Neighbors Dog - Page 5

I am not arguing with you.  No matter what house you live in, unless it is a corner, the neighbor to your left and right are always going to be morons and everything they do will be odd to you.  They probably think the same about you.

Example:

My neighbor is a moron.  They let their dog run loose.  Their kids play ball right next to my fense even though they have over 2 acres.  He mows his lawn every third week after 830pm.  They never put their lids on their garbage cans and in a windy day, their garbage blows into our yard.

In my neighbors eyes:   I am a moron.  I have vicious dogs that are unable to run free and be social with all animals and people.  My dogs are vicious and run up and down the fense when hisds play ball.  (he doesn't get prey drive).   I mow my lawn every week and sometimes twice a week when it grows quickly.  To him it is a waste of time. 

Don:  When you suggested planting something fast my mind went right to Kudzu.

That stuff sounds like Trumpet Vine used up here.  Very Fast.

Renofan:   A reminder::    when you approach the building inspector,,,do not     again    do not relay this story about the cat and the dog to him....opening a can of worms and alerting him to a civil problem and he wont get involved...he will sense a problem arising and bow out  politely....I know   I worked for the City of Lm for the Building Inspector.....

Just ask him to come to your home ,,,get out your land papers and Im sure you have a survey....you have rods at the back and front of property....Ask him to show you  how to put your fence up properly and you think........not know   you think the fencing is wrong and that its on the wrong property  either his or  yours  which ever the case is..Just tell him that you are beginning your addition and need to know  how to finish the project with the fence being changed and can he p oint out to you the law and where  you are allowed and how to put your fence.....He will walk the line and give you the pointers...who knows   he may run the tape and you can take a can of spray paint and make marks every 25-30 feet making you a permanent marker so when you get ready to do your fence project , no matter what it is to be ...you will be proper.....Ask  him , if he tells you ,,,that their fence is wrong and on the part of your property  ,,How to go about moving it or telling them to move it.....You will be surprised what a building inspector can do...He may go next door and consult them and ask them if they know their fence is wrong. ,,and it can be moved before you put yours up....If not,,,ask him  what would be the best way to handle it....start with him......but do not complain about them or show there is a problem....telll him you want to address it before there is a problem......

Your attitude will mark the result of what he will do for you.......since your fixing to spend money to get permits  , he will probably be very  helpful with the fence...do it now because, like Preston stated, if you dont fix it before a sale on your property happens or the neighbors up and sell and sell part of your property to someone else.,.It cannot be fixed overnight.

It can be fixed now and then you wont have to worry....Dogs dont care about bushes or berry vines either one , so they dont work...My shepherds come out of the creek and the woods tangled and wearing berry vines,,grape vines and sycamore balls in their hair and body....They will tear a bush to pieces with their drive....A new fence of the privacy kind with concrete on bottom is the only answer...then you can run a hot wire on your side and make sure your  dogs dont bother the fence..The neighbors of mine,,,last week put a chicken pen on my fence line in the back yard......now you can guess what my dogs are doing..??????need I explain....even a privacy fence has cracks that dogs can see thru....and hear and smell.

YRT

I think you missed that she has two fences two feet inside of her property line.  Add a row of shrubery and I highly doubt they can get through all three. 

My neighbors don't bother me since the dog graduated from Airborn Ranger training.

Cheryl,

How is the cat doning?

Rezkat5,

I believe in Renofans 2nd post, she said the vet called and the poor kitten died from a lung injury.

Don: I got it ,,,One of the fences is not going to stay   it is not in the right place....

She was leaving fence too far back up & putting a second fence along the property line to create a buffer zone, and fill it up with fast growing STICKER BUSHES! jh
