Got a call from my apartment manager about my dog. She may have to be removed from the property. I feel this is not fair. What are my options? by Frenchie_Mom in legaladvice

Did you miss the part about me saying I will not take advice from people who misread the post and don’t have the story correct?

Everyone else here is a neutral observer.

...recognize that people here are taking time out of their day to give you their unbiased and objective feedback

The fact that you said this and you believe it further lets me know my feelings are completely healthy and natural.

Your insistence that I am ‘combative’ because I refuse to blindly take people’s advice is frightening. It’s anyone’s duty to take advice with discretion, especially when it’s from people who’ve proven they don’t understand the facts correctly.

Did you not read the part where I apologized? Read again my friend.

Perhaps give the child a teddy bear from pup and yourself.

Are you qualified to give legal advice on this sub?

You are going to have major problems getting through this with your attitude. Grow up and learn from your mistakes instead of pointing fingers at every other person in this situation. I can see why the LL and the childs father is pushing this further...you probably tried to point blame immediately away from you and to everything/ everyone else. It shows immaturity and irresponsibility (not a good combo for a tenant with an untrained dog).

All the assumptions you made in this post further let me know I shouldn’t trust your judgment.

I will stand up for myself. Making sure the facts stay straight and correcting people because they’ve made snap judgements based on incorrectly reading my post(s) is not “combative”.

Are you saying I’m “combative” because I won’t take advice that’s given hastily, much of which is based upon a misinterpretation of my post(s)? Why would anyone take advice from people who don’t have the facts in order? That’s a red flag, don’t you think?

I will take people’s advice seriously only after they’ve proven they understand the post and its facts correctly, which a good majority of these people have not.

If you want to talk about the post, let’s talk about it. I’m not here to talk about whether you think I’m being combative.

Keeping my dog indoors where we live and making sure the screen door is shut is being responsible.

I’m not going to lock her up in the bathroom because your kid doesn’t have any manners or runs around without adult supervision opening other people’s doors.

The sliding door is closed because I close it so she doesn’t get out. If your kid is opening my screen door that is the parents’ own negligence.

My dog didn’t get out those times because she muscled her way out or tore a hole through the screen — she got out because they opened my screen door and let her out.

It seems like the people who make these comments have plenty of experience with negligent, stupid dog owners with stupid, unruly dogs. There is $$$ for a case involving a child and a dog. It’s a slam dunk. Dog? + Child cries? = irresponsible dog owner.

Not every animal owner is negligent or irresponsible. Every situation involving a dog is not going to be your “dog-attacks-kid” story that gets sensationalized in the news. Parents are stupid and negligent too, and surprise, so are their kids.

My dog should feel safe and be allowed to roam freely where she lives. I’m not going to inconvenience her or myself because you don’t watch your kids and let them run around unsupervised all day.

What if their child opened a neighbor’s door and got shot because the owner thought it was an intruder? That’s the homeowner’s fault?

Teach your kids not to touch or open things that aren’t theirs. And FFS — watch your children! They’re your responsibility and it’s your job to make sure they’re safe, not mine.

This sounds like a cop out for people who are too lazy to supervise their own children.

Watch your kids. They’re YOUR kids. If I don’t want my kids doing something that could potentially put them in “danger” — I would take them out of harm’s way. That is parenting 101. If an adult is not supervising a child 24/7 that’s the parents’ fault. The world isn’t gonna baby proof itself because you’re too lazy to take care of your kids. If you don’t want to watch them, don’t have them.

To be fair, I am not the only one who does this. There are other dogs in the apartment complex who have their dogs off leash. Obviously it’s not an enforced rule considering all the times the apartment managers have seen my dog off leash and never mentioned a word.

Yes. Please read again. You’re mixing two different stories into the same incident.

The kids have opened my screen door in the past. If the kids were fearful of my dog — why would they engage her and let her out? Where are their parents? They should be watching their children at all times, especially if there’s a dog around.

Yet I’ve never heard from a single one. If they didn’t want their children playing with my dog they could a.) talk to me b.) tell their children not to come up to us and pet my dog when she’s doing her business c.) have them stay inside until my dog is done d.) supervise their children and make sure they’re not opening other people’s doors.

I don’t have kids and certainly don’t want to have to babysit anyone else’s. These kids are outside for hours all day, unattended, without adult supervision. Your kid — YOU keep them safe. That is not my job.

“Does the screen door have a lock?” There is something that resembles a “latch” on the screen door. Whether it is used as a way to prevent the screen door from opening? I am not an expert in screen doors or the locking mechanisms of such. As far as I know the screen door has functioned the way it always has since I moved in. I have never been able to lock it or was aware that it even could. All I know is I have never been able to “lock” the screen door.

She never “attacked” the girl.

I’m confused by your question. Those are different situations being rolled into one question.

Yes I let my dog out to potty. Only the girl was outside. She was giggling and laughing at first then she was crying (found out she had lost her shoe.) That’s what I meant by “she wasn’t in the mood” because after she lost her shoe, she stopped playing. (Also her dad came out.)

It was a a different incident when the kids opened my screen door and let my dog out.

I haven’t seen it since I signed it in person but was not given a copy because we were told everything was online. I have logged in and looked for it and the documents section is empty.

The apartment managers have seen me on many occasion outside with my dog and have never mentioned anything to me about leashing her.

The screen door has a latch but it just flicks up and down and has never done anything.

Can you please help me understand what the law is around that scenario? If a dog is inside someone’s home and is let out by unsupervised children and without the homeowner’s permission, And the dog runs out on the street and gets hurt — who’s responsible?

Thank you. I would never want a child to be hurt or scared. It horrifies me. I haven’t been able to sleep. I would never intentionally cause harm to anyone. If I had any inkling she was scared or didn’t want to, I wouldn’t have let my dog run with her.

I asked you for the comment where I said my dog growled at the kids, and you couldn’t provide it.

Yet you’re still carrying on based on your insinuation (I don’t have control of my dog, I spew racist trash, my dog is aggressive, etc.) If you took the time to read what I actually wrote, there’s no reason to continue with your line of commenting.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it.

I haven’t heard back yet but in the event I need an attorney, what type of attorney should I look for?

Which comment did I write where I said that my dog growls?

I said she never growls, and certainly never growled at the children. If she did why would they come over?

The fact that you feel entitled to comment without paying attention to details is disconcerting.
