i think my dog bit some one today
« on: 03 August 2009, 21:01:02 »

we have to watch for the postie as our dog snatches it and even sometimes tries to eat the letter box flap, our postie knows and is careful, but the dogs are in the kitchen when we are out so its not a problem then, but i was in the back this afternoon when i heard the letterbox and a shriek, i thought it was the kids buggering about tbh and thought nothin of it, about 2 mins later i came thru and found one of those bacgs the charities use for old clothes on the floor in shreds, i put 2 n 2 together n thought he must have got someones fingers, ouch  :-/ :-/, he is half staffie n half what ever, is a softie really!, i looked out of the window and saw an older couple delivering leaflets but the woman seamed to be cradleing her hand, they delivered a couple more leaflets before they left and this was before i could get to them to ask, i think he did get her hand, any one any ideas where i stand, i dont have beware of the dog sign as i know that means i am accepting the fact my dog might bite, i believe all dogs may bite. but i didnt have a sign saying no junk mail (have now tho), any thoughts, i can predict when the postie is there but not when some fool shuvs fingers thru the letter box

They should have knocked.
She may have caught her hand taking it out of the letter box and it wasn't the dog.
I would advise getting a metal letterbox for outside or over the inside letterbox

We have a lockable external letter  box since we found out the nosey old battleaxe neighbour 2 doors down was peering in our letterbox and the knob-jockey attached to our house was pulling our post out of our letterbox!!!!!

it's tricky - our dog used to leap at the letterbox flap and hang from it when he heard it going!! then he'd tear into the mail - but never bit anyone (thankfully) - if i were you i'd get one of those cages you fit around the letterbox - maybe the old biddy just got a fright and won't complain - but it'd be a different stiry if a kid was putting some leaflets through the door - you know what parents are like  :y

ps - check your contents insurance - you'll be covered for personal liability anyway if they try to sue you  :(

Can I borrow your dog? I'm sick of crap being pushed through my letterbox. I've got a sign in the window but I'm guessing that by time they've traipsed down the path they must just think "crappity smack him" and put it through anyway.
