Report this to animal control!

In Reply to: need suggestions - Her dogs
You need to file a report of both killings to the animal control officer. My neighbor had 2 Akitas (aggressive like chows) who attacked and killed my cat. Unfortunately my cat for some unknown mind boggling reason jumped over her fence into her fenced-in yard, BUT . . . these 2 dogs had also gotten loose a couple of times and attacked a woman getting her mail from her mailbox! Vicious dogs are vicious dogs and this needs to be documented by you. I feel so bad for your cats, but please don't let it happen to any other poor animals!

Time to report the owner to Animal Control if you have a

No animal control
There is no animal control in many rural areas.
Don't know if Animal Control will be much help
At least, not if they're like the ones around here. I have called them a couple of times for large dogs roaming loose in the neighborhood and they said they would drive by when they got a chance but if the dogs weren't there at the time there was nothing they could do. Even when I told them, they're here right now and will probably be here a while, I never saw the Animal Control vehicle come by either time.
This is a different situation, of course, but if the dog is receiving food and water I really don't think Animal Control would do much.
I understand that you do not want to bring an animal into your home that would make your cat uncomfortable. If you can keep the dog company in his yard or bring him into your yard (as suggested below) that might be a good alternative.
Maybe you could keep an eye out and try to find out who is feeding the dog and talk to them about some kind of alternative, or at least find out when the owners will be back.
I can't believe people treat their pets this way, just to save a few dollars. For a dog as small as a Sheltie, boarding isn't all that expensive. I did a quick on-line check since it's been a while since we boarded our Pom, and most places listed $12/night for small dogs. A small price to pay, in my opinion.
I got my dog from Animal Control.
There was an "application" but it was mostly common sense stuff. Good luck!
Animal Control
I'm sure the responses vary depending on where you live, what the situation, and who you talk to but for those who have had no help from Animal Control - there might be hope. A farm in my area was obviously mistreating their cows, standing in water for days and weeks with nothing to graze on but plenty of land to move them too. Just a lazy farmer I think, the whole place was a mess. I called Animal Control, the Sherrif's Dept, and the Humane Society every week (atleast once a week) for over a month. Every time I had to leave a message and soon was immediately transferred to a voicemail. I am happy to say I was persistent and eventually the problem was solved. I can only assume they got tired of hearing from me. I haven't seen a problem over there since and its been a couple of years.
Animal Control
Like the other poster said, if you click "post a reply to this message" they are right under the box that you type your message in. Anyways, I forgot to tell you, you don't have to call Animal Control just if they are mean to the dog. You can also call them about the barking, and I believe they will give them a warning and then I think a fine if they do nothing. Also, I don't know where you are located, but usually you can call the city and they will usually warn them. As much as it sucks, I figure I am just "doing my time" here, where I live, waiting to get away from these idiots I call neighbors! They obviously don't care, have talked to them, so I don't want to make matters worse, because, unfortunately, I have to be here at least 4 more years!
Animal control adoption
Oie. We adopted a very sweet what we think is a lab/retriever approximately 3 years old from Animal control on Thursday. I think she's way older than 3 and not healthy. I finally got a good look in her mouth today and her teeth are a mess. She hasn't eaten more than a handful of food since we got here and I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I don't think she can eat solid food comfortably. Also, she was coughing Thursday night. Friday morning I made an appointment for the vet because I think she either has Kennel cough or pneumonia. She is coughing until she throws up now and has done so more times than I can count. It is just huge globs of mucous. She also has a nice itch issue going on. I called Animal control and they say she wasn't coughing/puking/itching when they had her. Maybe she's allergic to us. Has anyone had a dog with kennel cough? Any ideas on making her more comfortable until her vet visit on Monday? We are going to keep her and make her as healthy and happy as we can but I'm really annoyed that Animal Control didn't notice anything going on with her, especially her poor teeth.
Thanks for letting me vent. I'm off to clean up the floor, again. 
According the animal control worker..
We have one of the animal control worker's living across the street from us and she asked my son how Lily was doing tonight. He told her that she was coughing and she said that the dogs at Animal control all have kennel cough right now and to bring her out tomorrow for some medicine. I'm still just going to bring her to the vet because of her itching and all the mucous. I think I'll just go over to her house if I have any more questions about Lily.
Lily is probably stressed with all her new changes, but other than throwing up, itching and coughing, she seems to feel right at home. We bought her a big cushion for a bed and when I put the boys to bed at night, she goes to bed in her bed too. Anyhoo...thanks again for the support. I'll update after the vet tomorrow.
You should contact animal control
Leaving a dog tied up like that and barking incessantly is abuse for one thing. Surely there is some kind of animal control or even the police you could report to?
Couldn't you have just called animal control?

Your tax dollars already go to the local shelter/animal control...sm
Police Dept., or whoever handles animals in your community. I hate to break it to you, but you're *already* paying for it. So why not have your tax dollars spent on spay/neuter, education, and training programs thru the shelter *instead* of having to be spent (as they currently are) on housing, feeding, and ultimately euthanizing so many animals? Because a TON of $$$ is spent on that now. Look it up for your community. You'll probably be shocked at the costs.
Honestly, looking at it strictly from the financial aspect of it, it would cost *less* to do more spay/neuter and education. We have it completely backwards. Makes no sense.
That being said, many communities do have organizations that offer low cost spay/neuter for seniors and low income families. And many shelters are starting to get things going in a more postive direction. More power to them. Now if we could only get the pet stores/puppy mills and backyard breeders under control... *sigh*
Call Animal Control in stead of the police. Maybe they'll take the dog

Call your local county extension office or animal control to see if
s
he is feeling out of control and he wants control
and from what you wrote, you aren't giving him opportunities to have some control.
My 4 yo has had this type of behavior since the age of 2-1/2, but I've figured out how to deal with it. First of all, he wants your attention, good, bad, indifferent and wants some say so in what happens to him.
I've done several things. With the screaming, I totally ignore her. I tell her my ears are closed and I can't hear her, but if she wants to cry/scream, she can't do it in MY living room (bedroom, whatever), only in HER bedroom. If she refuses to stay in her room, I take away her favorite snuggly and put it on the top of something, out of reach but visible. She can have it back when she stays in her room and stops being loud. If she keeps coming out, I put another coveted stuff up out of reach, over and over until she realizes I mean she has to stay in her room. I don't tell her she has to stop her fit or crying...she just can't do it in MY space. She can come back to where I am if she is quiet.
I make sure she knows I am in control, but we negotiate almost everything. If I want her to drink milk for breakfast and she wants juice, I tell her okay but she has to drink the milk at lunch. That gives her a sense of control and having a say in what is happening to her.
I have also had to sit on her bed for HOURS, holding her by wrapping my arms around her while she screams and kicks and bites until she begs to be let go. I won't let go until the out of control stuff stops. I don't talk except to say "I'll let you go when you are quiet." It is exhausting, but it only took a few times for her to understand I would invest the time and she hated being held like that for so long.
When I work at home, I make sure I take a break about every 90 mins and spend about 30 mins with her. It takes me all day to get my work done, but it makes all the difference in the world.
If she won't pick up something (say, blocks) after being asked upteen times, I tell her I will give them away to a child who wants to take care of them. It only took losing one set of blocks for her to get the idea she HAS to clean up her messes.
Finally, after being potty trained for at least a month and then rebelling and making messes in her pants for a week in a row (this happened 3 times), I finally told her in a very loud voice that _I_ had control over whether or not she went trick or treating and whether or not Santa comes to our house. If she wanted to have those things, she better use the potty and no more messes. She has been dry since the beginning of October and I give her a treat every day she stays dry.
One day a couple of weeks ago, she wanted to go to Mickie Dee's, but as we drove up she started shouting about wanting to go inside. I wanted to drive through. We were in the drive through line and I calmly told her sometimes people get mad and yell at someone else, but maybe it was an accident...I asked if she wanted to tell me sorry for yelling at me or did she want to go home. She shook her head "no" to apologizing. I repeated my offer and again got "no." I drove off towards home which immediately threw her into tears and whining, but now she doesn't yell at me anymore if she wants something.
Since October we have far fewer melt downs and I have realized she actually shows me her triggers...If she is angry and grumpy on the way home from somewhere, I hand her an energy bar to munch and suddenly I have a sunshine child again. If she gets grumpy in the middle of the day and refuses to take a nap, I tell her we will lie down on my bed. We start out talking and before too long, I tell her I am tired and want to close my eyes, but not go to sleep. Pretty soon, she will close her eyes and fall asleep. I can then get back up and go about my business.
Before somebody starts bashing me, I have a close friend who is a child psychologist and she helped me with all these suggestions. It takes a lot of work to maintain the appearance of control while giving the child the opportunity of having some say so in his/her life.
Would you report.
If you saw someone moving there furniture out of the house 2 days before their housefire?
That's right. I had one report where pt had SM
cancer of the pancreas and, according to report, was supposd to be dead ten years ago. The guy was alive and doing fairly well with gastrostomy tube. I doubt when doctors give so much time left to live, unless the patient is in really bad shape and we are talking about days; but years? No. SIL may be around for a lot longer.
As for me, I would go to Europe. Maybe stay in Europe! LOL!
Here's two from the same report
Cataractectomy and hyperpotassemia. I used to always change these to cataract extraction and hyperkalemia but in these days of verbatim, I put them through as is. They just look stupid to me.
My ER report today -
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Difficulty pooping. 
Third report of the morning...
Doctor starts to spell patient's name...D - i - g, as in Zebra. Yes, he's an ESL and it's too early in the morning for this!
Get a copy of the op report!
Request a copy of that report or call the physician who performed the procedure. I was put under general for a procedure that should have been done under conscious sedation. I complained of throat soreness, and couldn't understand why. Hence, the OR report confirmed general anesthesia! Oh my gosh! How rude for that tech to say that to your husband! I have never heard of having a colonoscopy without at least some Valium preprocedure, but I guess it could be.
this was a preliminary report - sorry....sm
preliminary is what Dr. Perper just said........and they do think a combination of drugs got her........but won't know for about a month.
I read the report--sm
and this is what I gleaned from it.
First off, this doctor may be an orthopedic hand surgeon, but in this case, along with others, he was a *study researcher*. He and some colleagues, also *study researchers* read 117 reports, but they did not specify where these *reports* came from. (hmmmm). This was not something he had *discovered* on his own and through his own work as an orthopedic surgeon. This was something he *read.*
Anyway, his conclusion from *reading these reports* was, *A major risk factor for carpal tunnel is genetics.*
The very next sentence says, *Exactly what these genetic factors are is not known.* (hmmm)
Then he also says *The quality and strength of evidence supporting genetics or inherent risk factors was felt to be MODERATE.*
Moderate??? 117 reports?? With all the carpal tunnel cases in the United States alone, I really do not feel that 117 reports from unspecified sources is the end-all and know-all for saying that repetitive use does not cause carpal tunnel. First off, I would want to know who these reports were written by, and pointing to only a *moderate* strength of evidence does not convince me, either. Basically, I would need much more proof than this. AND I would wonder exactly how much money this doctor and his co-researchers were paid to come up with this *conclusion.*
But, this is just my opinion. I do my research too and if it doesn't sound right, it usually isn't. Thanks for the link though and for giving me another opportunity to scrutinize yet another empty claim.
Take it seriously and report to the person
you would think would be most instrumental in getting the assistance she seems to need.
I wish to report my hubby
for the crime of stealing the affection of our foster dog, Cedric.
DH is home sick and I think it's a scheme to spend time with Cedric (though he would never admit this!) to win Cedric's heart over to love only him.
How did I lose control ... LOL.
In this day and age..absolutely. I'd report it to someone.
`
do not wait - do something now -- report her
Before another family or child is scarred by this counselor you need to write a letter to the principal and to the school board documenting everything that has happened. If you let it go, it will continue and harm other children. I am all for making children accountable for their actions and sometimes feel that parents do coddle too much sometimes but in this occurence -- do not and I really urge you to do something about it and report it. If you stand by and let this continue then you are partially responsible -- more of us need to become involved and do something about things like this. Let us know what happens. Just document in writing everything that has happened and does happen.
Report length
The longer the better if it's by one of my favorites.
they can be put on your credit report...
I know for sure b/c I have one on mine. :(
Header on an ER report
I will never forget--
ATV versus Tree.
ATV lost.
Rates right up there with bus versus bicycle. Bicycle lost. Car versus semi. Car lost. Car versus pedestrian. Pedestrian lost.
I'd report her to her superiors.
I'd be into that principal's office in a hot minute, have that teacher, and her union rep right there and have her disciplined. That is a breech of confidentiality and by no means should she have done that; it is nobody's business what condition that young boy has or deals with every day.
The bullying needs addressed as well with the principal and those parents called, and then what you do is request he be switched to another school in the district or you'll take to the local newspaper.
I am so tired of these teachers thinking they can just speak to students any way they choose, and not expect any repercussions from it. I had a teacher tell my son that his "mother's sob story doesn't fly that you are adjusting to a new school." Well, I was hot! I set up a meeting and put her in her place, and the principal actually agreed with me and not her. I will not tolerate this any longer.
I am now wondering what to do about the fact that my son is being punished for swearing in the hallway to another student and has to serve a detention but the swearing occurred about a month ago. If that was the case, it needed to be addressed when it happened, not a month later. My son didn't even know what he was being called in about it was so darned long ago. These teachers need to understand that they are the ones that students are supposed to look up to, and this teacher in this OP's life obviously is not setting a good example. This just goes to show how this world has lots to improve upon including people in positions where they are impressionable on our youth. She was wrong, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. JMO.
Please report this to the police (sm)
This is threatening and dangerous behavior. he is not afraid to knock on your door or to leave a note. Please call the police and report this immediately.
GOOD REPORT~
My brother and his wife & son went to see them this a.m. and when they walked in Lindsay's room she was texting someone on her phone.. she actually, so they have said has worse injuries than Mikey, she messed up her spleen, lacerated her liver, had some internal bleeding & said they might have to do surgery, not sure about that yet, what they thought was a break was an old wound, not a new break.. Mikey's parents talked to the dr. this a.m. & said he would heal, had a collapsed lung, etc, but he is out of danger as far as whether he's gonna make it. so thanks for all the prayers and Thank God for them both going to be okay..
Reminds me of a GYN report I typed
was in her 80's and thought she was reaching for the KY jelly on her nightstand, but grabbed body wash instead while she was making whoopee. Poor thing had a terrible infection, hence her visit to the GYN. I still have to commend her for having you know what, plus KY jelly! Woohooooo! What a night, she must of had! Boy, did she pay for it in the end.
I would call the sheriff right now and report - seriously.
That is very, very unusual behavior and you need to make a record of it and protect yourself. Lock all your doors and be very, very cautious now. He knows you are alone now and vulnerable and who knows what he might do. Be careful!
According to news report today......sm
the reason it didn't pop up was because the system is not integrated and so this info would not have been found. I find it weird and scary that the state of Virginia found this man mentally ill and as a threat to himself and OTHERS, and STILL the system just let him walk off and back into the university system without any follow up on him.
Thanks to everyone and I am happy to report I have been demoted... SM
to handing out programs at the service, another part of this wedding I do not understand. Is this a normal thing, programs at weddings? Maybe I've just been out of touch for too long or I'm just too kuntry, but I've never heard of a guest book attendant or having programs at a wedding.
Ah well, I'm just happy that when the food is served, I'll be comfy at my table ready to eat and not standing by some silly book making people sign it!
if it does show up on your credit report sm
You could try to get it removed. Tell the credit agency to remove it because you don't owe the money, that you sent a certified letter within 7 days to cancel this and that legally you don't owe it. Check out the state attorney general's office. If it were me, I would not pay it. If it does end up on your credit report, i don't know if paying it will get it removed.
You're doing my husband's report? (nm)
F.R.E.E. credit report.com baby. LOL.
That guy rapping with his little rice burner is HILARIOUS.. I find myself singing that song in the car.
You may have to report it but not as sibling abuse (sm)
Child abuse and neglect by the parents that BOTH children live with. The 8 year old doesn't need to be punished, they both need to be taken care of. The thing is, as you know DHS is not always going to fix the problem and if the mother finds out it was you, she will probably not let you see your GS again. That is a problem. I am not sure. Does your son have any type of rights to visitation, etc? Can he not go to court and say that his child is not being taken care of appropriately? Where is the older child's father?
Report it to EBay. Did you use PayPal to
pay for it?? If so, maybe they can cancel the payment.
Did that report say how many people celebrate Christmas...
for religious reasons as opposed to it being just a secular holiday for them?
Op report won't note combativeness, etc. Just 'discomfort'

I had a report with a baseball stuck in a man's rectum -
when the nurses asked him why a baseball, he responded that his wife was not home and it seemed like a good idea at the time!!!
Just saw a report on news where they listed it as a dangerous drug
apparently caused something that looked like malignant polyps in the colon but other than that, people told not to take it on a first date, not good idea and you should maybe, starting to take for first time, wear dark pants. I guess that is so the orange diarrhea won't show through so much.
Wish me luck! I will report anything traumatic tomorrow! I am gooing SM
today after work. My hair is a FRIGHT!
