    Our dogs are on tie out...but someone has been unhooking our little dog. At first we thought he was somehow managing to get it unhooked, so we got a different hook, and he was off that too. Fortunately he loves our other dog and stays with him, but I'm pretty sure if someone ran by he would go check it out.

    I've been wondering if we should make a report with the police so it's on record if something does happen. We have a fine of $150 if he is picked up loose, really don't want to pay that if someone else comes on our yard and unhooks the dog.

    Definitely let the police and/or rspca know.
    And put up cameras or ask around the neighbourhood to find out who is doing it.

    We have neighbors like that! Their dogs bark nonstop all day long for days on end. When does the dog's behaviors become the other neighbors' responsibility? *smh*

    This is another pet peeve of mine!! I have a neighbor that has a Jack Russell in the backyard all friggin day, & I work nights.
    It's yapping and yapping, constantly for hours on end. Is it the dog's fault? No. That breed of dog yaps--ahelluva LOT!
    In this scenario, I do blame the pet owner, b/c you shouldn't have a pet and just leave them unattended in a yard--fenced or not--for hours and days on end--ESPECIALLY, if all they do is bark.

    For fun, when I have had enough, I allow River--my Lab/Pit out the back door so that she can give them a piece of her mind for keeping us up during our afternoon nap! :laugh:

    Okay now another:

    Just got back from the Stoneridge Mall and while I was waiting for my DW to get some stuff at Bath and Bodyworks, a lady who had a dog on a leash was stopped by the store manager saying that she couldn't bring her dog in. The lady stated that the dog was an "service" dog. No identifier on the dog, and no proof the dog was a service dog. She became irate with the manager and security ended up coming and escorting the woman away.
    It's over 100 degrees outside right now, so I know why she brought the dog in. But it's irresponsible to say that it's a "service" dog and in the SF Bay Area, there's a lot of people who by fake service dog identifiers so they can take their dog anywhere they want.
    Not right especially if the dog engages against another real service dog (which I do believe do not aggressively protect themselves).
    Here's an article on it:

    While I agree this is WRONG on every level possible, this statement:
    The Americans with Disabilities Act was written that way to protect the privacy of the disabled.
    is where this has failed, because they don't have to register the dogs & provide proof, like with handicap parking tags.

    Which, this is TOTALLY off topic, but I've seen plenty of people who use handicap parking tags to park closer that are CLEARLY NOT handicap, nor are they assisting someone who is.
