Rich with Kids Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Our neighbor's dog got a hold of her and drug her under the fence. Her injuries were just too severe. The vet did everything he could. The two kids that loved her the most saw everything. It was horribly violent and my ds10 hasn't stopped crying. He keeps talking about how he wished he appreciated her more when she was alive. He told me he talked to her when he didn't feel like he could come to us. :crying: If you get a chance, pray for Aaron and Chelsey. They are already stressed from our move. To move without Princess will be especially hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Oh my! I am so sorry! My ds who is almost 10 is VERY close to our cocker spaniel as well. I can't imagine how much he would hurt if he witnessed something like that. My prayers for your children as they cope with this loss. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialmama Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Oh, I'm so sorry :grouphug: What are the neighbours going to do with their dog? Will it be put down? That is just so sad for your kids to have witnessed that. :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i.love.lucy Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'm so sorry! My children would be devastated if something like that happened to our dog. I hope your neighbor takes appropriate action with their dog, but that doesn't help you. :grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich with Kids Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 I am not sure what will happen to their dog. They paid for everything and have been so gracious. It's not my hope that they have to put their dog down, but their vet is helping them with that decision. My DH was frantic when he finally got to their house. (We share a fence, so picture him running around the block to get to them to tell them what was going on.) They have two teenaged sons that helped my DH try to get Princess away from their dog. It was bad. She lost a foot and her hips were broken. Poor thing. I just don't know what the answer is. My DH is a mess. He held her as they gave her the shot.

Rich with Kids Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 That is absolutely awful!! I am so sorry!! Thank god it wasn't one of your children! Do you have to notify your buyer of the agressive dog next door? That's a good question. Our buyers have a 6 month old baby. I am really waiting to see what happens, though. Their vet did not seem the type of man to just let this go. Our neighbor also metioned several times that they were going to have to take some action. I will definitely follow up. Thank you for bringing that up. I'd feel terrible if this dog did this to someone else's dog or even worse, someone's child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I am so sorry for your dog and your kids. It is awful for them to see something like that. I think I would sue your neighbors.....not so much for the money...but to let them know they can't get away with something like that. Not too many judges these days feel sorry for a dog that attacks and kills another dog. Just think what it might do to a small child.

Please do follow up and make certain that your neighbors are aware of the potential for disaster with this dog. When dd was an infant, we had a terribly aggressive Rottweiler next door.

Highereducation Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Oh, how awful. I'm so sorry to hear that this happened, and I'm sorry for your family's loss. My GSD is aggressive towards some other dogs - only large breed. His is fine with small breeds (probably because our other dog is one) and he absolutely loves children. Even so, I no longer take him out. I realize that I can't control him if he goes into aggressive mode, and I can't take that kind of a chance. We are slowly working through his issues with a trainer, but it's rough. Dh is the only one in the family capable of keeping him in line at all times, so the GSD's exercise and time outside fall onto his shoulders. Had I thought this all through before buying the GSD, we probably would have opted for another small dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich with Kids Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 The kids are better today, We did a lot of talking and hugging yesterday. They have camped out in our room the last 2 nights. DS10 is actually smiling a little today and was able to talk about her without crying. DD11 is still asleep. She never sleeps this late. She's one to not really "let it out", so she's probably exhausted from holding it in. Thank you for your prayers. I am so thankful for you. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
