog right?)

I don't know what a Chiwawa is, but the correct spelling of the dog breed is "Chihuahua". Either way you want to spell it, they are pesky little dogs that think that they are much bigger and stronger than they really are. I strongly suggest that you make a police report of the incident so if they decide that their dog was harmed, you will have a record of the issue on file. You know these people are problems, so better to get the upper hand before they make the complaint that your dog was running wild or some such false accusation..
 
Junk, good point. Good spelling too.

But in this case the neighbors don't even know the event happened on my property. I have not confronted them about this event. All they know is that their little beast is bloody and bruised. It ran its little taco flavored rear end home all by itself. You can't see their house from mine, heck they are on the other side of a creek across the small valley to my north. The event happened on the south side of my house, probably 850+ feet away from their house, they are on the opposite ridge line across from the ridge where my house sits. Honestly, I think this is their dog, I'm about 90% sure of it, but not totally positive.

Dave.... you are just soooooooooo crude, that I won't dignify this comment with another comment...... :whistle: :D

For all the rest of the members, almost everyone knows that "Chihuahua" is a Mexican Beer Brand......:yum: :yum: :yum:
 
I wouldn't of put chicken wire up, you're a better man than myself. You have a fence up, I'm assuming this fence will keep your dog on your property, and it was a dog that came onto YOUR property.

Assuming the best of the neighbors, the dog accidently got out of thier sight, wondered off, and they were worried were it could be.

Anyway you look at it, it was not your fault, nor do I think you should have to take "actions" to prevent this from happening again (I would think that this small dog could "associate" that going through your fence means a butt kicking).
 
I agree with DZ. You sure do not have to put up chicken wire.
I'd wager the little shit will not return to your fenced in dog area chicken wire or not. :D
 
The chicken wire is there to protect me from the lovely Mrs_B!

She was mighty upset when all this took place. If a gun would have been within her grasp I'm thinking that there would be one little Mexican Dog that looked like Swiss Cheese. And that would leave me with a mess to clean up.

These neighbors are not quite the neighbors from hell. But they are as close as I hope to ever get to having bad neighbors. The little dog has been over a few times before, but never INSIDE my fenced yard. It baffles me that it comes to my property. To get to me it has to walk a long way, down a hill, up another hill, etc. But to get to some of the other neighbors it just has to walk across mowed lawn.

At this point I'm sure they don't know it has even come onto my property, and that is a problem of its own because I always know where my dogs are! I consider it part of being a responsible dog owner. I suspect that the dog goes out when the kids are out and the kids just don't watch the dog so it goes off to the woods to explore?
 
Next time you need to tag the crap out of the dog with some flourescent paint. Use a paintball gun and coat the little burrito. ;)

Thats exactly what my neighbors do. They have a GSD and two little yappy dogs. The sheriff convinced them to keep the GSD penned, but the two yaps will chase my truck down my driveway. They have a path through their side yard where they head me off sometimes; I've had to swerve to keep from hitting them; but I'm tiring of that and the sheriff says I should splatter them. I'm thinking seriously about it. :drive2:
 
Dargo, sure is, spit roast is nice, with a nice bit of oil. Stick one skewer in its mouth, one up its ass, and whop it over the fire!
DROOL......:D :flame2:
:nopics:

Its a damn shame that people can't figure out that some of what they do on THEIR property spills over onto OTHER people's property and affects other people.

I suppose in my case, it is simple ignorance. Those neighors can't see me, and I can't see them, so they probably have no clue that their dog ever comes to my property. In your case, your neighbor is obviously aware that his dogs are coming onto your property because the sheriff has been involved.

But the whole issue of idiot neighbors goes beyond dogs too. I'm fortunate that for the most part my neighbors do not do anything that is overtly offensive. I've heard all sorts of horror stories about neighbors who assume that they can use the property of other folks.
 
In my neighborhood, a dog like that is prime pickens for a bald eagle. I had heard rumors of things like that happening but thought that bald eagles only eat fish. Wrong!

Hey, why don't you send that chi-wa-wa out here- I will tie some helium balloons to its hind legs and watch the eagles pick it off out of the sky?

The lovely Mrs_B has a little yappy Maltese and we won't leave him out in the yard if Misha is not out there too . . . we don't have bald eagles but we do have some big hawks and there is a really HUGE owl that scares the crap out of me that hangs around!

We got some of those owls too. I think they ate a couple of our cats a while back. :eek: The head on these guys looks the size of a human head and an incredible wingspan. Awesome birds.

YUP that is the type. I think its a Great Horned Owl? Big impressive amazing birds.
 
I used to volunteer at a local wildlife rehabilitation center where I cared for owls, hawks, and eagles, among other birds. One of my duties was to get the birds ready for release by flying them in a large open space while attached to a tether. The pics below are of a baby Great Horned Owl and a Red Tailed Hawk (note my fireplace gloves used to grasp its tallons).

AKA Valdez dog catcher (elderly couple who had a pet poodle loose around their RV was "taken away" by a bald eagle).

Your Right !!! I have seen Harpy's Eagles in Panama carring off puppies that wandered to far from their mama . To look up in the sky and see a puppy yelping and being carried off by a bird is not something you soon forget .
