What Would You Do?
ok I have a good relationship with all my neighbors even the goofya$$ one that I share an alley with that doesn't trim his shrubs or bushes and they hang way low in the alley and people drive in MY yard to avoid them. I was driving home last week and heard the shrubs and bushes scratching the side of my car so I went and got a pair of wire cutters and trimmed them up at 2 in the morning. Then the other nite I used the pruners that my dad let me borrow and I trimmed them up even more in the rain.
But I digress this doesn't concern loser #1 this concerns LOSERS #2.
There is a rental property that is catty corner behind me it always seems to attract losers, duds, abusers etc. Keegan loves to have the run of the neighbor yards and no one else cares. Well, today Keegan and I were outside and the wife was out in the yard and (who is one of the strangest &itches I have ever come across) so Keeg took off running over there and then decided to poop (we are among friends here right?) in their yard. I had the wrong leash - I have one that has poop baggie holder on the end of it so I took her in the house grabbed a grocery bag and headed back out to get the pile and met the husband storming across his yard with the pile in a spade yelling at me to keep the dog out of my yard I have grandkids that walk thru here. I opened the bag and said yes - I have a very NONconfrontational personality so I really couldn't say what I wanted. BECAUSE here is the kicker. if they were nice, sane quiet people I would have understood and not been upset.
*Their grandkids ride their bike thru my yard - while I was mowing the little twerp just about ran into me.
*They have at least 2 indoor/outdoor cats mostly outdoor - where do you suppose they poop? My yard, my landscape, my other neighbors yard.
*They have a toy fox terrier that starts barking the MINUTE you step outside. As he is chained to a clothesline during most of the day.
****did I mention that this rental is supposed to be NO PETS? the last renters had a chi that the owners CRABBED about b/c they were not allowed pets there****And they have at least one cat that is indoors that I see thru the windows so that is at least 3 cats and one dog in a no pet house****
*And this is a big one b/c a lot of the neighbors are in an uproar over this one: He has a small truck that is a street rod and at least 3-4 nites a week he starts it and sits in the drive revving the engine. Then he goes on a drive and starts driving around the neighborhood reeeeaaallllyyyy slow revving and banging and burning out. I was out talking to another neighbor one nite while he was doing this and this guy said he was going to talk to the cops about it.
Trust me I don't like it when my neighbor's dogs poop in my yard so I know that is the issue so don't lambast me for letting her poop in their yard b/c I really try not to let her AND I was headed there to pick it up - if I wasn't I KNOW that he was either going to drop on my back step or knock on the door and hand it to me. If I would have even had a Kleenex I would have picked it up but I didn't I was in my jammies!
Part of me wants to Call the little old lady that owns the house who is apparently not a nice woman and ask her about renting the house with pets, part of me wants to tell him I'll keep my dog out of his yard if he keeps all the above done.
Part of me wants to forget it b/c I hate confrontation.
Thoughts??
