She added suspension of mail delivery is a serious action USPS takes in very limited circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Julie Vasquez who lives on Cumberland Avenue said she has not received her mail since Monday. Her mail is usually placed on a mail receptacle located next to her front door.\u00a0On Friday morning, when Vasquez went to the post office to inquire about her mail, she was\u00a0asked\u00a0to sign a letter agreeing to choose a different mail delivery option moving forward, which would be different than the current one. The options\u00a0included, renting a post office box or installing a curbside mail box in front of her home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t feel like the whole block should have\u00a0to not receive mail, and be penalized because of one person\u2019s dog. It just doesn\u2019t feel right,\u201d said Vasquez. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ksla.com\/story\/31854539\/mail-delivery-suspended-after-dogs-bite-mailman\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/ksla.images.worldnow.com\/interface\/js\/WNVideo.js?rnd=231313987;hostDomain=www.ksla.com;playerWidth=475;playerHeight=355;isShowIcon=true;clipId=12401428;flvUri=;partnerclipid=;adTag=News;advertisingZone=;enableAds=true;landingPage=;islandingPageoverride=;playerType=STANDARD_EMBEDDEDscript;controlsType=fixed\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><a title=\"KSLA News 12 Shreveport, Louisiana News Weather &amp; Sports\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ksla.com\">KSLA News 12 Shreveport, Louisiana News via PEN<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14815\" src=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/waco-dog-problem.jpg\" alt=\"waco-dog-problem\" width=\"473\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/waco-dog-problem.jpg 473w, https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/waco-dog-problem-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WACO, TX (KXXV) &#8211; Mail delivery for residents in the 1500 block of Cumberland Avenue, which had been suspended after dogs reportedly attacked\u00a0a mailman last week,\u00a0will resume on Saturday.
