Well, I’m thankful the dog passed the test the other night. I had to try, with me in the yard instead of my kids. It really would have been unfortunate to defend myself in front of the neighbor kids.

I feel sorry for this breed, which continues to endure the ugly and more careless side of our human race.

I will talk to the landlord as politely as I can. He does have the power to change this situation. A pit bull should not be in this type of neighborhood, full of children, with an unfenced yard.

Then, I plan to think about this less.

The nice doggy next door has passed your test. When you snuck up on it and thumped a bucket it reacted toward you. What did you expect, for it to bring you the newspaper?

The nice dog, like all other nice dogs, should be leashed or fenced at all times outside. Call animal control if you desire. That should get the neighbors to keep their nice doggy on a leash.

Good luck!

Man, what a tough situation WeedShark. As unfortunate as it is to you and your family, I am glad it is not me. Hang tough and use your head (I am sure you will). We would all hate to see you end up getting the bad end of the stick.

I love dogs, my wife loves dogs, and my kids love dogs. However, and my wife and I and our neighbors have discussed this, I don't think that dog would last in our neighborhood. I would have to race my neighbors to be the first one on the scene of its demise (humanely or otherwise). I hate meddling in other people's business, but pitbulls are just a fatality waiting to happen.

It's such a lousy situation, I hate to even think about it.

Labs and goldens may bite more people than pits but there are 1000 labs for every pit. also the damage done when a pit attacks is severe. 11 people in the twin cities have been mauled by pits this year with one dead. several were critical. all required extisive hospitalization. Pits should be eliminated as a breed!

How is this constructive talk for Weed Shark. It offers no help to him. This is just another negative attack on pit bulls. If you don't have something positive to say, I didn't think it belonged on this forum?

Any updates on the nice doggy next door Weed Shark? Any maulings? Deaths? Has the doggy rolled over and let you pet it's belly yet?

What the media doesn't report is the numbers of people bitten by labs and goldens. If we were told the numbers from those two breeds, would we consider banning them as well? After all, isn't a bite a bite regardless of breed?

I'm not attacking Goldens or Labs, as I love both breeds. I just bring it up to make it a point. Also, a pomeranian killed a 6 week old child this last spring. Why not ban them as well?

Shark --

Any new updates?

The dog wasn't licensed with the city, so there is a deadline for that. This only means shots will be current.

I’d been dreaming about buying an American Water Spaniel pup. Seems like a Pit Bull snack, right now.

What bothers me most...I can’t protect the kids when I’m not home.

Any dog can be "bad" if they are raised and treated improperly. That includes all breeds.

However, pit bulls have proven that even when raised properly, they can go "bad".

I have a large dog (black lab/husky cross). I do not expect all my neighbors to have to deal with him being loose or in their yard. Even though friendly, any dog can be intimidating. Yes, he is loose at times (legal where I am in the yard)...but never leaves my yard and I am always with him.

If you have a large dog, your neighbors may not like it and be fearful of him...no matter what the breed. You have to respect that. And, pit bulls are worse due to their nature and the bad press. If you don't like it, then don't get a pit bull. I know you love your dog, but you have to respect your neighbors and put them first.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
