Ok Bobby J, I guess I will chime in now. Yes, I am well aware of the chase and the fugitive. The man hunt continued through private properties. Including mine. I am working with the sheriffs department to find out who, but someone seemed to have pepper sprayed two of my older dogs. Both over 13 years old and both in a fenced yard unable to attack anybody.
To make matters worse, whomever did this to my boys did not put us on notice. When I came home Wednesday night, as usual, I loved on my dogs, showering them with hugs and kisses. I was then overwhelmed with buring in my eyes, nose, ears, and entire upper body. I noticed that my hound dog could not open his eyes. I them could not open mine.
Rachel called the sheriffs office to find out info, while I showered off. Big mistake as pepper spray runs and activates with the addition of water. After several hours we were in touch with the proper men at the sheriffs department. They then told me not to shower and to use cold rag to get the spray off of my face. A bit late.
We were not put on any notice that they sprayed my dogs and that they thought a suspect was on our property. We are still working with the authorites to find out more info. We are greatly disturbed over this issue.
However, I can not say who did this as the sheriffs office has yet to confirm that they were involved.....
as of last night, the suspect was still at large according to the sheriffs department.
This makes me so mad about what happened to your old dogs. My dog is nearing 13. That is the way the cops are here, they do not own up to anything they do like that. Every time it is justified. I hope you took care of them and that they are ok. Poor pooches.
