My dogs and my neighbor

[Wahawk56]

I just recently moved to this neighborhood in December and so far, everything has been good. I do have this one neighbor, who has done small things to annoy me, but I let them go, cause I don't give a shit. (I know, I'm poor, I have neighbors.) One thing that has bothered me, was leaving his garbage can on the street, in front of my house, up to 3 days past the collection date and some weeks not even moving it at all. It's not that big of a deal, but if anyone wants to park on the street, it will take a little maneuvering to do so. Not that big of a deal, yeah it's in front of my house, but whatever, I have no problem with it, except for the big ass dead pick-up that sits in front of his yard and causes his guests to park in front of my house as well. It annoys me, but not to the point to make a big deal out of it, as I don't see it as a big deal.
This morning around 10:00, main chick goes to let my dogs out and as soon as they get out, they begin to race to chase the squirrels and rabbits out of the yard, barking while doing so. That's no big deal, that's just what dogs do, chase critters and shit. Of course she corrects the barking and tells them to stop and they do. Well, main chick says the neighbor comes out and begins to bitch at her saying that my dogs just woke him and he's sick of their barking and since they are small dogs we need to keep them in my house from now on.
WHOA WHOA WHOA, lets back up a minute here. I better inform of other stuff I've noticed from his house of shit heads.
He lets his larger dog roam around with no leash and no fence. He not only comes on my property, but also goes up to my neighbor's house who lives behind my house and checks out his dog as well. When I first moved in, we noticed that there is large dog shit in my front yard, and considering I just moved in and there has only been one dog in my front yard, I pretty much deducted right away who this shit belonged to. Another thing, this dog has done is walked up to my fence and pissed on my smallest dog's head.
A few weeks ago, main chick's sister was visiting, (no pic) and was outside and heard some loud cracking noises coming from my A/C unit. When she looked at the neighbor's house, she noticed a little boy playing with what looked like a bb gun. Once he noticed she seen him, he ran inside. Now, I just did a glance over and didn't notice any BBs outside, so I thought she may have been imagining things or exaggerating.
So with all that said, if I go out and find these BBs and collect the poop that belongs to his dog from my front yard, what should I do with it? Also, should I call Black Lives Matter to come and make this guy's life hell?

I think you need a bigger dog.

 

[moral_victory]

Piss on his dog's head, and stare your neighbor in the eye while you do it. It will send a clear message.

 

[NoleSoup4U]

I vote for the Black Lives Matters idea. The guy sounds like a real douche.

I don't know about that.

Fill the unmoved trash can with his dog's shit.

Considering I'm the only black person anywhere near this area, I'm the first house they are visiting.

See, that's your problem.....you live in a "mixed" neighborhood. Move. But put the BBs and the dog shit in the guys trash can first.

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

I had an asshole neighbor in Minnesota. I would clean my guns on my deck whenever he was mowing his lawn.

Are you telling him to move to an all black neighborhood? thatsracist.gif

Dogs are useless and 98% of dog owners are irresponsible. Dogs are environmental disasters as even the few responsible owners pick up their feces in plastic bags and throw them in the garbage which goes untreated into landfills. Meanwhile barking dogs are a nuisance to neighborhoods everywhere causing friction in neighborhoods. Americans spent up to 50 billion a year on dogs which should be used to help the less fortunate instead. Cities ought to require licences and registration for dogs up to 500 dollars/year for the largest of dogs.

Take a dump in this neighbors front yard while they are watching.

Seems to me that you need to escalate the situation. You need to get a bigger dog. How about an Akita?

 

[SailorJerryHawk]

Oh my.Bettendorf is pretty dang hard core.I'd say leave out a bowl of anti freeze.Or go kick ahole neighbor in the jimmy.

 

[UNIowaHawk]

You have two small dogs-- you should have just gotten cats. Problem solved. If you wanted a real dog you should get one(s) that don't want to be cats.

Why try to kill the dog (and any other animal that encounters antifreeze) because the neighbor is a douche?

Have you had any other interactions with this neighbor? Do you feel you can at least go over and say "hey, sorry my dogs were loud, we're working on that, by the way can you keep your dog out of my yard/garbage can on your property/whatever"?

I haven't had any interactions with him, but his daughter came over last week to sell girl scout cookies and I bought a few boxes, so that was the only interaction I've had with them.

Better let " main chick " hit those girl scout cookies to be on the safe side..........you never know.

My reply was meant to be funny.Obviously you don't know me in real life.

 

[ghost80]

The problem is that if your neighbor's dog is allowed to continue using your front yard as a dumping ground that could attract others animals. Next thing you know you have a minefield.

Since your dogs do not have access to the front try this. Take some cayenne pepper and sprinkle it on your front lawn (not too heavy at first). Try to hit the "poop zone" heavier and if the problem doesn't appear to be within normal leash reach of your sidewalk you may want to spare that area to give the responsible dogs/owners a break.

You can get institutional sized containers relatively cheap but be careful to use it sparingly to avoid possible issues with the neighbors and others especially if there is public right-of-way involved. This worked for me and without a lot of fuss the animals just stopped wanting to come on my property to do their business.

We've not met, no.

My childhood dog was given antifreeze by the neighborhood shithead kids...we got him to the vet just in time. So this is one of few jokes I find not terribly funny.

This is my Frenchton.Does it look like I am an animal abuser? Lucy will love you to death.

That dog looks like she's giving you the "evil eye"....

 

[SailorJerryHawk]

More like she wanted the piece of pizza I was eating.

 

[GarryO37]

Pick up the dog poop. Use that same poop to make some chocolate chocolate chip cookies. Video tape just enough so it can't be used as evidence against you or is easily defensible.

Give the cookies to your neighbor's kid. The little turd will eat them and maybe even the dad.

Then about a week later send the video to your neighbor. At the end of the video it should say get control of your dog and kid and keep them away from my home.

Considering I'm the only black person anywhere near this area, I'm the first house they are visiting.

A black guy moves into an all white neighborhood? You'll have open houses on all sides of you within a year.

 

[Wahawk56]

Ok, so tonight, I'm outside with my dogs and the same guy asks me if I bar b q a lot and says he'll have to have me over when it gets warmer.

That's racist. He just assumes a black guy can que it up?

So maybe he is an okay guy and was pissed when your dogs woke him up.
