Gberke: They are all friendly and well behaved. I have let my kids stop to play with them. 2 of them are puppies...probably 6 months or so.

I live on Linderman and see the 3 dogs playing on their own front lawn but never leaving it. Why not stop by and introduce yourself to your neighbor? If you have a valid concern, you should say something to her. As far as I know, there are no laws saying a dog must be leased on it's owners property. Again, I can look out my own front window and see these dogs...never once have I seen them in someone else's yard.

OMG I was just thinking of the same neighbor when I read the caption. I see this all the time and it is nasty. I plan on calling the dog warden to complain.

You're the law. Post time, date, location... and you might bring a baggie to your neighbor... yes there is a law. And are these pitt bulls not friendly and otherwise well behaved?

I have seen her with those three dogs off leash. Every dog can have their moments, they love to escape, check out the neighborhood. I had my Chewie bust past me at the front door, run down Linderman towards Washington Ave with "Born Free" theme music playing in the background, and me screaming like a maniac for her to stop, but when you see them on a daily basis, off leash, with the owner watching as they crap on OTHER PEOPLE'S lawn...that's just wrong.
I've caught two stray dogs, one I tied to the front lawn and waited for the owner to drive buy in a panic, he made it home. The other I turned over to the warden, fate unknown. We should all be good neighbors and watch out for each other's kids, pets and property, and if that means calling somebody on their crummy behavior then so be it.
Thanks Joe.

Now I know who you are! Just wanted to make sure it wasn't about her. She is an escape artist, and neighborhood roamer at times.

Kingston Neighborhood Watch -- I am not referring to your dog. I do remember the encounter between my dog and your dog, but luckily you and your wife were right nearby, and the confrontation happened basically on your lawn (besides, my dog bit your dog first). You obviously know who I am! :)

I am specifically talking about free-roaming dogs, always without tags, often unfixed, with no owner in sight (in many cases they are pit bulls -- but not to discriminate, the one dog I followed home whose owner laughed at the situation was a huge, unfixed, unfriendly golden retriever). This has happened to us in countless locations around the neighborhood, including George Washington Elementary. In one case I had to pick up my dog and carry her home because one pit bull (unfixed, untagged) wouldn't leave us alone.

Not to deflect from the issue at hand, which is a woman walking three pit bulls off-leash in a residential neighborhood and letting them crap all over people's lawns -- which I completely agree is very irresponsible.

WallStResident..

Are you talking about Lilly?

Responsible Pet Owner...start a new thread. When the neighbors 80 pound cat can take down my dog by the neck or my child then I'll worry about it. Until then, this thread is not about cats.

Ok I called the warden and they will be going to the house to issue a warning. Having the dogs off their leash and pooping on people's lawns is 2 violations. The more people who call the better.

Call and leave a message for the Dog warden...Sean. Tell your neighbors to do the same. Take pictures. I will be.

This sense of outrage also needs to directed towards cat owners who feel it's acceptable to allow their animals to run loose and urinate and defecate and spread disease and bacteria on other people's property. It's a bit of a double-standard.

I just called and left a message for the dog warden on how best to handle it the next time I see it. His name is Sean. I suggest you do the same, tell your neighbors to do it as well, strength in numbers.

I'm on Linderman too and I see those very same dogs without a leash. I have two small dogs (one is blind) that I walk in that area, on leash, and it is unnerving. It is an accident that is waiting to happen. I've got my cell phone programmed and my video on the ready. Do they rent or own? Should the landlord be called? Next time I see them off leash I will call the cops.

This is a HUGE problem in our neighborhood and something needs to be done about it. There certainly is a dog-at-large law in Kingston but I have yet to see it enforced anywhere, and the police never even bother to come when I call them. My dog has been attacked by free-roaming pit bulls 6 times since I moved to Kingston a year ago, and I am beyond sick of it. I once followed a loose dog all the way back to his house after he roamed the neighborhood for 45 minutes and the owner seemed to think it was funny that his dog "takes himself for walks." This has prompted me to plan my move out of Kingston, and I say that with all seriousness. I wouldn't buy property in this city for 10 cents.

The rules for a train approaching a crossing are that it must signal. The signal for a public crossing is as follows 2 long , 1 short,1 long and it the law they have to do this. And with the amount of crossing in the city of Kingston it will be used a lot.

This city needs money, why not ENFORCE traffic regulations: speeding, loud mufflers, running lights and stop signs. I guess it is easier to hand out parking tickets which discourages people from shopping in Kingston's business districts
