The postal service decided to have the residents install curbside mailboxes and suspended service for 30 days to allow neighbors to put them up. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfmynews2.com\/article\/news\/local\/2-wants-to-know\/its-been-terrible-dog-blamed-after-neighborhood-stops-getting-mail-delivered\/83-08ee5a16-68e9-437a-b2cf-ab3332603b42\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26884\" src=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/VA-Dog-Stops-Delivery.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"374\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/VA-Dog-Stops-Delivery.jpg 374w, https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/VA-Dog-Stops-Delivery-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All of a sudden the mail just stopped coming.
