  • +100 out and chicken...wire?!

    Picture it! A small desert town, mid-August 2009...



    Grandmother and I generally do our shopping at 10 AM every few days. Well, about a week ago, it was reaching at least 105 outside by then. We get our shopping down and come out. A woman we know by face came out with us.

    We get to our cars and she gets to hers. Well, a white Subaru car was one: over the white line, giving her barely enough room to get in and two: filled with FOUR pits. Big pits.

    I get everything loaded and notice loud "BARK BARK WOOF GROWL". Straightening up, I see the woman on the FAR side of the truck's bed. She has three handfuls of bones and is throwing them at these dogs. Who, by chance, RIPPED THROUGH the chicken wire on his rolled down windows ( )and were lunging halfway out, trying to get her.

    A man came out, told her he'd be back he'll page the owner. OK all is good. We start driving toward the parking lot exit (having to go by the car with the dogs). The man left the BACK DOOR OPEN and one dog jumped out. Immediately, I am unbuckling just in case. He started going toward a woman (halfway out the door now) and he stops and runs back into the car.

    As the owner for the car showed up, I was parked near the woman, taking car info. down and was on the phone with the cops.

    He even gave me a big grin when he was driving off and I got a facial description of him. Thank you mister! Hope they found your car and you're at least paying a fine!


    Scared me half to death though. Figured I'd share the idiocy from that day.

    Well, if there's enough ventilation to a shaded area, dogs are okay even in 100+ degree weather. Chicken wire vs. pit bulls, though? Uh... No. Bad idea. I'd recommend the fencing they sell for pigs, or even the reinforcing mesh they use for concrete work.

      I'd be more concerned with the dogs being improperly secured and attacking someone; that's the reason I would have called the police for. The icing on the cake would be if they got him for animal cruelty for leaving them in the car too!

        That's one of the reason's I did call. This poor woman couldn't even get to the left side of her truck without getting attacked. >< With the people out here, I doubt he got nailed for anything.

          Tho I have to ask...

          why in the world was she throwing chicken bones at them?

          ignoring the fact that chicken bones are known to splinter (and thus can hurt a dog)... wouldn't that just get them angry?

          in this case, although obviously the man was wrong for leaving the dogs like that
          i can't totally take the woman's side either, not if she was throwing things at the dogs to get them riled up.

            More likely doing the cartoon thing and trying to distract them so she could get into her car.
            Any day you're looking down at the dirt instead of up at the dirt is a good day.
