I'm Sooo Upset

[K9karen]

I'm with you 100%. Don't forget my wrist is shattered, my life altered, by a dumb smuck who can't fix his freaking fence and keep his dogs under control! I'm suing this Son of a Gun and I refuse to leave. I have to live next to him. I was here first, with dogs, under control and contained in their own property.

And a compost?! My God! It's a dog's DREAM! Those odors..he should be glad your dogs don't leap the fence and roll in that stuff!

What dog, on the face of the earth, wouldn't bark at the sound of a ball hitting a fence?? I'll bet it's on purpose too! Yet, you pay the consequences!

You better get that camera out! I've been taking photos since my accident of those dogs being out unattended, when someone is suppose to be out with them. They must have seen me because now the owners come out with the dogs, but you pay rent, taxes etc. It's your property. if that jerk kick drops that cocker again, you better get that on film and call animal control.. Easier said than done? Heck. My neighbors had their 1st party this weekend and no dogs in sight. Which tells me, yes, they are horrible around people, dangerous etc. I don't care. I'm NOT moving. I took pictures of their party to give to animal contol. Those dogs were taken somewhere else but it's OK if they roamed 24/7 with a doggie door and nobody home. Shoot. If you're moving just because of the dogs, and you've done nothing wrong, don't give your neighbor's the satisfaction. If you're moving cause you want to move, fine.

I think, seriously, YOU should call animal control FIRSt and let them know that yes, the dog barks because of the compost, doesn't hurt a fly, the guy throws a shovel etc. I've been through this. You need to cover your butt first so it's on record that your dog was almost bodily harmed etc. I'm NOT kidding. You need to look like the good guy cause once this jerk calls animal control, they'll be ringing YOUR bell!

Sorry to be so angry, which is unusual for me. But I don't want another person, going through what I am. It's torture, a living hell and all for the cost of a repair, conversation etc.

I hear you 100%,The ball is deliberate it really is...These kids are monsters!As too moving here is the situation,The people i live around have lived here 30 years atleast they were born and raised here.Back in the fall of 2004 these kids were punching threatning my son.I called the police they could not do anything because he was 18 and they were 12 and 14 i guess.My son one thing you have to understand he does have problems he is 18 but acts 10 he is making progress,regardless they were punching him in the head smacking him and ripping his clothes.Police did nothing since then the hole town hates us.

The next door neighbor's sister used to live on the other side of her up until a year ago she had a hound mix..we all know they do not stop howling,barking etc right.

Nothing was ever said to her that dog made noise 24/7 and it was an outdoor dog of that..so offcourse it made noise the dog wanted attention.Simple,since then all the neighbors have gained up in there own little pack and as i said i'll do anything for anyone but i will not put up with BS.Not my kind of candy.

My best thing is too move nothing will change,and i cannot handle this anymore i'm on the verge of a breakdown!

Reading all this makes me so shocked and angry. I've said it many times before ( so often I think I should change it to my motto ) I'm ashamed of humans. Some humans.

I'm so happy my nieghbours and I are so peaceful together. There aren't many teenagers in my nieghbourhood. ( only 3 houses on my street, my "nieghbourhood" is mostly forest. Phew !) But I do have two nieghbours who are both very peaceful.

I don't blame you for getting angry about the shovel and the kicking, but like K9karen says, make sure animal control knows you're the good guy.

I am also glad the guy is up for charges. What a relive ! I would be very, VERY angry if he wasn't. He will get his *reward* some day. We'll just have to wait.

Wishing you the best of luck !

Lori, get out of Dodge. No reprimand for beating up your son, no reprimand for a dog barking 24/7. You're right, it's not worth it. Luckily, my situation is the opposite. All the neighbors are keeping an eye out on my back neighbor and his dogs. It's like my own personal police force watching out for me. Remember, other people's attitudes is not worth your health. Geez.
