I retired 10 years ago to take of elderly parents. Dad died peacefully last year and Mom is still kicking.
After spending the afternoon in the eye doc's office with Mom, came home and, after settling her down, went for the mail.
New neighbor has a Pit-Bull and today this dog was loose. As I went to the mail box, the dog ran over to the middle of the street (perhaps 15 feet away) and bared his teeth.
His owners were in the yard but did not call the dog. At the same time a UPS truck stop in front of their house, but the driver refused to get out of his truck.
Question is "what steps do I take as a good citizen?"
The next door neighbors inherited the house from the girl's grandmother. The girl's husband is a born again Christian...but he was previously in prison for drugs.
Pit Bull is young but large and aggressive.
Freeper opinions appreciated.
BTW, I have cats who lounge around in the front yard. If this dog kills my cats...I am apt to become upset. And an upset Freeper (armed to the teeth) is not a nice thing to behold.
Loose dogs of any type/breed are unacceptable.
I wish you success in your approach to the problem.
I also hope you gain freedom from your hyperbolic notion
that “pit bulls” are ‘domesticated great white sharks’.
It makes you appear silly and incapable of serious discussion.
So much an email.. I don’t know about playing cowboy, but I’ll be in San Antonio 19 & 20th... You near there?
The funny thing is that owners of pit bulls often are blind to the danger they present. They honestly do mean well...but are just blind.
Please let us know the exact words you exchanged with the dog’s owners when you discussed this problem with them.
Is reading really that hard for you?

Regarding your #375 , that would be a question you should ask yourself.
You know, drinking into the night and then jumping on a thread to post is not a good idea around here.
Post# 375 is actually your post 'lil feller.

Good advice n00bie so don't do it.
Actually, I want to correct that statement.
Sometimes the drinking and posting thing can be pretty funny. However, if you get drunk and just want to beat your chest and show your teeth, well, it gets old real quick.
That’s the argument in a nutshell.
Your #385 to my #375.
Read #375. It’s a solution to a problem.
Driftdiver summed it up well. “Its depressing but less so than a mauled child.”
No eaker, you’re the person who insults peoples wives by saying they fornicate with dogs.
So themom how would you like it if someone said that about you? Are you where he gets that idea from?
There are places for drunks to get help.
Look into it.
Many are gay friendly so you should be okay.
My neighbors said, "we have to live here...and so do you. Please don't create problems."
Just to clarify, I don't have a problem confronting people...in fact, my confronting folks aggressively might be a problem (perhaps a little pit bull-like myself).
Is that exact enough for you? Or do you want more clarification?
Clearly I meant FIGHT not FORNICATE. You made the picture in your little mind. Does your wife know of your fantasies?
You are a weird little man. Is your wife on board with this?
Maybe on the planet Stupider
I don't know if you are a bad guy...but you are giving this thread a bad odour.
Cut the crap and go away.
Your ego smells like ancient armpit.
I don't know you (oh yes...accuse me of being a Noobie as you have done to so many before) but you might not be a bad guy...
Will you settle down and behave like a civilized animal...or will you just pretend to be a tough pit bull?
Long story short dude...grow up and quit embarrassing Freepers. We need unity...not your whining.
Cut the crap and act like a gentleman.
And what happens if you don't?
Everyone will see that you insist on being an insecure little man.
