Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)
The neighbor's dog keeps breaking into our yard. Which wouldn't be a super annoying problem, but it is very large and sometimes aggressive. I think it is becoming protective of our yard, but not our family. Becoming a big problem, because every time we find and fix the spot where the dog gets in, it makes another one. It is a really strong dog, and they have another equally strong dog that might join it, most definitely in any sort of violent attack. I know the neighbor has reinforced the fence on his side, we have reinforced on our side, the dog is just very strong and determined. I also worry because there are access points for utility workers back there. They are supposed to let us know before they go back there because they used to let our dog out, but they don't always seem bothered to do that. Our dog was goofy and wanted to play with them, so I think they may not realize that this is a different dog, different story.
To be fair, I don't think that the dog has ever attacked anyone. But it will randomly act aggressive when we are in our yard and it is still in its own. My dog was afraid to go outside in the last few months of his life, even though I think the neighbor dog hadn't broken in yet. Often times it is sweet as pie. I don't think either neighbor dog is a "bad dog". Also, I am a big dog person. I grew up with large breed, protective dogs. My last, beloved, dog was large. In fact, I would consider adopting a puppy of this breed under the right circumstances. I feel very confident in my reading of the dog's behavior. I don't go into my back yard if I think this dog is out there.
Money is tight, but I fear we are going to need to put up some sort of super strong fence.
