I knew it would happen. For months the four dobermans who live next door have been coming to our yard and trying to bite Willow, my 11 year old labrador and Bentley, my 12 year old doxie. I have a big back yard, but had to keep them indoors quite often. When I took them outside, I stayed close by. I sent many text messages to my neighbor asking her to keep her dogs in her yard, telling her they kept trying to bite my dogs. She ignored my text messages
It has already happened. Bentley was laying on his back yelping very loudly. He was surrounded by the four dobermans. I threw myself on top of him to protect him. They had bitten him in the neck and on his back. I called the county sheriff and animal control.
My husband took him to the animal hospital. This happened 2 1/2 weeks ago and they have already recovered physically (my lab hurt her hips and was struggling to get her back end up and stand, walk, climb the three stairs to the kitchen). Willow is affaid to go outside in the back yard and poops on our licing room carpet.
The neighbors already paid $140.00 for the animal hospital and put in a below the ground fence. In return I signed a paper saying I would not pursue legal action.
Even though my dogs have physically recovered I am still scared. I carry a bb gun with me and I will not take them out at night after dark. My husband takes them out before he goes to bed.
“Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for you are with me.” Psalm 23:4
Thank you Lord for your protection. My dogs could have been killed. I could have been attacked. Please take away my fear. Thank you for helping my husband and I to forgive our neighbors. Please keep the dogs in their fence and keep our dogs safe.
