What would you do about this situation?
There are some people who live sort of across the street from me who can't seem to control their dog. Oh they've thrown up some metal sheeting and some bricks around the bottom of their chain link fence to keep him in, but it's not working. This dog is always coming over to my house (and all the houses on my street) scaring my cat up onto the roof, and barking. I've had to get the ladder out several times to get my cat down off the roof. Last night, I had gone to sleep at around 10:15 and I woke up an hour later to loud barking. I knew the dog was out there, so I grabbed a long stick to scare it with, or hit it with if it turned on me, and ran outside. It heard me coming and took off, but then I was wide awake again and it took me a long time to fall back asleep.
So, should I call animal control or what? Suggestions, advice, comments?
