ARGHHH!!! Damn kids!!! Ok, here is a brief rundown of our living situation. We bought this house a year ago, and our neighbour was a nice lady with 2 older sons (18 & 20). She had a boyfriend who lived 2 hours away so was always gone on weekends - boys would PARTY......call the cops...nothing done, blah blah blah. Anyways, in January, the Mom moved out with bf & 2 kids PLUS a friend are renting the house from her (Yeah....I know!!) Kids continually party but hae now received a fine and all is quiet with the partying.
The problem lies here: Their dog! The dog is a little terrier type cross something or other, quite cute BUT YAPPY AS ALL HECK!! He barks at EVERYTHING! We talked to them, we called by-law, not much they can do. The dog is an outside dog but the SPCA won't/can't do anything b/c he h as access to a heated garage. Basically, the dog is neglected, never gets to go in the house & NEVER has any attention except what he gets from me over the fence.
NOW that has to stop because of the next problem: Last week, I was going out the front door to take Brick for a walk, and Shorty (their dog) came running up and wanted to play (he & Brick play on occasion when Shorty has escaped from the yard). I told him to go home, but neglected to put him intheir yard myself because the one kid was home & he is a total ******* and does not want us (Brick mainly) on his deck (whatever!) I continued to walk with Brick but Shorty was following us and Brick was going crazy, so I looped around the back alley & brought Shorty into my yard so I could go take him home. Just as I was at the front gate, the "kid" (a-hole) pops his head out his door and says, "Excuse me, why is my dog in your yard??". I replied, "because he was out on the street & I'm returning him to your yard so he doesn't get hit by a car". The kid says "well how does he get out? someone is home all the time & we don't let him out". I said, "well, you better check your fence cuz I put him back in your yard about 3 or 4 times a week". Then he slammed the door. I was so upset I almost started crying right there. He was insinuating that I let his dog out of their yard, but really, I'm the only one on the damn street that even cares about this dog. He runs wild 3-4 days a week & they don't give a hoot. I've called bylaw but whenever they finally make it to the area, he is gone, or back in his yard.
What do I do??? You can't reason with these kids, and they are already mad at us for getting the fine for partying. HELP!!!! :eek:
