Most of you don't know that I've had a real problem with the neighbors whose yard meets some of mine in the back of the property. They didn't bother with rules at all... and that included not leaving their dog out 24/7. When she barked, they had her debarked...so they could leave her out...cold, rain etc. It became a real problem when I got my puppy this year... and they began digging to each other under the fence... also I found out the day they moved, that the little girl had been feeding my puppy ...snacks? that made him sick. He also wouldn't come in when I called because he was playing up and down the fence line with her. I couldn't use the back yard for training at all...and the tick problem coming from their side was intolerable!

This is the neighbor who threw chicken bones over the fence after each WILD LOUD party that kept the entire neighborhood awake... and after the police would quiet them, and told them to quit with the bones, they threw eggs. Even if you believe it's ok for animals to eat other animals, I never give my dog real bones, and egg shells? and the mess? ugh.

I'm glad they are gone. Now hope the new neighbor fits in better....
