If you have a dog

[TomK]

Quick update. I was attacked yet again by the neighbour's dog this evening while trying to mow my lawn. Encouraged by its new buddy, a large boxer mix which also joined the attack, I decided discretion was the better part of valor. I can no longer go into my yard and feel safe nor can anyone walk in the street outside without fear of attack.

The good news is the property manager is now aware of these attacks (as are the police and the humane society). The neighbour's lease runs out at the end of March and the property company were not going to renew it, but also said if there was one more incident they would be looking to evict as soon as they possibly could. Today's attack is hopefully that last incident and I have been in contact about it (they also now have stuff in writing about the previous incidents). From what I understand there's a clause in the lease that allows this quick eviction but I'm not entirely sure about that, and am also not sure if Hawaii law allows that. In any case, they may be out soon or at the very least out in a couple of months. Maybe then I can get out into my own yard again and the rest of neighbourhood can enjoy walking in the street without the fear of being torn to pieces.
