Cats and Gus.

[Bullyson]

A couple days ago while I was at work my old lady let my dogs out back to do their business. My Gus dog is flighty as hell. He broke my fence twice and ran off. Both times I was home and I went and got him. I told her 10000000 times, when I'm not home you have to sit out there with him until he's done and let him back in the house. It takes 3 minutes max...Well she doesnt listen to a damn thing I say EVER, so anyhow, he broke out. He caught two of the neighbors cats and they say one might not make it. He's in quarantine for the next 8days. :( Im sure he's scared to death. He doesnt have an HA bone in his body so I'm sure everything will be ok after I pay out the ass to get him back... Im going to have to put him on a chain while he's outside. I should have done that a long time ago but hind sight is 20/20. I also told Bri to keep him away from my gyp as she was in heat. So she thought it would be a good idea to let them outside together and go back in the house and leave them there. Of course not two minutes go by and theres a BYB bow chicca wow wow going on next to my pool...I think she does shit just to be spitefull and piss me off. Thats the only damn thing she's good at anyway...Now I've got to take Heidi to the vet and get that taken care of as well. Why don't you women listen to anyone? That shit confuses the hell outta me.:confused: Does anyone have any experience with AC and their fines? I went by there yesterday but they were closed until Wednesday. There were a couple hands cleaning out kennels but they couldnt tell me a damn thing. Any help? Thanks, DJ & Gus.

oh man sux to hear that, i feel what ur going through i got a couple hard headed people around me too, they think its coo just to let the dog off the chain or out the house and not have to look after him, and then they get mad at the dog when he runs away, f**kin morons is what they are, i keep telling them don't let him out without u being there but they don't listen so now i'm about ready to lock the dog to his chain until i get home because obviously others aren't responsible enough to care for him. Anyway end of my rant, hope everything works out and maybe ur girl needs a little Ike and Tina re-enactment to get here mind right LOLOL

[Bullyson]

LOL. Man oh man does she ever. Too bad I dont have it in me to do shit like that. I was raised by my Mother and thats it. Otherwise I'd be blacking someones eyes right about now.

As far as the fines go..They are probably going to go with some sort of faliure to leash fine(approx $65 depending on where you live)..Also watch for the owners of the cats (if they surface)to try and sue you..Ive seen it on the peoples court 100's of times..I would also be aware that your dog will probably come home with kennel cough as that sh*t runs rampant through many of the dog pounds..

[Bullyson]

Right on. The lady that owns the cats is actually really cool. After they took her cats to the vet, she was petting Gus and talking about what a sweet dog he was. They sat with him until AC got there...At least she understands that dogs have been chasing cats forever and it's not a breed specific issue. Thank GOD for that!

I can not stress how lucky you are to have such a understanding neighbor. I had a few close calls with some neighbor's dogs. I had to scream to the lady to pick up her dog. My male was charging hard, thank god the lady did not panic and picked up her dog. Gave me a chance to grap up his leash. How did this happen, my girl at the time had my 55-60lb male on the front porch, when he seen the unleashed dog trotting down the street...he went insane...dragged her a couple feet...and finally she could not hold on any longer. Till this day that lady hates my dogs, i prolly would been sued for everything i own. I told my ex a million times how strong these dogs are, but yet on several occassions they have broken her hold on the leash. I have learned my lesson, for now on they i will let future wifes, girlfriends, only walk puppies.;) Unless, they of course have some exp. under thier belts with these dogs. DJ i wish you the best of luck with this unfortunate situation. I am sure things will work out. Keep us updated.

[Bullyson]

He broke the fence in my back yard. He's been fine before but Im sure there are some dogs in heat somewhere close to my house. He's just a puppy. I would guess 13 or 14 months old...I was at work when this happened. The old lady wont listen to a damn thing I say. I told her over and over and over "Dont let the damn dogs outside when I'm not home! If you do, stay outside with them until they're done doing their business and then bring them back in the house." Does she listen? Hell no. Never ever ever. She never liked ole Gus. She bitched about him everyday. I'm pretty sure she let him do his thing on purpose. Its all good. She's getting out soon and Gus is coming home so that will be that. Thanks for the input bullydogs. :)Well this is good to hear.

[AndrewPeabody]

BGDJ: Do you plan on getting Gus fixed? If he is roaming to find that bitch in heat, fixing him will solve that problem, right?

BTW, I sure do like his picture in your gallery, he's definitely a looker. All we got for strays in my town if f*#$ing cats, not nice look dogs like Gus. Good luck

[yellaman420]

Ran through this same senario w/ my woman. She let the dogs out (against ALL advise and sense) unchained, then she and her brother had to chase them up the street. No harm done, but a bone head move on her part. She shows up at my work, pissed off, tellin me what happened. I shrug and say, "So the dogs are okay? Whats the prob?" blah blah blah, "I didnt sign on for this stuff, its either the dogs or me!" Half a breath later I say, "Well, give your mom a call, Im sure she'll be glad to have you."
Point being, Ill find another scatterbred, non-specifically tested, tried or conditioned woman. A dog is just a dog unless its MY DOG. And every other person around me should just accept that fact.
GBDJ--where you stay, finding another lady is like pickin a leaf off a tree, its just to easy!!

AMEN brotha, i broke up with my chick a few months ago because she could care less about what i had to say and what i wanted to do. It was about her and it always is all about them, thats why i say i'd rather be single until i find a chick thats into dogs or fishing or hunting or somethin that im into.

[Bullyson]

**Update**
I took off early today and went to see my ole boy at AC. These fools had a sign on the entrance to the office that said "WE EUTHANIZE ANIMALS." What in the hell is the point in that? Anyhow, Gus almost shit himself when he saw me. I just wanted him to see my face so he'd know he hasnt been forgotten. His bid is up on the 3rd but they're closed on Mondays and Tuesdays so I cant bail him out until the 5th. I was expecting to pay an arm and a leg but they said it's only $180. I can live with that. 25$ impound, 10$ a day for his jail term and 25$ violation. You wouldnt believe all the APBT's I saw today. It broke my heart. There was a female who had a break on her front leg that never healed. She sat there licking it the whole time we were there. Poor thing. I'm sure her days were #'d. I havent seen shit that sad in a long time. Ole Gus' nose was tore up from that cat but I'm pretty sure the ole kitty kitty took the brunt of things. I will post some pics as soon as I get him back home. Thanks to all of you for the concern. He's not going to care for his new digs (chain spot) when he gets home but its better than losing him all together. YIS, DJ.

[Bullyson]

**UPDATE**

He's home and loving it. He was pretty sick but we're working on that. Heres the happy man. You can see a little snot around his nose. He's almost all dried up now though. :)

[bullydogs]

DJ, i am glad everything worked out. Atleast their are still some good endings.

[kinggatorpits]

Glad you got GUS back DJ ...He's a good looking dog.

[ABK]

GBDJ: Glad to hear you got Gus. Back. It might be nice if you sent a little get well card to the lady's cat or something. Just a show of good will, you know.

That being said, let me get a little OT here. What was this comment all about???

"It was about her and it always is all about them, thats why i say..."

WTF is that?? Guys (& gals) here is a little free advice I learned the hard way. Unless your significant other is mentally deficient, a person in a relationship who disregards your feelings & generally doesn't listen to you is doing something called being "passive aggressive." Passive aggression is defined medically as this:

"Pertaining to behavior in which feelings of aggression are expressed in passive ways as, for example, by stubbornness, sullenness, procrastination, or intentional inefficiency."

If you are having passive aggression in your household you might want to take a look at you & your role in the relationship. It's not always "all about us." Passive aggression doesn't happen out of the blue for no reason. It is usually a signal something is going wrong in the relationship - i.e. you screwed up somewhere down the line & the event(s) are festering & she is upset.

Passive aggression is usually a tool many women employ to show our displeasure w/ our man. Most men yell, scream or hit things to show aggression or release anger. Women on the other hand often choose less "aggressive" was to show aggression & release anger (hence the term "passive" aggression). Things like not listening, "forgetting" to do things or just generally ignoring you & doing what she wants.

She (or he - men do it too) may be doing this conciously, or she may be doing it unconciously, but either way, if it's occuring you may want to sit down for a talk about your relationship & not just slough it off as us being "all about ourselves."

If your woman is being passive aggressive, she's trying to tell you something & if you want to salvage your relationship, it would behoove you to listen.

And if you've experinced passive aggression from several women in several different relationships, you might just want to sit down & examine yourself to see what is bring this out in them.

OK, I'm getting off my soapbox now ... lol ...

I was biting my tounge as well, I am glad the pup is fine. It takes two to tango my good man, and if the woman in your life is as easy to replace as yellerman indicated:

Point being, Ill find another scatterbred, non-specifically tested, tried or conditioned woman

Walk the hell away...that is no relationship, and any man that is lookin for that....hmmmmmmmm not sure what to say. My point being it is pretty disrespectful, but then again you GET what you GIVE...

Your discourse in your relationship (or what ever the hell it is) put your dog at risk.....FIX IT, and good luck

... You lost me right here. You have no clue what is going on with this woman and her psycho babble. Not to be rude ABK, I value your opinion, but you dont, nor do any other members on here but TripleJ, know this girl. lIve been around a while and Ive been in LOTS of relationships and Ive never met a female as spitefull and nasty as this one and I HAD A KID WITH HER! OH JOY OH JOY!!!!!!!! You have no clue so keep on thinking that its something I did. :rolleyes: It makes no difference to me. Its just the internet.

[ABK]

Actually, I wasn't talking about YOU DJ, I was using the word "you" in a general way. But I do hope you got a little help out of my post anyway.

And why is it guys seem to pick all the pyscho girls to settle down & have babies with??? I never did under stand that.

[Osea]

I don't know, people can opt for the easy way out and lay the blame on their partners all they want but to me it sounds simple, be more responsible with your dogs and stop blaming others.

[TripleJ]

I don't know, people can opt for the easy way out and lay the blame on their partners all they want but to me it sounds simple, be more responsible with your dogs and stop blaming others.The dog was a house dog. AND was not to be let outside with out being watched at all times. Game bred did all this ,he asked for the dog Not to be let out and he was.So I think the blame is true. are YOU the expert on keeping house dogs from chewing threw a 6 ft prive fence in 3.2 sec. It was a mistake all the way around and I am sure it will not happen any more. Yis J

[Osea]

You can make excuses for your friend or you can acknowledge that they were in fact at fault by leaving someone ELSE in charge of HIS dog. Seems pretty simple to me.

Well smart @$$ His dogs are also HERS do to the fact HE pays the bills and was at work and asked his partner to help take care of the household while he was working. I guess you are still to young to know anything about that though. REMEMBER this, when you point a finger at someone, three more are pointing at you. J

As a married person for some time with 2 kids, this sh*t ain't easy. Having kids in the mix makes it even harder. Blame is pretty pointless. Learning from mistakes and seeking solutions should be the goal. Sounds like his relationship, from what he has said is pretty destructive. At this point his concern is for his dog (the problem at hand) and the bottom line is the dog is not safe being left in the care of this person. I might consider moving the dog until the relationship issue could be resolved, his partner cannot be trusted. I would contend if you own a high drive house dog, if you are not an expert on containment you should quickly become one. Why? So the dog, those in your environment and you will be safe.

Again good luck on all fronts!

You have no idea what flavor this is.You can make excuses for your friend or you can acknowledge that they were in fact at fault by leaving someone ELSE in charge of HIS dog.

[bullydogs]

I just do not see how & why this turned into relationship counseling. It was obvious that DJ was alittle upset and under a lot of stress having his dog hauled off. However, his relations are his business. And even if he did come on here explaining his dismay for his significant other...IMO he was just venting a bit...nothing wrong with that. Bottom line is, a accident happened, and thank god he got his dog back. Because 9 out of 10 times the exact scenario would result in another person losing their dog.

[Osea]

It wasn't an accident, it was carelessness.

[ABK]

It turned into relationship counciling b/c ...

1: A snide remark someone (not DJ) made.

2: DJ & other men here brought their relationship problems into this thread.

3: The dog - who is innocent - is in clear danger in the care of DJ's GF & a mending of the relationship will clearly make the dog more safe.

As for them being HER dogs too, NO THEY'RE NOT. From the sounds of it, HE got the dog & brought him into the home against her will. DJ has plainly stated that his GF complained about the dog from the moment he got him. That means:

1: She never wanted the dog.

2: Considers it his pet & thus he is repsonsible for him.

&

3: Probably resents having to be responsible for a dog she didn't want in the first place.

And I could be wrong, as we don't know ALL the details, but it appears she doesn't want to have anything to do w/ the dog. Truth be told, she probably doesn't even like the dog.

She may be acting "hateful & spiteful" b/c she feels the dog was forced on her & her opinions concerning getting the dog were ignored. If that is the case, issues will continue to happen between her & the dog. Heck, maybe she left him outside against DJ's wishes b/c she hoped he'd "disappear" - which he did.

Who knows?

In closing, I would like to say don't be so defensive DJ. Folks here are just trying to help. Even if you were just venting, you brought your private issues out here on a public MB & you can't expect folks not to comment on them. But whether you like their comments or not, each has (at least IMO) a very valid point & the folks here are just trying to help you &/or your dog.

Good luck!

Well there is a solution for that you know. First put what you have in your hand down. Then take that same hand and put it on any of your door frames, about waist HIGH, then slam the door closed really hard. The adrenalin rush will clear that hearing disorder up lickety split, at least long enough to hear what your missin!!!!!

**note: not relation counseling...just blowing off a bit o' steam ;) **

DJ, hope all is good and staying that way for Gus and his neighbors!

well i'll be damned all my buddies say that a chick like u doesn't exist, hmmm well i guess they were wrong, now i just gotta find one like u around me, hehe yea cause that will happen :rolleyes:

[nc_pitbullmommy]

Well...I can't speak for all women but I would never do anything like that. I think it really has to do with she doesn't care about the dogs and thinks caring for them in an inconvience. Maybe you should ask her? And tell her she doesn't want to take care of them leave them along.
I had a similar thing happen to me like 4 or 5 years ago. I had just had my Dobermans ears cropped and asked my brother NOT to let her outside onto the patio without latching the gate. Well he didn't and my Rottweiler/Lab mix got ont he patio and attacked her. Some stitches and about $300 later in ER vet charges she was fine.

What county you in. Here in Eaton county cost me 50.00 because my dog got in to my neighbors yard. Thing is that asshole dug he back of fence out on his side so the chain link would swing free, then he got pissed when my dog got out. I didnt even know he screwed the fence up until AC called me and told me my dog got out and back in through the fence.

I pled to it and got out of the misdemener that way too. All the county wanted was the money.

Ferk out

[Big Game]

I wasent going to comment on this subject. Alot of good points made by both the men and woman..........But you realy are (as dj put it) a true doushbag! And before anybody jumps to this persons defence. I know this is a public messageboard and everyone is intitled to there opinion. Even doushbags. It wasn't an accident, it was carelessness.

[ABK]

What makes this person a douche bag? B/c they told the truth? Yes, perhaps they could have used a little more sensitivity in their comments, but from what I recall, the points they made were spot on.

It WASN'T an accident. And accident is an "oops" thing. This dog was let out & the caretaker was specifically told to watch the dog, which she purposely did not do. There is no accident in that.

(BTW, I know you shouldn't know this, but it's "douche" not "doush." If you're going to insult someone you can at least spell it right. :D)
