update on the vicious dog

[threeplusfire]

The dog got out of its yard this afternoon. Apparently there is also a second dog at the home. So they were both running wild, threatening the pets and children of the streets.

My mother went next door and pounded on the door, but there was no answer. So she called the animal control officer, who just happened to be up the street looking for a bat in the middle school. The officer came down and captured both dogs. They are in dog lockup tonight, and you can bet it will cost that ratfucker neighbor a good chunk of change to get them out.

The unincorporated area of Travis county doesn't have many animal regulations. That's an issue being taken up with the legislators and citizens this year. I can only hope they do start registering dangerous dogs, and tracking the history of animals that harm people or other animals.

I feel a huge sense of relief that my mother's other cats are safe tonight.

It was like that moment when Galadriel refuses the One Ring. My mother says she has passed the test.

I'm just sickened by what happened. Still.
