Oh Granny, what an awful story. These people who have these fighting dogs without taking care of them, and letting them run wild in the neighborhood, are reprehensible. I’m so sorry. I hope they catch the other dog. Maybe the dog catcher lady can figure out how to trap or coax the kittens out so she can find homes for them.

A nice woman that I work with lives in a tough part of town. She said the mailman refused to bring mail to her because there was a pit bull loose, and the mailman was sure it was hers. She was on the phone for days trying to straighten it out. I was mad on her behalf. She finally got her mail. It was ridiculous.

We got our dog, a lab terrier mix, from the Humane Society. No one wanted her because she was undersized and very gentle. She’s really cute and smart. But she’d never do any good in a dogfight, so if we hadn’t rescued her, she’d have been put to sleep.

My mom says, “Sometimes I don’t like this old world any more.”

For years, I would visit the Humane Society and if a dog talked to me, and understood me, then that is the one I took home.

I have passed up several fantastic looking dogs with papers, for some dog that I thought would understand me.

Then people would ask how I got special dogs, that minded me and knew what I wanted.

In Kingman, they had a special small garden that you could have a chosen dog brought to you and be left alone.

Several dogs did not pass the test.

One of the best that I ever owned was a Husky/Shepherd cross....LOL, he guarded our house, while we were grown, by going outside the 2nd floor window and pacing the garage and porch roofs, so he could be sure nothing was going on.

The neighbors watched him for months, thought that was how we had trained him to act.

He knew that my daughter was one to get in trouble, so where she went, he did too and here was a 15 year old, who could not hide from her dog, LOL, all I had to do was let him out and he found her, no matter where she went.

She was not allowed to have boys in the house, if I was gone.

One night, I came home from work and there was a wet spot on the carpet, I had noticed it a couple times before, but never dreamed of how it got there, as King would not go in the house, even when locked in for over a day, he waited.

Turned out the boy that she had a crush on [mr. trouble], had come in and every time he sat on the couch with her, the dog pee’ed on his feet.

It still makes me laugh, all these years later...for he came to visit her a year after we moved to the next town and sure enough King got his feet again.

The Humane Society Officer, did get both dogs, LOL, she took them with her, the one who tried to get away, is the one she was cussing.

As soon as it starts getting a little daylight, I will be watching again to catch the babies, they are too small to trap.

I fear by now they are dead in the heat, as the cats have a den under the mobile, in a far corner, and there is no access to it.

Having watched these at work and seen the power they project, I would not want to deliver mail to them either.

It is easy to imagine them killing people and children.
