Why would you room with such a douche to start with?

or was he not like this before signing the lease?

 

Or I just don't feel like causing problems that will last 10 months. I don't think anybody here quite grasps this concept.

And Nicole, no he wasn't nearly this bad before signing the lease; he had annoying tendencies (the loud music and talking nonstop being the two that stick out in my mind), but he wasn't an outright self-centered douche.

 

All I'm going to say is if everyone knew that dog had an aggressive history(not all pits are evil like many think) it should've never been in the same room with another dog, especially a puppy. And not sure if they're sharing the rope or they each had their own, but that's another dangerous risk for them.

Roommate 1 doesn't sound very responsible period, but he should of at least paid half the vet fees.

And no dog owner should keep their dog in a little cage like that, if you do shame on you.(not talking about reaper, just anyone in general)

 

A little clarification here: by "dog-aggressive history", I mean she'd attacked her old owner's neighbor's yappy little furball several times (I know of three times). The same yappy furball had a history of standing outside the fence barking at the boxer/pit and generally antagonizing her, so it wasn't entirely unjustified.

But yes, they had been sharing the rope; until Friday, both the boxer/pit and puppy had had no problems with each other, the boxer/pit never showed any signs of aggression towards the puppy (I've read several books on the body language of canines), and they played together on a regular basis (most of the playing involved either chasing each other or playing tug-of-war with a rope toy, which is what they were doing when the attack happened).

Yes, in hindsight, it could have been prevented, but anyone can point out the seemingly obvious in the past when given current information. It's referred to as "The Historian's Fallacy".

 

btw you're always wrong

 

NO U

 

I also think that places that have those rules where you can't have any type of pit or pitmix is total BS I have a purebred pit and a pit mix neither of them have EVER been aggressive/mean or showed any signs of it. They are giant lap dogs who act like babies the one was scared of his own shadow for the longest time.

IMO Roommate #1 needs to go and Pay half if not more of the vet costs.

 

Yup, I agree. My friend up in PA had a purebred pit; he was the biggest, dumbest, friendliest dog you could imagine The dog in question, like I said, isn't a bad dog; she's just apparently dog-aggressive through and through.

And like I said, nobody's talked to him about the vet bills yet. Personally, I'd be happy seeing him pay half the bill, but knowing him, he'll refuse saying it's not his fault his dog attacked a puppy. More than likely my girlfriend will have to take him to court and will probably collect the full amount plus court costs since he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on IMO

 

from a legal point the dog wasn't suppose to be there anyway if the apartment complex doesn't allow it, if this goes to court the apartment complex may get involved and that will be a nightmare, the amount of lawsuits from dogs in apartments is sick, hense the bully bread ban in most places (dobies, pits, boxers, etc...)

side note, the dog may have just been giving the puppy a correction for something that he was doing, but because of the strength bit too hard, dogs give corrections just like people do.(i wasn't there to see it) most dog fights are not really fights just one telling the other that is too much or no.........wait....im not thread jacking never mind. back to topic

 

I grew up with two full-size (65lbs and 75lbs) purebred boxers that didn't like each other getting near their food; I know the difference between a corrective little snap and cleaning blood off the walls. Trust me when I say the boxer/pit wasn't just giving the puppy a little corrective nip; the boxer/pit was trying to get at the puppy's throat.
