Do all of us have awful neighbours? sure sounds like it! mine suggested I have my Airedale's vocal chords removed -because he barked whenever the mailman came!! She was the only one in the entire neighbourhood to complain-The kids in the neighbourhood loved the 'dales and felt safe when we went for walks. Oh we tried the nice bit-even baked her my infamous double chocolate truffle brownies and apologized for the barking which lasted all of 5 minutes once a day. She wouldn't have any part of it and just kept writing her venomous letters. My 'dale is gone and now she's writing letters about my wildflowers in the garden(she calls them weeds) So sometimes there isn't any reasoning with people!! Wouldn't you just love to b***h slap her one! But then you'd be on her level and you touch dirt you get dirty!!Feel sorry for her beasties!!
