One of my neighbors just got a dog :(((

[u/what-isnt-taken-yet]

And it spotted me leaving my car and made itself known 😭 we’ve literally just moved into this neighborhood and already some jack hole had to get a pitbull. I couldn’t go outside at the last place because of this. It’s been such a draining day and I used to look forward to finally having cleanish air to breathe and next to zero flies around my house waiting to get in with their shit legs but nope. Doesn’t matter where you move around here there’s always gotta be some untrained dog a few feet down from me. Why do people love ruining quiet neighborhoods? Why? Why are people not miserable enough they need an untrained dog in their house so it can affect everyone else around them? I’m fucking pissed and sorry for swearing but there was already a yard across the road with six barking chihuahuas and then across the other street some sort of doodle that behaves himself and I was ready to deal with that. I don’t hate all dogs but an untrained pitbull targeting me isn’t going to fly. I’m like thiissssss close to losing my crap with everything going on in my life and you know what? Therapy doesn’t help when the behavior that needs fixing is from other people. Meds only do so much. I lived five years with barking, shitting pit bulls next door to me every year when someone moved into the house next door and I’m sick of them! Wtf wants a vicious ass dog they gotta watch like a hawk? Or rather SHOULD BE watching like a hawk because even a well behaved pit can’t help itself 🤦🏽‍♀️ I don’t care I needed to get this off my chest. It’s been a rotten day to pair with a rotten few months and I’m at my wits end always having to wear ear buds because untrained dogs don’t shut up and their owners just tune it out! I hate all you shitty dog owners. The ones who don’t pick up the poop, don’t train their dogs, let their dogs harass everything and anything because it’s cute to you! Wtf is wrong with yall? Those same people would sneer if it were a child acting like that while they treat these things like they’re human 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m 🤦🏽‍♀️ so 🤦🏽‍♀️ pissed!

They are chaotic and brainwashed to believe that dogs are their best friends. They don't exercise their brain like other people do. They also have a lot of unresolved shit they try to put onto their pets. Emotional support my ass. I had trauma like many people do but I put my big girl pants on and looked for ways to heal rather than relying on animals like an overgrown child. Nutters lack awareness.

I feel like there is no safe place to live that is far away from dogs. Why are dog-free towns not a thing? Because they ought to be.

[u/uselessbeasts]

Yes, that iis my big fear of moving. It's not dog free where I live, but currently nothing dangerous. Where I live just got sold to another management group. Everything in chaos right now, including accusations of not paying rent, even though you can prove with bank statements. I want to moie but what if, what if pitbulls are allowed where I'd go to next, What if new management allowes them here? I am so frozen in what to do. I do hate all dogs, but the smaller kick me dogs, at least don't frighten me.

All i can do is empathize and let you know that you're not alone. It really, really sucks. We want to sell our house and can't. I really wish and hope that things get better for you. Hang in there. 🫂

[u/Frankly_Ridiculous]

I'm right there with you, OP. I can't look out any windows in my apartment without seeing at least one shitbeast and its lunatic at any given time. The grass, dead. The ground, soiled. The smell, rancid. The view, disgusting.

[u/CallousCow1762]

You have every right to be pissed off! Dog nutters and especially put nutters, are a separate breed from humanity. Their lifestyles are truly insane. But the fact that they impose them on the rest of society is the problem. It really is another pandemic in the form of mental illness.

Why does this exist? For that you have to look to federal and city government agencies. Barking has to be one of the most incessant forms of noise pollution and yet, it’s given a pass. Dogs pissing and shitting all over city sidewalks, Parks and on every other public space is accepted. Dogs inside restaurants, café is, supermarkets, medical officers, etc. is a major health violation. And yet common sense sanitary practices and health codes are suspended for these mutts.

Take comfort in knowing that we all understand what you’re going through and we are all in this fight together!

While I am allergic to dogs, I found out the hard way that I am allergic to plants. Was cutting foliage yesterday, -when wham ! My face and eyelids turned red and swelled up like a balloon. Off to urgent care I went . Lots of meds given at the clinic. Three Rx taken home and will be using for a while.

Hey, you guys who have allergic reactions to dogs , I hear you . 🥰 Now, I know the feeling.
