Your neighbors pets

Have you ever had an issue with one of your neighbors pets?

No not yet.

Funny you should mention this. I just got back from my walk and when I was almost home, some guy and his toddler daughter were walking their little ankle biter of a dog. The little girl was the one holding the leash and although I gave them a wide berth, the little bastard still came within inches of taking a nip out of me. I just shock my head and let it go but if that ever happens again, I'm tempted to let the dog bite me and let the asshole try and give me shit over what happens next. No, I wouldn't do anything more to the dog than grab it by the collar and wait for the police to arrive.

Nope.

Once we lived in a no pet complex, and the dog in the apt sharing our wall barked 2 days straight, it is enough to drive one nuts. So I left a not on their door the next day that if the barking continued (when they were obviously gone) I would be forced to report it to the landlord. The noise stopped the next day.


Where we live now we aren't supposed to have dogs bigger than 13 inches at the shoulder. But while the landlord takes very good care of the grounds greed has got them. This is also supposed to be a senior park, next door there is a teenager with a boyfriend who has a very noisy car, and next door to them is a huge dog. Granted he is quiet but he is very hostile to other dogs, and all there are here are small dogs, if he gets off his leash as he has done at odd times and if a neighbors dog is out it could get bloody. When we first bought this place and found out the rule about dogs we went home and measured our large cat, I shook my finger in her face and told her "good thing you aren't dog!". She also wasn't an outside kitty anyway.

Not with our neighbors that just moved out, we have new neighbors and haven't had any problems so far.

my neighborhood was more like a family. And everyone had dogs, and no one ever complained about anyone else's.

I only had one incident where a 2yr old pitbull jumped my fence and my geriatric, cancer ridden dalmatian lunged for its throat. I did not realize at the time that the dog was actually on one of those 25ft retractable leashes.. and i had both dogs by the collar hoping to not get bitten. the owner had to jump my fence to get his dog cause i have padlocks on them for a reason!


There was an incident with a child involving my own dog once. I live across from the playground, and the kids all knew that if they accidentally threw a ball in the yard, not to come jump the fence. They would just have to wait for me to come home and throw the ball back. One day my sis got a call from my neighbor asking if my dog had all her shots. of course she did, but i marched right down to ask what happened. She said, "i noticed a mark on my son's hand and he said it was a dog bite, so i was upset and ready to go confront someone. When I asked him whose dog, he told me yours. I immediately smacked him in the head and asked him what he was doing in your yard. Apparently he thought he could jump the fence, get the ball, and get out before your dog could get him. He was wrong. they both went for the ball at the same time and he got nipped"

She didnt try to sue, she didnt ask for me to pay a doctor's bill although i tried to insist. Great neighbors i had

Yes I got a neighbor about four or five houses down with cats that she lets roam the street at all times of the day and night. Much as they like to take shade under cars I'm surprised they haven't been run over.

We had a guy living here with a big black lab and she would shit in our yard. We brought it to his attention, he did nothing. So, one day, I was super pissed and put the shit on his walkway.

Now, we have these two guys with two little sweet dogs who always come in our yard. I like the dogs though they do sometimes potty here. But, what pisses me off is the guys act like it is our fault for the dogs coming here...my dog is on a zip line, theirs are loose. So, no fault here. And the last month or so, they have began to do this three clap shit, to get the dogs to come home. They must have read it in a book because they used to just yell for the dogs. Now they clap three times...over and over. It doesn't work.
