as someone that has not had dogs until just a few years ago, i AM the same way. animals should be controlled. i have had more dogs in my yard than i care to think about, and mostly taking a dump, but i look at where i live, more or less in the country, and i am about trying to get along, so i lived with it. when it comes down to it, some battles are not worth fighting.

my dog is OCD when it comes to a ball, and they have played with my dogs, so now what do you do when they have encouraged my dogs to come over and play, then they turn ***** about it. if there was something within reason i could do to keep my dog in my yard, i would. i have too much property to put up a fence that would keep them in, and im not going to chain them up. (the one was abused when we got it. if you put her on a chain, she stands there and shakes in fear).
if my dogs had gotten into their garbage, i would have gone over and cleaned it up, but she had no proof, because they did not live in the house at the time. we also have an overabundane of coyotes, who is to say it was not one of them.

as for the girl walking to the bus stop. she lives at the end of that road behind me, so i dont think there is even any place for a bus to turn around. i juist dont understand why you would not let a girl walk through your yard to the bus stop, its not like they have an award winning yard, in fact, where she walks was a road a few years ago.

part of this thrread is, i just dont understand her. why make so many enemies when you first move in? where we live we do things for each other. i cut the neighbors grass, work on their AC, fix things, fix fences, i even cut down that mess for him, and what do we get in return?
