[QUOTE="Star*, post: 570694, member: 4964"] Bunny, Your sister in law is insensitive, unknowledgeable, and her behavior and comments were unnecessary. I would however suggest that your son find out WHY dogs are such a trigger for him and having meltdowns only because to have fears are healthy - it keeps us alive, but to have meltdowns over our fears is unhealthy, and can affect us life-long. Your neighbor in my humble opinion should not make HER dogs, and HER property your problem, and therefor is putting you and your family under UNDO stress and problems. Think about it - Her dogs, and their lack of concern for caring for them crossed over into YOUR holiday and caused a rift with you and your sister in law - had the woman next door been taking care properly of her animals? It would have been a non-issue with YOUR family. Something that should have never happened. I'm still going to say if someone "SEES" you letting those animals out of your yard, and they cause harm to another possibly traumatized child, or cause an accident - I think I would want to know in MY state what the laws are and if I can be held responsible. I realize your frustration and respect it, and often doing the right thing when you are so frustrated doesn't seem fair. But what seems most unfair is these people are ALLOWED to have dogs that they don't care for, cause problems that they don't seem to own responsibility for - and at this point? I think I would contact IN PERSON the local dog warden and work my way up the ranks to City Manager. If the problem was NOT getting solved with the dog catcher (ACO) dog warden what have you - keep in mind everyone has a boss....and going in PERSON to the office with a written, notarized letter stating your intentions about the lack of responsibility and problems YOUR own house has with said lack of responsibility should STOP the problem....not put a bandaid on it. Just kibble for thought. [/QUOTE]
