(C& from the IMs I sent a friend)

The people next door have a JRT that always attacks Kira. I was in the backyard with my cat Tafi (very old, she loves being outdoors though so I take her even though she's deaf/hyperthyroid/bad hind legs. I had charlie out there too because I knew that he would probably scare off any hawks or crows that decided she looked tasty.

The JRT gets under the fence, chases Tafi (who can barely run) and starts biting her. Charlie gets in his path when he does, which allows me some time to get there and Tafi to get away. But our yard is fenced in (which I hoped would protect her from strays!) and she can't jump it to get away. So she's cornered, Charlie's not aggressive so he won't attack the JRT, and I finally get there, kick the JRT while he's attacking Tafi, and the JRT goes and runs on the disgustingly dirty hill we have in the way back. He's gotten under the fence before and always attacks anyone who tries to throw him back over. And every time I went to hold up the fence so he could get back through HE growled at me, and their labxhound on the other side tried to bite me.

So I put Tafi in the shed, and removed the blocks and went to get the slip-on lead (the blocks we put on his holes he digs under the fence) and when I come back he's back in his yard, Charlie's looking very happy that he's gone, and Tafi won't stop shaking. D< Kira has scars COVERING her face from the thing. You can't go an inch on her muzzle without finding one. And my parents have refused time AFTER time about not letting me speak a word of this to the neighbor. UGH. Fucking bastards. The neighbors, my parents, and that retarded terrier.
