Some of these people are off their rocker. I talked to a friend yesterday. She has one crazy AC where she lives. He has something against her, pit bulls in general, actually I think its animals in general. But is always harrasing her and seems to not like Pit Bulls. same AC who poisons cats. Now he went and got the humane society on her. This is for no reason he got them involved after many months of harrassment. They stopped by out of the blue. The complaint was that she wasn't watering the dogs for one thing. So they checked it out. All the dogs water buckets were tipping full except one males, which he tried to consider "not having any water", the HS guy just turned and looked at him and said "Why are you bringing me out here saying these dogs don't have water? When the buckets are full and its clean water at that!!" AC couldn't really answer. Then they got on to feeding them more. The dogs are well fed, not starved not skinny. But he insisted you should have more weight on them. Said you should never be able to see a dogs ribs. Or backbone. She has a big male and you can't see his backbone or ribs, he's right at a good weight, not fat, not skinny. She's had him conditioned before at a lower weight, but this heavier weight (by 2lbs) works better for him and no bones what so ever can be seen at all. A couple of females who are a little overweight, one is overweight and the other just isn't in shape. But he is saying they all need to be fed more. He said they weren't starve but could be fed more. Coming from HS that makes me lol, I watch TV I haven't just seen a pet bull or a dog a little overweight, I've seen an extremely overweight female blimped out. This dog was living in an SUV with the owner and the people the apartment were complaining that he doesn't take care of or feed the dog. This dog was so fat. The officer said she looks okay but maybe you should feed her more or something like that. My jaw dropped. Just because people complain they'll go along with anything to look like they are doing their job. The dogs he was most concerned about were two males that are in pretty good condition and have a show soon. He said if these were working dogs he'd expect that because they usually a little skinny. That upset her and she said excuse me these are working dogs and I also show them. "You got any proof of that?" So then she had to pull out ribbons and registration and stuff like that just to prove she wasn't lying. How ridiculous, either they don't like the weight or its a fine weight. Shouldn't matter what they are used for. He said well really a dogs waist should meet its ribs, in other words it should be one solid length. I was like no way! That is obese!!! If you look on any dog food bag it shows you that this is overweight and what an underweight dog looks like, then ideal which HAS a waist. Just about any vet will agree that a dog should have a waste, not a solid mass or a sunk in stomach. To make matters worse she has a week to put weight on all of them because he's going to check back, not sure whats going to happen from here because she still has the show and must condition the dogs. He acted like it was ok after the working dog part, but we'll see. The AC guy hates the dogs, so this is his way of making her and them pay.
