That she would threaten my dogs so easily really made my blood boil. What she doesn't get is that I am the only stay-at-home mom around here. They are retired people, but this now means that I pay no attention to their house. I am always making sure that there are no strange cars around, now, their house is outside my area.
It's SO their loss, Dalis! Like I said earlier, there's someone like this in every neighborhood. We have the nicest neighbors except for the people right next door. They don't like anybody and not very many like them. Of course, they live right next door. He came over and asked our grandkids to be more quiet in the pool one day. He said his wife had a headache. He's too big a coward to come to us, so he said that to the kids, who were just having fun in our pool. They didn't tell me or my daughter for awhile, because they knew we'd be right over there confronting him! Luckily, they're "snowbirds" and they're only here in the winter. I'm always so happy when they leave. There have been other things too - they don't have any grandkids and they don't like kids or dogs.
I don't like them either. I gave them the benefit of the doubt after we had Bianca (raising kids is hard), but NO MORE.
@Dalis : you are a good woman. Don’t let their negativity rub off on you. Don’t give them that power. Home is such a special and sacred place- let them fade into the background. Prayers for this.
Animal Control showed up today! The guy was really nice and he is doing the survey of our plot to see where the fence is located at. Now, we wait.
I'm so glad he was nice! Their dog didn't happen to be outside did they? Cuz that would have been awesome
oh boy was it because you called them or did they call them on your dogs? Karma re your neighbors.. Hugs
Depends on what's on his "to do" list because this is not a high priority for him he said. It could be up to 1 week to 1.5 weeks.
Ugh! I have one of these neighbors - they make me so angry!!! Like everyone said, document EVERYTHING!! Especially that fence thing you talked about. Did you take pictures of it when he broke the fence? Also, have the other neighbors made complaints about their dog? Do any of them have any documentation, videos, etc. This is not animal related, but we have a lady who harrases the children when they are outside playing - and she started making formal complaints against them which has gone to a hearing level. So we as parents started documenting her harassment - with video and writing. Once we showed the video of her yelling at the kids for playing (in the common playground for our housing unit - they were not doing anything wrong at all) the housing authority switched their investigation really fast. Hugs friend!
