Own The Doge

GM ~ last night my psycho neighbor threw open her apartment door to let her dogs out off leash as I was coming into the building from a dog walk (I have to walk right by their apartment when I come in) and their dogs attacked mine. 

We just got back from the vet because Xochi has been limping since. Her and I go to the same neighborhood vet and I told him the whole story and drama. He is about as pissed as me. Glitch is who fought the dogs off is unharmed after a check because she's a fucking tank, but unfortunately Xochi has a broken foot probably. We will get an xray tomorrow when the tech comes. 

Last night immediately I reported it to the landlord. I also am going to tell every single abuela, store owner and the shelter I rescued Xochi from. I hope they leave the building because this isn't the first time she's done this to me. 

All I gotta say is leash your fucking dogs and NEVER hurt my dogs.

UPDATE pt1: X-Ray tech found time to come today. I live in a walkeable neighborhood with like a little vet clinic right around the corner that doesn't keep xray gear there and CDMX has traveling xray techs with portable xray machines which was super slick and honestly brilliant way to set up services.

He did xochi's xray. His toe is definitely broken like super broken as can see in pic which I'm going to make art of later. 

Xochi has to be put in anesthesia for them to set it so we are going to neuter him at the same time so he just has to recover once from 2 surgeries instead of doing the toe then neutering him later. 

I will have to keep him sedated for like a week at least after cause he is so active and doesn't settle to help it set. From there it will take a while for it to heal but he will be able to do more.

I talked to my landlord, sent him the xrays and he understands my anger and we had a long talk about it. I said I'm not pressing charges, I believe in a civil society so I won't retaliate no matter how angry they make me. I'm going to ask them to pay the vet bill and I'm going to insist that the dog be kept on leash whenever her door is open. 

I know I could press for more but I also have an aggressive dog since my dog is a former fighting dog so empathize with the dog. Which is why my dog was on a fucking muzzle and why their dog didn't get hurt. 

He said the building will discuss it all, because each apartment is a seperate owner, but the rule has always been dogs on leash in the commons area and I said I know that's how most buildings operate.

I just prefer they leave the building because I honestly don't feel safe living next to someone who has such a disregard for the safety of their dogs and others, but since I'm not an owner I just have to wait for my landlord to negotiate the issue, but at least how it's all working out I feel like the issue is being dealt with without escalating by involving police. 

However, I'm going to be super extra cautious leaving my apartment in and out and Glitch will be unmuzzled with my vets consent for the foreseeable future going in and out of the building because protecting me from violence is exactly why I have her.
