Yes this is so very true, as well as what the rest of what you said. Hubby and I were just talking about this and if no one wants to take action, it's going to keep giving those cowards more and more power to do what they wish without consequences.

Drake was shot!

If it makes you feel any better I agree.
Anybody ever heard the song You've got to stand for something? It's a country song that reminds me of my dad. A bit twangy for me so I just read the lyrics. But the point is that's how he raised me, not to back down when I believe in something. This a** hole neighbor of mine can try to get me to back down but it won't happen. There is nothing about kids playing with guns that is alright by me. You can say it's just a pellet gun, but does that matter? Will a kid know the difference? Doubt it.
BTW, did I mention the oldest kid out there was 8 years old and the youngest was only 3? The kid that shot Drake was 7.
IMO, some adults made a serious mistake. One of those kids could have been really hurt or worse. I can't tell you how grateful I am that Drake was as far away as he was.
I can't believe that hasn't happened. That seems to be the first call when the police get involved.
Speaking of police, I should say the 2nd officer that got involved at our request has been wonderful. The first one was a joke. For whatever reason I don't think the seriousness of the situation occurred to her. She took the nobody was seriously hurt, so no harm, no foul. I can only hope she won't make that mistake again.
So after almost a week we have some healing going on. 
I have to clean it everyday with a medicated soft brush and apply a granulating spray. Looks pretty good even if the treatment is drying out his skin a bit. He'll probably have a mark there forever, but hey his going to be okay.
The hole is just smaller than a dime but is looking smaller and more filled in everyday.

Good to know!....many in my circle here have dogs and we were talking about this and decided 100 hours of service at the rescue shelter would be the right thing for the butt head with the gun...

To me, that looks huge! I can't imagine how much blood there must have been.
I do too!!! I gaspedwhen I saw that! Yea, somebody's gotta pay.
Now you know why I didn't post pics sooner. It was bigger and deeper. And he was doing some serious leaking for about an hour.
Apparently the dad is in some kind of security and his job is at risk. Do I even need to say I don't care?
I wouldn't either. If he has that kind of job he shouldn't do stuff like that to make him worry about his job being at risk.
So he has a security job and freely lies about having any guns!
Is he nuts?!? That is just plain stupid and irresponsible.

Apparently. Every time he opens his mouth it gets worse.
He stopped by here today. He asked if we could work something out because he could lose his job. Rob just looks at him and says
You're just thinking of that now? He kept trying and all Rob could say was sorry but it shouldn't be a big deal, you were looking for a job when you found this one.

If he would have come to you right away and done the right thing by offering to cover the bills, checking in with you at least once or twice, making his kids apologize and witness the suffering, it could then be an option to work with him and leave the law out of it. It could then be a neighborly thing. But right now, he's just looking out for himself and trying to appease you over considerations for his job.
Exactly! I would have still be madder than hell but maybe willing to work with him. People make mistakes, I get that. It was his arrogant attitude that changed the rules. Instant distrust when a person has a it's just a dog attitude.
him. Now its "I'm sorry, my job is at risk, lets make sure I'm ok" not "I'm sorry, your dog was injured, is he ok?" Its all about concern for HIMSELF not for you guys and Drake! Sorry I have ZERO sympathy for him.
Have you heard anything with regards to the police report and action taken against your neighbors?
I have the police report. Picked that up the minute it was ready.
There are a few charges against him. Something about careless endangerment and a couple of others. I'd have to check exactly what they are. He has a court date May 16th, I'll be there. He has been a complete ***hole and we had to tell him to stay away or the police will be called. So far he has listened.
As far as the vet bills, we did have to proceed with suing for them. He wanted to work something out between us but he became a pest that we had to shoo away. His insurance company wants to settle. Not sure what we will decide. I would kind of like to see him in court and let him pay more attorney fees. Having his insurance pick up the tab for his stupidity is not sitting well with me.
I so agree here. He should have to pay out of his pocket for the vet bills. If insurance pays, he learns nothing!
