[masterjointsmith]

We had a package picked up last nite from our side yard and the mother fucker left the gate open.

fast forward this morning

how do i make this shit right with the nieghbors they gave me my dog back and i took there bunny to the animal hospital but it was doa

[Jaerl]

Apologies and offer to buy another?

[iwantFUEGO]

buy them a new bunny for starters....

then apologize profusely

[thcbongman]

^^^^

With all the others.

[GHoSToKeR]

Ya, just apologise. Done and done.

[TX Girl]

How is your relationship in general w these neighbors?? If they know you are a good guy and you feel bad about it and know the circumstances about why your dog was out they will be more likely to accept your apologies and a new bunny when they are ready for one.
I'm sorry, that sucks, no one wants to have that on their conscience.

I've had the yard guy leave the side gate open before and I had no idea until until I saw the dog frolicking in the street, TG nothing like that happened. But anyway, these things do happen and you weren't beingneglectful. I hope it all works out ok.

[iwantFUEGO]

maybe some public lashings are in order for your poochie....






Totally joking...

[cygnustaxt]

either buy a new bunny for them or throw them some money for a new one and maybe a little extra for damages since im sure they were probably attached to it.

[206 DankySpanky]

this happens to me alot

[GHoSToKeR]

this happens to me alot

Thankfully it can only happen to the bunny once.

[halfassedjediknight]

yeah youre definately responsible, but i wouldnt just pick them up a new bunny.

someone suggested you talk to them and figure out what theyd like to do, so go ahead and do that.

ps how did the dog get to their bunny anyways? was it just frollicking in their front yard or something?

[sttomassmoker]

maybe you did them a favor. who really wants a rabbit?

[MacWQ33]

Giant bunny?

[halfassedjediknight]

maybe you did them a favor. who really wants a rabbit?

obviously the owners did! darrrrgh :)

edit: seemed like the dog wanted it as well.

[TheFatKid]

First of all, find out who delivered the package, report him to the company, and then go with everyone else's advice. Dumbass shouldn't have left the gate open if it was closed in the first place.

[206 DankySpanky]

Thankfully it can only happen to the bunny once.
haha
i mean my dog gets out alot and causes havoc in my neighborhood also
animal control knows him very well

[GreenLadyOfDankDowns]

Yeah, the kind that get as big as a great dane...


Well they don't get as big as Great Danes but there are giant rabbits. It's a breed. Flemmish rabbits, sometimes called Flemmish Giant rabbits, do grow rather large. Check this one out!

[TX Girl]

Danky.
Dude.
C'mon, now.

Please take care of that before your dog gets hurt, or hurts another creature.

[GreenLadyOfDankDowns]

I saw a couple in person at the State Fair one year. I thought I was tripping for a moment there! They are pretty cool though. I wouldn't mind having one for a pet. I'd teach it to walk on a leash and then walk it through the park where all the stoner kids hang out just to mess with them. :jointsmile:

[Kid Dynamite]

Many years ago i had a rabbit named Flopsy. One day my parents told me she had run away...



Did you have anything to do with this?

[206 DankySpanky]

Danky.
Dude.
C'mon, now.

Please take care of that before your dog gets hurt, or hurts another creature.

lol i take care of my dog. i live in a very uptight neighborhood tho where people are quick to call the athorities.

basically if my dog goes off of my property without me walking him animal control is called. everytime they come they just bring him back to my house and i laugh. the worst thing hes done was mess up a dog who came in my yard lol.

but really i do take car of him but my neighbors are just pricks

its probly because hes a pitbull:cool:

[meloncoly]

Check out the size of this bunny.

It's real.

[halfassedjediknight]

Check out the size of this bunny.

It's real.

love those feet!

[Skink]

Bunny stew???

[masterjointsmith]

by giant i mean a yard layed out and 25lbs and they are hella pissed they said there is nothing i can do to make it right and that i cant replace it because have had it since it was the size of his fist. I really feel bad about this but he wont even talk to me
there gate and the shed they kept the bunnny in were left open

[Nochowderforyou]

I hope you gave your dog a good ass kicking for doing that.

I would talk to them first, apologize, A LOT, and offer to buy them another bunny.

For now though, I would be giving that dog a nice punishment for the time being.

Learn from this mistake. Don't blame this on other people as you should have checked to see if the gate was closed. Don't say, "well everyday for the past so and so and no problems" that's why it's called an accident. They do happen, and you, the owner of this dog, is your reponsibility and your fault.

[meloncoly]

no point punishing a dog after they've already done something, they wont understand what they've done wrong.

take away it's toys?

[Frivolous248]

Ha, my teacher has that picture on her wall.

[EmoRebellion]

I agree, there is no way to punish the dog after the fact. You have to do it right after he comitted the act.

As for the OP, I would obviously take care of all expenses they had for the vet. Let them know you are sorry, and will be there when they are ready to talk. Dont get too pushy, chances are they wont want to talk to you right now. When the time comes offer to buy a new bunny.

wait why punish a dog for an accident? it only did what came natural.

[Nochowderforyou]

wait why punish a dog for an accident? it only did what came natural.

By my guess this is a domesticated dog, not a wild dog, and a dog living within a household, is domesticated.

If someone accidently runs down a child in the street, it's only an accident, so why punish them? :rolleyes:

I guess I'm the only one who feels the dog did something wrong. I suppose we should all let a dog run wild. It's a good thing it was a bunny, and not a hyperactive child, huh. ;)

[MacWQ33]

wait why punish a dog for an accident? it only did what came natural.

Yeah, leave the dog out of it. If I were a dog, and I saw a giant bunny...dinner is served.

I would punish the dog if he didn't go after the bunny. What if the bunny was a threat? LOL.

[EmoRebellion]

No one is saying that we should let dogs do whatever they want, but its too late for punishment. The dog is just not going to comprehend what he did wrong. If he had the bunny in front of the dog, and it was right after the attack he could punish all he wants.

You cant tell me that you believe dogs are as smart as humans (unless youre a PETA fuckhead), so comparing them to us would be like apples an oranges.

[GHoSToKeR]

Nochowderforyou, it's hard to say that the dog did something wrong. After all, it's brain is no more than a jumble of instincts, urges and perceptions. It doesn't have the necessary, umm, stuff to make judgement calls and it definately doesn't have any morals. :p

[thcbongman]

Yes, but with training, it can resist acting on his extincts. With my dog, I can call him, no matter what he's doing, and he'll come back. It's up to the owner to train it.

Sadly, some dogs actually work harder than humans who choose not to work and leech off others, so yes, in some cases, dogs are smarter than people out there who are abled bodies, have a brain, but choose to do nothing with themselves.

I'm not a PETA person, but I have more respect for animals than I do of human beings. Humans beings are capable of making their own choices, and look at the choices we make.

Just because other beings aren't as smart as other beings, doesn't make them a lower form of life. If that were true, I guess handicapped people are no good to us, so why have them around? We might as well just get rid of everything that isn't as smart as us special humans. :rolleyes:

It's embrassing when a handicapped person can work 40 hours a week, a dog can aid the blind, while us humans, are killing off this world and everything on it.

[206 DankySpanky]

def dont punish ur dog now. if ur gona discipline a dog u have to do it right after the fact. for example if it shits on the carpet u make sure he is lookin right at the shit as you punish him so he know why hes being punished, and dont wait a few days thats just wrong. its a dog. if u punish him now he wont kno why and he will probly just become scarred of u and that would suck

[higher4hockey]

you cant punish the dog for what it did. i dont care who you are , dogs are gonna go after bunnies if theres no one around to tell it not to. punishing that dog would be like punishing an infant for shitting its pants.


people that 'punish' their dogs shouldnt have dogs in the first place.

[halfassedjediknight]

usually dog toys are around the same size as a small bunny. so the dog probably thought it was a chew toy.

[EmoRebellion]

Uh, did you read the thread? This was a GIANT bunny.

[halfassedjediknight]

i read parts. sometimes i dont read them in full.

scuse me!

I believe you love and take care of your dog in general, but if he's getting out w/o you knowing then it is your responsibility to take care of that and fix however he is gettin out. Your dog shouldn't be off your property without you. I would be pissed if my daughter and I couldn't walk around in my neighborhood for fear there could be a loose pit free roaming. I know some nice Pits but I wouldn't take my chances w a random one, kwim?

And look at it like this- if your dog was out and hurt someone there's a good chance the law would have him put down and that's not fair to him when it coulda been prevented. How's he gettin out anyway? He a climber or a digger or got superman's flying skills or what?
O lord, I know I sound bitchy, don't take it like that. I just love animals almost as much as people. More than many people. :thumbsup:

[GHoSToKeR]

So was it a giant dog, or a giant bunny? Or were they both giant, kinda like Power Rangers?


I just love animals almost as much as people. More than many people.

And now I love you. :D

untrue, my dogs were trained by my dad, im not afraid to say he beats them for messing up. they run out of the house while the door is open, i dont care if they wanted to, they shouldnt do it. so they get smacked.

say a little child is outfront playing in their yard, your dog loves to chase bunnies and deer and shit and anything that movies. he goes after the baby because hey its just another chew toy...

you gotta dicipline your dogs, and if pain is the only form of teaching, so be it. out of fear comes loyalty.

you can say, i never beat my dogs, i never harm them in anyway... if you do, then your dogs own you, i can gaurantee they wont do jack shit you tell them unless you give them a bone for every command.

as of now, i havent had to lay a hand on my dogs since they were pups. they jsut know not to do stupid stuff like running after other animals and stuff unless im with them and they know its ok.

----------------------------------------------------

got carried away, basically i would do what everyone else said, it seems like theyre taking it pretty hard right now by not talking to you. just give it time, hopefully they arent assholes and.... i wont go there, best of luck to ya man.

[higher4hockey]

dan i think you're wrong. but hey to each his own, if you want to beat your dogs, thats your choice.

[uzybear]

Yeah, the kind that get as big as a great dane...


donnie darko?

[smoke it]

say your sorry, and buy them a new baby rabbit

omg dogs get out it happens-

people leave my gate open
digs under my fence (usually chasing some creature)
dumbass stoned friends let him out

he's trained and doesnt hurt anyone my neighbors r just uptight cuz he's a pit and they dont know him

[uzybear]

lol i take care of my dog. i live in a very uptight neighborhood tho where people are quick to call the athorities.

its probly because hes a pitbull:cool:



your pitbull just gets out and wanders around the neighborhood? sorry, i delivered for ups for awhile and i'd be with your neighbors on this one

[Professor Dan K.]

h4h do you think spanking a child is wrong?

[higher4hockey]

no i dont , but thats different, you can communicate with a child, you can actually say don't do this or else. with a dog you can't do that.

there are better ways to reprimand a dog than to hit it.

[206 DankySpanky]

my pit is 5 years old he's gotten out probly 6 or 7 times in 5 years its not like he takes a daily stroll down the street wtf

[bavet]

G13 + this thread = LMAO!:smokin: :D

[Professor Dan K.]

ive seen toddlers who own their parents, they can sit in a store and bawl there eyes out until they get what they want.

can you reason with that?

i see a difference of cummunication ill agree with you on that. im not saying i treat my dogs like a punching bag, im not some drunk who comes home and takes agression out on my dog. thats messed up.

like i said before i havent had to lay a hand on my dog for a very long time, they know what they can and cant do because i "spanked" them. same thing as a child. do something bad, punish them, they wont do it again.

my dogs are very loyal, i didnt get pleasure out of disciplining them, but im glad me and my dad did.

i see these obediance schools for dogs and stuff, its really not that difficult to get through to your dog. but hey to each his own, as you said. if your way works use it by all means.

much respect to you.

[hempplaya]

omg dogs get out it happens-

I'd be uptight to if i saw a pitbull on my property/loose in my neighborhood no matter who's it was. pits are dangerous dogs and require lots of work to make them friendly. not to long ago a lady in my town had two that she was training and one day they just started attackin her and she was in really bad shape. luckily a neighbor was around and actually shot the dogs because if nothing had been done the lady would've been killed. have you not read about the number of children killed by these dogs, other dogs killed by them, and the amount of attacks that they do? nothing against YOUR dog he may be one that is actually nice but you have to understand why these people fear your dog. for me it's the same thing with seeing rotweilers yes there are nice ones but the ones i've seem to run across that were loose were mean as hell. my brother actually got chased by two of them while walking and luckily the fuckin owner of them got to him before they started to really lay into him.

bottom line is, it's your dog and your responsibility as the owner to make sure he is confined to where he is supposed to be. I have two dogs and even though they won't hurt a soul and i'm damn honest about that, i still make it my duty as their owner to make sure the gate is locked and that there is no way they can get loose.

[206 DankySpanky]

wel i guess im a horrible person

[NextLineIsMine]

I would not immediately buy another rabbit. I'd first ask if you could speak with them, in person preferably. Ask them what they think you should do to make it right.


I dont think theyd enjoy being treated like children after the dog was run over "Apparently Ruffy died last night... BUT WAIT! we got you a BRAND NEW PUPPY YAY!"

go over there, sit down, have a serious sincere talk and if theyre rational theyll understand. If not get yourself a lawyer and smuggle your dog out of the country

[ValkyrieAg]

I'd first ask if you could speak with them, in person preferably.


I don't think discussing this to your neighbor over the phone is advisable.

[slipknotpsycho]

i agree with billion, ask them what you can do to make it right. maybe they don't want another rabbit o.0 maybe they'd get offended if you decided it was 'ok' to just replace the family pet with some random bunny after 'you killed it'... lol... maybe the father will be like "hey man, i just have to say thanks :thumbsup: i hated that fucking thing."

[Reefer Rogue]

awww :(

[Gatekeeper777]

I have 3 year old male chow chow.
when he phucks he knows it, gogs have an intelligence of a 5 year old child hence they sorta know right from wrong, you have to be the ALPHA or they will rule you and wont repect you. If that means kicking some k-9 ass when they get unrully and break house rules then so be it.
Usually he is very well behaved.
he knows whats allowed and whats not.

[MaryjaneAndHashley]

I'd go talk to them, apologize and ask them if they would accept another bunny.

I mean, what if you buy one and they dont want it for some reason..

[Skrappie]

It's embrassing when a handicapped person can work 40 hours a week, a dog can aid the blind, while us humans, are killing off this world and everything on it.

Whats really 'embarrassing' is when someone like you separates a handicapped person from "other humans" as if they belong to some other group of non humanoids. Thumbs down for that shit bro.:sadcrying

[Skink]

it is instint for a dog to kill a rabbit... You can't unbreed instinct... U can't hit a dog cause they are just going to get hurt and do shit like piss on the rug...

Buy them a Porshe??? Please people it's a rabbit not their first born... talk to them if you havn't yet,,, most they could do is take you to small claims court and charge you for a rabbit I doubt they could get you for pain and suffering but,,, if they did it can't be much...

[Up In Smoke 420]

You should have made sure your gate was closed and they should have made sure there bunny was locked up or w/e. So it's both your faults. Just talk with them and I wouldn't offer a new bunny.
