My dog....

.... bite my neighbor and I could be prouder of her.
I have been having problems with my neighbors cat coming over spraying the steps by my back door. I talked to him about it and he said it was not his cat and just a stray he fed. I caught the cat in a hav-a-heart trap last night and brought to the shelter this morning. The vet was there and they wanted to neuter the cat if it was a stray. I told them my neighbor left food out for it but it was a stray so they could do what they wanted with it.
I was working in my garage and my neighbor walked in and wanted to know if I had seen the cat. I told him what I did and let him know he could leave. He got upset and said I had no right to do that to his cat. I reminded him that as the animal control officer it is my job to take care of stray cats and that is what I did. he started coming towards me and my dog bite on the leg and arm. He took off hollering and swearing. I called to sheriff and let him know what happened in case the guy tried to press charges. The sheriff said if I didn't invite him in he can be charged with trespassing and my dog was doing what good dogs do.

He should, however, have no qualms about a stray being neutered.
Looks like your dog was doing a good job.
Good boy!!
I think maybe your dog needs a bag of "T-BONZ" as a treat!!![:D]
Good boy!!
T-Bonz hell! Get that puppy a rib-eye![:D]
I like it that your neighbor looks after a stray cat.

Just me but I would have to thank you for having it Spayed.
Feeding one right now, that is taking its time getting used to me. Just had to chase another off tonight that just showed up. And if that Big Persian shows back up that was here this weekend, I'm staying in the house. Man was it ever big.
My little stray.

That cat would have gone to cat heaven, and I would have told him, I have not seen your cat [:D] Good dog.
In general, a trespasser is someone who wasn't invited on the property. Unless you warn people off your property with signs or locked gates, you are considered to have given an "implied invitation" to members of the public to approach your door on common errands - for example, to speak with you, try to sell you something, or ask directions.
He came into the garage with out knocking and didn't leave the first time I asked him to.

Common law rule. If the state follows the common law rule - which imposes liability on a dog owner who knew a dog was dangerous - technically, the fact that the injured person was trespassing doesn't matter. So if the common law rule were applied strictly, if you know your dog is dangerous, and it bites a burglar who breaks into your house, you're liable. In practice, however, courts and juries are reluctant to hold a dog owner liable to a trespasser. Many courts have softened the rule to avoid unjust results. Some have modified the rule to say that a dog owner, even one who knows a dog is dangerous, isn't liable if the dog hurts a trespasser.43 Some say that the common law rule doesn't apply to trespassers if the dog is a guard dog.44
Some say this and some say that. This is were you have to have a lot of time and money for a good lawyer. Is it worth all the trouble.
over a cat
We caught the visitor and took him to the vet for a trim. When we brought him home, we gave him food and water. He ate and drank, and then disappeared, and we haven't seen him since. I reckon that was $80 well spent! [:D]
If he was a visitor and not a stray, and he went back home as I figure he did, the lack of testicles may keep him there. Or, he may just stay away from here, figuring we will cut off something else if he comes back. I haven't heard any complaints from any neighbors about their cat being neutered without their consent. [;)]
As luck would have it the screen was steel, so I hooked a fence charger up to it and put another peice of screen down for a ground pad.
Don't know if it would work for cats, but it sure works for dogs.
Finally the homeowner walks out and 22s the cat, blammo. picks up the remains and tosses it over the fence into the former cat owner's yard.
The cat guy sued the cat shooter for emotionally traumatizing his wife....(she found the former cat)
I never heard the outcome
There was a visiting or stray tom cat who would come in our garage and mark his territory, even though it was not his, and he would pick fights with our ex-tom cat, and eat his food. [:(!]

I think if you caught me taking a leak on your garage and you cut my gonads off, I wouldn't come back either.

What State do you live in? What Law School did you graduate from?
I live in New Orleans, Louisiana, and I live in a neighborhood. Once you walk off of the public sidewalk (and to be exact,20" for the City's servitude),you are on "Private Property", and the homeowner can request that you vacate his property immediately.
If you think the private property laws are tough, the gun laws are very simple. Your refusal to leave,is easily interpreted as aggression. Now you are open game!
We also have "The Burglar Law" and "The Car Jacker Law"...two more easy kills!
In short, * strangers are not welcome down South!
I fixed that Earl.
My last duty station was Ft. Polk, outside Leesvile Louisiana. Outside of used car salesmen, most folks was right friendly.

exactly what I was thinking[:D]
A "Rebel" must live by his own code, and march to the beat of That Southern Drum...
Earl - I am not your biggest fan. Sometimes what you say (post)makes me feel a little apologetic for the image you present of Sountern folks.
That said I want to recognize and support your love and advocacy of a way of life, a thought process, the way we think about some things. Being Southern is hard to explain. Simply put: I know I am and I am good with it.
There is a book that I used to give to my friends from other places to help explain it: Book is called "SOUTHERN IS" written by Mary Norton Kratt. For all I know this woman could be from Exit 163 in New Jersey but she hits the nail on the head right often.
Take it easy on me if I offended. Not my intention. Just know that many of you that think you have us figured out, don't.
I'd be extremely vigilant for the next few weeks or months. A dog is very easy to poison unless aggressively taught not to take food that you don't hand him. A small chunk of London Broil, syringe laced with a little antifreeze and tossed onto your property is all it takes...and your neighbor sounds like he's just the type who would do that.

Thomas,
First, I wish to apologize if and when I hurt your feelings. Your name does not ring a bell, but that means nothing if I hurt you.
Basically, there are two reasons that I write in this manner.First, to shock. That is the truth. Secondly, the manner in which I was raised. My father was extremely strict, and spoke to his two sons as if he was still in the Marine Corps.
However, I am 58 years old, and I know better. How did I hurt your feelings? I am not attempting to trick you; I merely would like to know, so I avoid whatever subject it is.
Example: Dave Nunn has a beautiful family. When I first joined I made tasteless remarks about everything. One thing hurt(angered)Dave. When I realized how many times I hurt this "then stranger's" feelings, I felt terrible. I pray he has forgiven me, but somethings can't be overlooked.
If it is private, email me at: nhullenlawoffice2006@yahoo.com
Heck no Earl, you haven't so much hurt my feelings as I am worried that folks that don't understand you will think you are too radical to be taken seriously. We stand a little apart on the race thing but after 49 years of swimming in the pool of racial angst I have just had enough
So many folks that I have met and known have formed an opinion of me and my background based on whatever someone has told them about the South and it's people. I have an accent that you can't believe and most pople take me to be slow witted just because I am slow talking.
If you had offended me I'da told you. It isn't in me to sit still if I get mad.
quote:If you had offended me I'da told you. It isn't in me to sit still if I get mad.
I'm glad. But more and more people understand me. Most important that you understand, is that I have never hurt anyone, who did not start the fight. I have interfered when I have seen a situation of more than "one on one"...and I don't care what race, religion, or color they are. I hate a bully. I have never touched (hit) a woman. I have a little sister, and until July 9th, I had a mother.
When I was small...3 or 4, I was fighting with my sister. Suddenly, I became airborne, and "informed" if I ever touched my sister, or any other girl, my father would "touch me"!
If I start a rant...just stop me and tell me to take a breath.[:D]
cool. Now do we throw down the secret handshake that non of these Yankees know about?

Extra Biscuit Deserved. [:D]
I'm not saying that what you did was wrong; in fact I think that it was quite just given the circumstances. If he wants his cat, let him go down to the shelter and pick it up.
However, let's put the shoe on the other foot. Not that I would suggest that you would let your dog roam, but if he DID regularly get out and crapped on the neighbor's lawn regularly, and the neighbor took your dog in and had some surgery performed on him, how would you feel?
I'd have given him one more warning: the cat pisses on my steps again, it's going in to get fixed.
THEN I'd have done what you did.
A little cat piss is irritating at most. However, a pissed off neighbor is trouble waiting to happen. You escalated a conflict- however justly. I hope you don't suffer for it. As said- watch your dog carefully. If your neighbor is the vindictive type, he might retaliate.
