I really don't think the cat has any issues, like I've seen it pooping in my plants, and he seems fine.

The more you tell us the more upset I get.

I know I didn't see what happened, but all the accounts from people that supposedly did, sound like a load of bull.

So Lady was in your yard when you left, and in your yard when you came home, and the only person that claims that Lady jumped the fence is some 18 year old that says Lady didn't give a warning, nothing, but just jumped the fence and attacked? Bull! It doesn't make sense. If it doesn't make sense, it's not true.

Fight this Bella. I'm not a legal expert, but I really believe you have a case. In fact, if you fight it, I'd sue this Lady for your lawyer bills, and the trouble she's caused.

I'd love to see her explain to a judge how she put Lady, a dog she's terrified of, back in your yard after she was done attacking her cat. Bull! I'd never approach an animal I'm terrified of. If an animal was attacking one of my animals, I'd be kicking, clawing, biting, punching, anything to get that animal off mine. I would not be approaching it, grabbing it by the collar and putting it back in it's yard. Hell no!

So mad about this. So very mad.

Judy, if you decide to take a trip, pick me up on the way. I want a piece of this too. :)

So good news, I have the woman I used for obedience classes on my side, she said she would write letters and if need be testify. Not only is she willing to testify on Lady's defense, she is willing to go on record as a behaviorist to talk about the natural instinct of terriers and all other dogs. One small step...

Yay

Wow, I'm late to this thread. I'm aghast at this situation to say the least. No it doesn't add up at all.

I must have read that wrong, the owner of the cat cat put lady back in the fence?
Well that doesn't say much for her blood lust idea, now does it?
The story just doesn't add up. It makes no sense.
There is something being left out or something completely unknown.
Good, I'm glad you have the obedience trainer on your side.
Lady has a character witness.

From the standpoint of an investigator it is, at best, a confusing explanation from the injury to the cat to Lady being returned to the yard.

I'm still pondering the options.

Judy, write up a list of questions that need answering and scenarios that need investigating and people who should be interviewed.

No problem - if ONLY Bella weren't so far away...

Believe me, I can hit the ground running with no prep and my instincts take over from there. I go where the witnesses lead me.

But, yes, I have a Doctor's appointment tomorrow so I'll sit there, skip the sports magazines and work on a list.

Exactly, from the standpoint of someone who sees upwards of 15-20 dogs and cats per day (and that is just me and my Vet, not to say anything of the others) for over 12 years.
I can count on my fingers and toes the number of cats we've had in attacked by dogs.
They are few and far between.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm sure there are many we don't see.
But cats are pretty formidable opponents, and they are fast.
And the first thing my dogs do when they see another animal is bark.
But yet Lady said nothing?
It just seems that someone is being really dodgy.

Could you take a week's vacation and fly there?

Honestly - I need two days. I already looked into air fare. It's too far to drive - 18 hours, give or take.

Sure, one connection if Bella is near where I think she is.

Or I could stand on my roof and flap my arms real fast -

No, I pretty much burned it out flying around here all day -

Oh, I thought my neighbor's barn was burning, but it was the straw on your broom

Does this Lady effort need donations?

Yes, the very same dog that she considered a blood thirsty baby killer, she called by NAME and took by the collar and led her back into the fenced yard.

Right... She's terrified of my baby killer, but trusts this UNKNOWN dog enough to take by the collar and lead it into the yard?
