Neighbors Dog - Page 4

I agree with most on here.  The cat spent all 9 lives.  Perhaps, was too curious.   I don't think that even you should be held responsible for the feline.  If I were you, I would have told the vet that I was doing a good deed.  I won't pay you for the cats medical.  We have two options.  #1 is that you continue what I have started and you donate your time and expertise to the cat, or #2, I will pay to put the cat out of his misery.

As to the land used by your neighbor, I would claim it back.  I wouldn't worry, however.  Almost every attorney I have spoken to about this subject says that a judge would have to be an idiot to award someone else's property by theft or stupidity. 

I would run electric wire along the bottom of the outside of YOUR fence which is on YOUR property..you pay the property taxe's on that land..it is your's!!It will force your neighbor to teach the dog and children to stay away from the fence.(And it is extremely cheap compaired to new fencing.)No,I do not want the children to get hurt and would shut the wire off while they are outside.Your neighbor does not need to know the wire is off.It just may force them to put up another fence.Good luck,and good job with the cat..I would have done the same thing.Lisa

That is wacky!  You're not going to be there 24/7 to shut it off when their kids go outside.

I think you should just put razor wire around your compound.  Maybe a couple trip wires and booby traps incase the neighbors try to cross the boundary.  You do have a lookout tower, no?   

Honestly, why don't you plant something that is fast growing in the 2' along the lotline?  It will reclaim your property and give you a bit of privacy from the neighbor.  If you want some recommendations for plants, ask or go to a professional.  Don't buy those cheap Arborvitaes at Lowe's or H.D. that will take 20 years to fill in.  After you have these planted, then you put up the razor wire!

What the hell is KUDZU?  Looks like the Japanese Plague to me.  Once planted, you can't get rid of it.  Will it take up the 2' space that the neighbor has "borrowed"?  Kudzu can only be planted in the S.E.  US.  where does the OP live?

Don,If he put up the wire without turning it on..the neighbor would be forced to stay outside and keep an eye on the children..which is what she should be doing in the first place.If he turn's it on only at night and shut's it first thing in the morning the dog would also learn without any harm done to stay away from the fence!

I still don't know.    I'm glad you're not my neighbor!   I am going to keep a close eye on you!

Maybe but you would be dam proud to be one of my dog's!!LOL

I would be dike proud to be one of your dog's what?

Just stating the fact that in order for my dog's to be able to run my property and not have to worry about the stupid neighbor dog..I would personally do whatever it took.If I could not afford a new fence then wire would be my next option.Yes,it suck's that we have to resort to such drasctic measure's because of ignorant people who can not control their pet's..but why should our's suffer???
