I have so had it with this woman
Today I had a visit from the Police Department. It would seem one of my neighbors called to complain about my barking dogs outside. Told them that the dogs were constantly barking and that when she tried to talk to me about it I slammed the door in her face. EXCUSE ME?!?!?!? She never came in my yard that I know of!
Turns out that what she did was that She WALKED OVER INTO MY FRONT YARD, which set the dogs off to start with (any stranger comes onto the property, they bark) and then called the police and complained! Now, of course when the police officer came up on the property, they barked, THAT IS WHAT THEY DO!!! So I went outside to have a "chat" with this woman. The thing that bothers me is that she doesn't even live in this neighborhood, she lives 4 blocks away! It's her mother and brother who live across the street from me! I mentioned this and said, "You don't even live here, why are you complaining?"
"My mother is bothered by the barking!"
"Then your MOTHER should be filing the compliant, NOT YOU! You are only mad at me because I called the cops on your running PUPPIES last year, the ones I ALMOST RAN OVER because you were letting them run loose all over the place! I offered to help you find a place for them to run and you kicked me off your property! So if your MOTHER has a problem with my dogs, then let her file the complaint!"
"She's 88 years old!"
"SO?"
"Well, she asked me to call for her!"
"Yeah, right!"
She's trying to tell the officer that I had dog fighting in my back yard! I told her they were playing! They always sound rough but neither dog is getting hurt! Then she tells him that the kennel is to small for them! WHAT KENNEL??? I have a fenced in back yard, a nice big yard that Haley has full run of and Vinnie is on a leash, a 25 foot leash that is attached to a tree in the middle of the side yard so he has access to a large area as well.
I was furious to say the least. I have so had it with this woman. And shortly before the cop separated us I told her, "You want a war? I will give you a war! I will paint my house hot pink with purple trim! We'll see what your brother has to say about that! We are here to stay, but if you want to fight, I'm in!"
She backed off a bit after that though. Her brother puts a lot of effort and time into keeping his mother's house looking very nice and is very active about "encouraging" (for lack of a better word without sounding rude) the rest of the neighbors to do the same so the value of that house remains high. I have had disputes with him the past but we've always worked them out, I've gotten him the tools to help keep cats and other dogs off his property, helped him clean out his garden of cat and dog excrement as a show of good will and pretty much left him alone otherwise. The sister on the other hand, whenever she is over this way is always causing trouble, talking to the neighbors about each other, she used to try to get me to talk about the black family that moved in next door to me and about my other neighbor who is of Spanish or Mexican origin. She's an extremely prejudice woman and once you cross her......... Well, I knew I would pay for the call about the puppies but it was worth it if the dogs got better treatment than running all over her neighborhood, pooping on other people's yards and possibly getting hit.
Terry is going to have a talk with the brother and if he doesn't get her to back off I mean it, I'll start painting the outside of this house with all the wild, nasty colors I can find and he won't be able to do a thing about it. It will give me someplace to direct my energy.

She is messing with the wrong person, at the wrong time, I have a lot of anger over other things that is just begging to be misdirected at someone............
