Shit. I was out planting Verbena shurbs in the back and the neighbor's pack of dogs were barking at me like crazy. That woman has a pack of dogs. There's all little yappers, but, one bigger one. He's a yapper too. I haven't even used the back yard this year because since they cut down those trees on that side, the dogs can now see me and they start it up every time I go out there. It's a helluva racket and you can't make friends with them because there are too many. They get each other all wound up and won't even listen to you. I got frustrated, they hurt my brain really bad, so I threw a loose dirt clod at the woodpile. My neighbor came flying out the door like an exploding wasp nest and yelled "never throw rocks at my dog again, you bitch." And I yelled, "I didn't, I was aiming at the wood pile, you crazy ass." (Which I hit, by the way...and it wasn't a rock.)*
That pissed her off good, because I guess her word is final around here and she started going off telling me what goes on over there is her business and if I didn't like it..bla bla. I told her to go fuck herself and gave her the finger. I told her those dogs don't have the right to tell me I can't use my own yard and she screamed "If you don't fucking like it, go somewhere else!" Which is pretty funny when you think about it. I yelled "Go where? I'm in my own fucking yard!" She called me a bitch and I called her an idiot and she went inside.

Don't you hate it when shit like this goes down? You feel stupid and frustrated. I'd go over and apologize for telling her to go fuck herself, but, she thinks she can tell me I can't use my own yard. WTF? They're the ones who cut down the damn cover. If they hadn't done that, the dogs wouldn't even know I was out there. It sucks to have all this yard and not be able to work out there. Guntown sucks. No wonder only dopers and hoodlums move here. I wonder how the NYC housewives would have handled this mess?

There is a product advertized on TV that is used by joggers and people that want to repel dogs. It is supposed to emitt a sound that dogs run away from. Maybe something like that would work. Or maybe a dog whistle will confuse them. I wish I had better advice. A tall fence would be the ideal choice but I do understand the money thing. If you are like me, the fence would be considered a luxury.
My other thought would be alum laced dog bones! I don't think alum would hurt them, but I really don't know.
Have those people/dogs lived there for a long time?
Yeah, forever, that's why they think they run this whole block. I know the cover I planted will grow back, but, this year I really can't use the yard. The fight was bad. I still wonder why the fuck they cut down the fence cover, that was so stupid and mean.
throw them some soup bones!! bima
uh, WHY is it her business what you do in your own yard???? and isn't it amazing how someone like that can't 'hear' the dogs yet she saw/heard you throw the clump of dirt???
humane society was back at my insane neighbor's house today but they would not tell me why, i asked what was up with her dogs now and they "that's for us to know"....okie doke DICK....
of course she told everyone i called....didn't call today, just a few weeks ago....of course the dogs weren't taken AWAY, which they should be....
and get this, she got a ticket back in january for her dogs running loose and she didn't pay her fine....now there's a bench warrant out for her ass! i hope she calls the cops on me for some reason and i'll mention them, oh she has a bench warrant....hahaha....
oh i forgot....for DD's neighbor...
FUCK THAT CUNT!!
Neighbors suck. Sorry about that DD. I hate when something like that happens, it makes me feel bad and kind of sick all day.
Pat, why can't you move away from your horrible neighbors and mad relatives?
When is the next best time to use
those mirrors you talked about
recently? I would say this situation calls that at least for that.
Sorry this happened, Pat. It leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. Have you ever talked to her/them before other than about their dogs?
It IS your garden - you have every right to be upset that her dogs are so damn loud. Did they take the fence cover down because your mother asked them to?
Could you talk with them about putting up something that the 2 of you would be agreeable to?
Again, sorry - that really sucks. I have been lucky with our current neighbours but that has not always been the case in previous living situations and it does make you feel sick and bad that you are fighting over some "silly/trivial" thing though it isn't really that silly at all from the moment it starts becoming a nuisance.
people like this are the reason i hated dogs for so many years. Spent my 20s in shitty little houses with shitty neighbors who tied their dogs up in their shitty back yards and only thought of them once a day when they put out big bowls of Old Roy dog food (a dog food so heinous that the animal shelter in my old town wouldn't accept it as a donation). WHY do people collect dogs and children they obviously don't want? I can understand ONE dog b/c they probably went into it with the best of intentions and found out dog ownership is hard. But 2 or 3 or a pack? Why would you bother getting more dogs when you obviously don't like the ones you have? It's the same thing that makes me confused about drug addicts/drunks who have 7 or 8 kids. Kids cut into your party time no matter how good your baby sitter might be. If getting fucked up is your #1 priority then WHY would you add more of the biggest time and money drain on earth? I don't get it, I really don't. Dogs and kids are responsibilities and people like your neighbor obviously don't like responsibility so why add more?
I'm sorry your neighbor was such a bitch to you, DD. That truly sucks, and after a confrontation like that, I always end up feeling bad----it doesn't even matter that you're right. What seems to matter is that the other person is such a sub-moronic piece of shit that their tiny little gnat-like brain can't understand the difference between right and wrong and you are stuck with the result.
Is it possible to put a sprinkler there? Would that help deter the dogs from yapping at the fence?
I really can't see you going through the summer without having the outlet of your garden, and the ability to do your own thing in your yard. Where the heck is a big ol' kudzu vine when you need one?
I just thought of
something...wouldn't it make for a great reality show if they moved NYC Housewives to Guntown or maybe Kate! Now that's a show I would watch. Can you imagine the whining going on with Kate? Now, these people would deserve it!
DD...hang in there girl. Things have to get better one day. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
Are the relative things leaving you alone?
You need to move.
Perfect spot for a compost pile upwind of her house.

These people are rough, pushy, uneducated rednecks who start every sentance with "By God"..like they're the law. They start the riding mower up at 6 am and the harleys at 1 am. They march around like they own a ranch, like they're Pa Cartwright on the Ponderosa and I'm pretty sure they planned to own my backyard and were mad when I clamed it. They think everbody's afraid to say anything to them. Fuck them and their pack of dogs.
And why is "fuckin' bitch" the only insult anyone around here can think up when they're mad?
Time for a toke before your head SPLODES!!!
I wish. I should plant a mess of it back there. They'd just steal it.
