Thank you, it is so strange to me. Yes, that’s exactly what I thought. If this puppy isn’t killed, then it will grow up to be aggressive and pitbulls already have a bad name. They are highest on the list for dog attacks. All the animal shelter can do is fine them for not having them properly leashed. My parents and grandma are going to call each time any of the dogs get loose. I’ve already posted on Facebook, told my friends, and will continue to post. I believe I’m also going to report them to the animal shelter because the way they treat their animals isn’t right. You know how you can get bad feelings about people? They give off bad vibes, and have since they first moved in. When we visited for Christmas, I went outside with Skit and got scared to walk to the car because I seen the dogs tied up outside. I remember looking down at Skit and thinking, “they’re not mean, right?” Little did I know not even 3 months later they would kill Skit. It is scary. The cop said it doesn’t seem right to him that they got another dog right after this happened, in fact, he said this is the last thing they should’ve done. My mom said he looked concerned.
It is very unsettling. I honestly wish they never moved in! They do not seem like good people, especially the way my parents have heard them talk to their animals. I do not trust them. We will call the pound every time we see them. I’m saddened that more can’t be done. There used to be a lot of stray cats around the area as well. My grandma lives in the next house over by this neighbor, and she used to have a little black cat that would come visit her. There is only 1 stray now. The pound has not been making any trips around their area. I have a sickening feeling that their dogs have something to do with this. I just tried to believe it wasn’t true, but now that this has happened to Skit, it’s all I’m thinking about. They are dangerous.
It’s so funny you bring that up because literally last month my parents were asking me what kind of security cameras they should get because they don’t trust the neighbors, and the dogs kept coming back there with Skittish. They were worried about her at all times, and wanted to be able to pull up a camera to see her. I live an hour and a half away now so I can’t film anything unless I visit. My parents can film something when they’re home but my mom works 2 pm- 11 pm, and my dad works 5 pm- 5 am.
Skittish was the first dog I ever had, and didn’t know much about dogs besides what my family told me. I knew the stereotypical aggressive dogs like pitbulls, dobermans, Rottweilers and I just went off that. Obviously I needed to be more educated. All I knew about huskies was that they were bred to be sled dogs, need lots of exercise, and are playful, stoic dogs. I never learned that they had a high smell prey drive! No one I know ever talked about it. This is when living in a small town is difficult. Not many people in my hometown know much about animals. I’ve watched YouTube farmers, and came to learn that livestock guardian dogs have to be trained not to kill birds, cats, or even small dogs. I don’t know why it never crossed my mind that huskies could deal with the same instincts
I have personally met some very nice pitbulls. My husbands dad used to have one and she was an absolute sweetheart who wouldn’t hurt anyone, but her bark was strong and terrifying! She was a lot different than Skittish. With Nova, you knew she could really hurt you with that bite if she wanted to but she was calm and collected. It really depends on the owner.
Yeah Nick lost most of his tail from a husky trying to pull him out of a tree and degloving the end of his tail. I asked the vet to save as much of his tail as they could. Nick is fine and all healed up but that husky is a cat killer waiting to happen.
Such a beautiful kitty! I’m so glad Nick is okay. I really never knew that huskies were like this, but they definitely are. I’m not sure if I can look at any big dogs the same anymore.
