[stale]

oh, such fun ignorant people - i just had to chase the animal control away, after they came to check up on me and my "dangerous" dog.

there's a family down the street, father, mother, older daughter, and two twins. about 4 hours ago now, i caught the one twin climbing over my back gate (still don't know why, she wouldn't tell me) and the other one in my back yard. after yelling at twin #1, twin #2 bolted through the gate i had just opened - directly into the hose spool thingy. it's cast iron, with little spikes on it. she got a scalp wound. what fun.

now we have two kids, one bolting for home, the other one with a series of small holes in her forehead. great. so i carry the stupid child home, pass her to her dad, and tell him exactly what i found in my yard. he takes the kid and rushes her to the sink to clean her up. all good so far. this was about 4 hours ago.

less than 1 hour ago, stupid children's uncle came by to scream at me over letting my dog bite his niece (Ozzy was in his box this whole time - no idea at all how he thought that my dog got his retarded niece.) so, Oz, hearing me yell back at this guy, jumps up from where he was laying on the porch and starts barking. idiot uncle takes a kick at the dog, and i dropped uncle in his tracks. open handed hit onto the sternum, then knocked him down my steps. told him if he comes near my property again, the cops will collect him in traction.

just now, right before i wrote this, animal control shows up about a "vicious dog who mauled a child and knocked down a man from down the street." after showing the AC fellow Oz (once again in his box) i drag him down the street to meet the twins, and daddy. mom and the uncle are out sulking somewhere - not at home.

stupid twin #2 tells the AC fellow that she ran "into the water holder" (i explain to the AC dude that this is a hose reel) and her dad points out that I am the one who brought the kid home. he knows my dog, and me, and pointed out to the AC guy that the dog had nothing to do with it.

seems his wife called her brother to complain that somehow my dog had attacked her child, and to add insult to injury, her brother claimed that Oz knocked him down, instead of me. the father liked me well enough, until today, and has always let his kids pet Oz when we were walking.

so, Oz is ok, AC fellow just left, shaking his head. the twins and daddy are ok. daddy was left with a message for his BiL and wife though, that if EVER anyone from that family comes onto my property again, they'll be leaving with either the cops or in a body bag.

gods, i'm pissed. not enough to have a six foot gate on my yard - thinking of glueing broken bottles to the top of it now.

people just suck.
