Hello all,
We've been living in our new house on 15 acres about 3 months now. About a week ago, a brindle colored 80 lb. dog appeared. He hung around for about three days and I finally had to feed him something. He made a wallow area in the dirt on our side porch and greeted me when we came home. He seemed like he was determined to become our dog. He would follow me throughout the property and was pretty good about staying in the fence line. He barked at the neighbors (who we don't get along with) when they would come home. I'm sure they didn't like it because they wanted our property also before we bought it. The woman's rich daddy never bought it for her though.
Well we came home late tonight and "Boy", my 9 year-old daughter called him, didn't come greet me on our driveway. On letting our other dogs out I found him lying behind our garage. I only found some blood which came from his mouth. I flipped him over and found he'd been lung shot with a small caliber bullet. He was still a bit warm but he was gone.
We had the police come out and they went to the neighbors abot 11:00 and rang their bell about 4 times and noone answered. They proceeded to walk around their yard with flashlights but noon came out. My wife and I know they were home and the police said it was kind of an admission of guilt that they didn't answer the door. It was like they went to bed early and could not hear the doorbell.
Well this is very upsetting. About 6 months ago I had to tell the woman next door to go home because she came over complaining that a piece of plastic blew from our construction site to her yard. She basically came over hollering at me. I told her I'd take care of it and told her to go home. I told her next time to call my builder and he was in charge of his subs not me. I also told her if she came and said hello and that she had a problem I would do anything for her but to come over hollering at me was bad manners and would not bring out the best in me. We haven't spoken since. Her husband never came over to see what happened either. She seemed to be more of the man of the house anyways.
Well, what should I do? Looks like of all the people in the world I had to pick out the worst possible to move next to. I'm already planting bushes on pur property edge to give us a little privacy and my wife wants me to build a fence to bring our horses away from them.
I don't want to do anything stupid but I am a little mad. Make that a lot mad.
How far would an old dog be able to go with a lung shot? How long does it take for rigamortis to start? What should I do about thse wonderful people?
