Well, I plan on asking them to keep their dogs in at night from now on or to BRING THEM IN when the bark. Problem is, they avoid me... LOL, I'm not one for mincing words with rude and thoughtless neighbors and this is the set who built their fence onto our property (using ours for the 'fourth side') and when asked to remove his post from our property, said "how'm I supposed to keep my dogs in?" When told he could do as he wished on HIS property but to remove the post from ours he yelled same line and told my housemate SHE could cut the board off, because he didn't own a saw.... Also same guy who's father got drunk at their morning wedding and backed into my mailbox and crushed my flowerbed. Same guy who tosses his dog's feces over into the yard behind his (a fairly unused lot owned by the town coroner) and same lot who won't let his guests inside the house when they have keg parties so they do it in their garage and driveway, making as much noise as any college frat party at 2am.
As I've not been 'miss happy neighbor' over those incidents, and actually had the "nerve" to tell the wife she couldn't plant spreading leafy things on MY side of the property line, they aren't inclined to stay still if I approach! HAHA! (Oh, she wanted to plant this stuff around their mailbox, which some idiot put right on our property line, so I declined to let them- don't want that stuff in my front lawn and it attracts slugs. She was miffed about wanting a 'pretty' mailbox like the rest of us have. I pointed out that nobody else in the entire neighborhood has their mailbox on the property line but rather on the OTHER side of their driveways. Her hubby is too lazy to get out of his truck for the mail so they leave it there - he can drive up, hang out, grab the mail and continue into their driveway.)
Ahhh, suburbia....gotta love it! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Harley, I think they put the animals out in the middle of the night, but I'm not sure. Never timed it after I started when they were puppies and they WERE taking them in then.
