That's right. My first post is going to be about me fighting playing with the neighborhood hellians children.
First off, let me start by saying that I am not racist, I just disagree with the parenting styles used by people in the hispanic culture.
With that said: Lucy has recently had some looming fear/hatred for children. She doesn't lash out at them or anything, she just cowers in fear. If she is behind our gates, however, she goes freaking crazy. Being as how I am now unemployed, I was home today and had left the dogs out front to play (we have a gated front yard). I had a few windows throughout the house open and was amazed when I heard the voice of a demon child barking. Not my child with fur, but a human child. My child (Lucy) then started barking back. Lucy was going crazy like she does when kids pass too close to the house, jumping against the fence, hair on her back raised and all. I could faintly hear the demon child still barking, so I went to the door and quickly opened it. I opened the door to a little mexican girl, between 7 and 10 years of age (I'm bad with ages), turning to run at the end of my driveway. So I followed her home and told her parents. (Come on...does that really sound like me?) I called after her "Hold on just a second" in my sweetest voice. She stopped, turned back around, and walked back to stand at the end of the driveway. I walked out and calmed Lucy and Landon down, because even he was riled up at this point. Then I looked to the little girl. Again, in my sweetest voice, I said, "If I catch you barking at them again, I am going to open the gate and let them out and they will bite you." After that, she kinda bolted.
I am sick...and I need help...but the world made me this way. I can't afford therapy, so this is my rehab.
On a similar topic, the dogs have learned to open car windows. We decided to take the doogs with us to drop our movie off at a RedBox. Amanda ran the movie in while I drove around the Walgreen's parking lot with the kids. As I get to the end of the parking lot and start to turn around, I hear that bvoooooooooooo sound that the windows make. I turn around just in time to catch Lucy by the collar as she tries to bolt out the window. Locks on the windows from now on...locks.

You are such a racist. : )
This does not appear to be a how Hispanic people raise their kids. It is just how some kids are. You should be very glad that 10 to 16 year old John does not live around you. Kids are kids. Some will never tease a dog and some are brutal. I am in the second category.
One day, when I come visit you, we will discuss the whole animals = kids thing. : )
So, today I caught that little twit doing it again! We found out where she lives, and wanted to talk to her parents until we found out her father was a very large, muscular man. But if she steps near our property again, it's on!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You were scared to ask a father to make sure his daughter does not tease your dog? Come on now. If you are concerned that he may get mad, just make it sound like you are looking out for his child. Make it sound like you dont want her to get bit. I cannot see a parent getting mad at you for the heads up.
What do you think this very large guy will do if your dog does bite his daughter and you have not brought it to his attention?
This defeats the whole idea that pets=children. A parent would do it no matter how large the guy is. A pet owner .......
Okay...then look at it from the point of view that we do think of them as our kids. I know you well enough to know that if someone was picking on your kids, you wouldn't go to the parents first, but tell your kids to stomp them down. And if you think I'd believe for one second that you would tell their parents that your kids were gonna beat theirs up, you are freaking looney. Your only concern might be that one of your kids might get hurt. Part of us wants to see Lucy come home with the child's arm hanging from her mouth, the other part wants to make sure Lucy stays safe.
