SD20 thinks I should let her dog bite me. Am I the crazy one here?
Her dog tried to bite me and I kicked him away from me then put him outside. This dog bit my son bad enough to need stitches last month and in our county he will be put down if he bites someone again. I am not an animal abuser, but I wasn't going to just sit there and let him bite me either. Especially when he I know he bites hard enough to need stitches. He's getting old and cranky. I told FDH when he bit my son he had to go, but we haven't been able to find anyone to take him. After he tried to bite me I said he had to go even if it's to a shelter and now BM and SD20 are all up in arms because I kicked him in the face to keep him from biting me. What would you have done in that situation? BM had the nerve to say we should move out because the dog was with FDH first. I told her that she can get the dog or I can take him to a shelter but he's not staying here. I think they should be happy I didn't call animal control who would put him down. So, tell me, would you put up with the dog biting you?
ETA- No one was home when this happened. FDH told them about it when he called to see if they would take the dog.

The hard part is the dog has
The hard part is the dog has been with FDH for 10 years, so they all love him. But he's biting people. And we have 13 and 9 year old boys. I have told them stay away from the dog till I'm blue in the face, they want to play with him anyway. They don't see the danger, even after being bitten, because he's been here so long. So I'm scared if we keep him, someone will break a rule and try to play with him and it will happen again. Then we have a hurt kid and the dog gets put down.
He's a mutt. I think mostly a
He's a mutt. I think mostly a mix of German Shepard and Border Collie.
dumb bitch bm thinks you and
dumb bitch bm thinks you and your kids should leave and the dog should stay? is the bitch on drugs? i cannot even imagine suggesting something so asinine. how about she and her asshole daughter take the dog and let it bite them since they think he's so important? man, that chaps my ass!
They finally decided to take
They finally decided to take him. But they are making this federal case because I kicked him. Like I am some abusive person....it's crazy. He was trying to bite me! I really didn't even think about it, I just kicked him away from me.
I never had a dog before so I
I never had a dog before so I am pretty ignorant about why he could be doing this. I didn't know it could be a health issue. I figured it was just cause he was getting old and didn't want to play with the kids. I think BM is gonna take him so I will tell FDH to ask her to take him to the vet.
But I still don't think I was wrong to defend myself. It's pissing me off that SD20 actually said, well he wouldn't have killed you. So I am supposed to be a chew toy? Ridiculous!
ETA- this was a response to Foxie, not sure why it posted at the bottom.
Fuck that shit. I love love
Fuck that shit. I love love love animals. Volunteer at an animal shelter and all of the above. Dogs just don't stop that dominant behavior. The one dog who bit my daughter is dead. Also child services came after BM after her dog bit SS then 3 and she didn't get rid of iT. Would you prefer your children be taken away?
I got a new dog and it is
I got a new dog and it is very food aggressive. She is about 60 pounds and went after every dog I have. She flipped on me once, I kicked her because I like my hands. I kicked her in the shoulder. She doesn't flip on me any more. I am still working on her and the two little dogs. She is learning the hard way that she will not try to dominate all the other dogs. It's a pain in the butt. I know in the end she will be a great dog though. She has never tried to dominate my DD4 and that is a good thing because she would be out on her butt very fast. To quote FormerAA, we don't deal with terrorists.
Your title said it all. It is
Your title said it all. It is SD dog tell hee to take the dog or its going to a shelter period. Don't entertain anything after that. She is stupid if she thinks anyone is not going to defend themselves against a dog. One time I beat the shit out of our neighbors dog b/c he attacked me and my brother when we were in middle school. No one is going to stand there and let an animal bit them. So stupid to think other wise.
Where I'm from dogs that bite
Where I'm from dogs that bite are taken out back and shot.
That's pretty much it.
Here is an idea, my neighbors
Here is an idea, my neighbors have three huge labs that have become aggressive the past month or so. Foster dog has to be walked now in the front yard and the labs have been coming into my front yard snarling. I have fence down both sides of the yard but not across the front. I carry mace and I have sprayed two of the three labs. The third one got away before I could nail her. They don't come in my yard and I have gotten bolder and started walking foster dog down the street in front of their yard to go to a vacant lot. They stop at least five feet away if not more. Some days they don't even get up. Carry mace and I am sure one shot to the snout and the dog will stop trying to dominate you. I feel bad but I am not letting these three monsters keep harassing the neighborhood. It's also nice to not have them use my yard as a there personal toilet.
I love animals too but you
I love animals too but you did the right thing. I feel for the dog-he mustn't have been trained right. But first and foremost, you have to look out for yourself and your kids.
Maybe instead of making a case, bm should ask herself if SHE could've helped sd train this dog better years ago.
