ALrighty..
I posted a while ago about catching my neighbours Beagle... WELL
I have caught it another 4 times (approx) when I have had time. Its about JUST ABOUT every freaking day. Coming over onto our lawn, peeing/marking all over my front yard.
Since then, Riot has realized that its "his" property and marks his territory now. *grr*
Anyways, Tonight, around 10:00pm I see the **** thing running around AGAIN!! I had just came home from Riots Rally-O class. I always let Riot just jump out of the van without a leash b/c hes VERY good at staying on his property. Well.. I then notice that **** Beagle on the yard. I grab Riot(because I know he'll want him off, or to play with it) and put him in the house, lure the Beagle(Hercules btw) into our backyard, scared that he might get hit by cars. I'm not on a ridiculously busy road, but lately the police and fire have been going around with a bit of upped traffic.
Well.. anyways, I bring him into our backyard(I can't catch him btw.. I lured him with treats lol Good thing for Beagle bellies!) and then shut the gate on him.
It takes me a good 30min to be able to put a slip knot collar make out of rope on him and tie him to my fence(he can figure his way out of the backyard somehow lol) So, I walk over to the neighbours house knock on their door..
No answer. I KNOW they are home, there are two vehicles in the driveway and the house lights are on. So I'm thinking.. Thats SOO IGNORANT!! That P.O.ed me to start..
So I walk back to my house, play with the Beagle a bit. I also did some basic "come" on the leash training with him in case he gets out next time lol
Well, hes very happy to see me now lol so HOPEFULLY it wont be a hassle next time.. and yes I KNOW there WILL be a next time.
Anyways, i go back to the house knock on the door a bit louder and for longer.. trying to purposely get them a bit peeved so they come to the door. Nothing.. so I go back to my house. Let our dogs out on leashes so they can go to the washroom(b/c the Beagle is in our backyard). Meanwhile the Beagle is howling his brains out.. i'm thinking GRREEAATT noise complaint for us and its not even our dog lol
So.. I speak with my mom and we decided to tie the Beagle to the neighbours front step. We go about doing it. We use one of our flat collars(Beagle doesn't have collar btw) so he doesn't choke himself and we leave him JUST enough slack to lay down.
Well.. it works for a while.. each time another person or dog passed by on the sidewalk he'd howl his brains out.
I stand and watch for a bit from my yard thinking "okay.. THATS gotta wake them up or something".. NOPE!! NOTHING..
So I go back inside to think up some other things.
I come to the conclusion that i'm worried that the Beagle will either
A - get out of collar and roam free AGAIN
or
B - Beagle strangles itself somehow(you know Beagles lol) and I become Liable
So.. I go back to their house, bang on the door one last time just for good measure - surprise surprise NO ANSWER..
So my mom and I take Beagle around the house into its backyard.
They have another dog there too, an older Sheltie cross by the looks of it. I was told by our other neighbours it was aggressive, so I was a little paranoid not knowing if its had its shots or not.. WELL it walks around the corner and just follows us, seems friendly enough but very treat aggresive(we gave him treats to stay away from us further into the backyard).
When I go to shut the backyard gate(its pitch black by the way lol we only had flashlights) there was a freaking red brick HOLDING THE GATE WIDE OPEN!!!
I'm thinking to myself.. "omg.. how irresponsible"
Now, I use the rope that I tied Beagle to porch before to tie the gate shut so there is no way the Beagle could open it somehow(smart little buggers lol).
and go back home..
This Beagle has been out NUMEROUS times, pestering anyone who walks their dog by them. Its very friendlty, but what if another dog isn't and attacks it?!
I'm EXTREMELY tempted to call Animal Control.. but there are some problems with our Humane Society right now and it would not help the Beagle at all.
Any other suggestions?
Ohh btw, Neighbours aren't Canadian so some of them are a bit harder to communicate with, but from what I have met before they are all very nice people, so I dont want to hurt their feelings or anything..
help?
