I Can't Take It Anymore

I am so frustrated right now.

As most of you know, I live in a duplex. A few months ago, we got neighbors. They are a young couple, who just had their first child. For the first few weeks, the seemed nice enough.

Then the puppy came. A pit bull puppy.

Now, it against our leases to own one of these, due to breed restrictions. We have been nice, and not said anything. At first, they always came out with the puppy, and took it back in after it did it's business. Now, they just shove it out the door. It's now pooping in my yard.

Saturday, Junior went over and asked if they would tie her up when she's outside. She's getting big enough where I am nervous about her being around my kids. The guy said the dog would no longer poop in our yard.

Well, I went out this morning to water the garden, and the dog was running loose, again. And there are two loads of crap in my yard, where my kids play.

I don't know what to do. I am thinking Junior will have to let the management company know. I have to walk in front of their half of the duplex to get out the driveway, and it is getting to where the puppy comes and nips at my feet. Now, I know there are pit bull owners who think these dogs are great pets. That is there choice. It is also my choice to not have one around my kids.

Ug. What should I do? What would you do?

***update: Junior just got home, we discussed it and decided to call. The management company was understanding, and want me to call the next time the dog is outside. They will send someone out, supposedly to check on something else, so that they can see the dog. Then they will talk to our neighbors. They said they wouldn't say we called, and I really hope they don't.
