ugh! people can be sooooo stupid! yes make a complaint!
we had a problem with the neighbors preteen daughter last year. one day her dog got loose and she realized we were in the busiest part of kidding season and foaling season. she gushed over the few babies we had already and went home. this girls dog kept getting 'loose' every day. Lacey my mini mare had just foaled and we had her in the barn. this girl comes POUNDING on my door. yelling 'your black and white horse and its baby are running down the middle of the road!!!' of course i freaked! i sent my roomie out back to grab a halter for lacey and ran to the road looking in the direction that the girl was pointing. but no lacey. my roomie starts yelling, and i go to the barn, and there is lacey in the barn with her 2 day old filly in their stall.
apparently this girl couldnt get the barn door open and wanted to see the baby . so she lied to me to get me to go outside!! GAH!
the next day, the girl and her dog are next to my fence. only this time i didnt know it and i let my 150lb doberman outside (he is VERY protective of his yard!!!) of course my dog is LUNGING at the fence, growling snarling barking and her dog starts lunging at my fence ( he is on a leash but out weighs the girl by about 60lbs) the girl is yelling at ME to get MY DOG back in the house, to grab him and drag him in. i told her that i was not a idiot and the last thing i was gonna do was grab a doberman who was very upset about a stranger being so close to his yard.
i told her go home and to keep the dog chained. i told her the next time i see her or her dog, i was going to her parents.
the next day, i am standing outside on the front porch smoking and i hear a noise and look at the fence next to the house. and i see this girl with dog on a leash, bending my fence down to climb it . omg i was MAD
i ripped her a new one!!
i called her dad and told him i didnt mind maria coming over to see the animals or to visit. BUT the dog is to stay home and she is to knock (i had already told her this several times) on my front door and ask me to take her back to see the animals. she is not to come on my property. she has not been back and BTW i never saw that dog off a leash i think she was using him as a excuse to come on my property without having to track me down.
since then, its a bit harder to get on my property. not impossible, but a bit harder, she has to go all the way around. this summer that will change as i am fencing with hot wire all the way around.
i hate it when people (or kids ) think they can come on your property with out permission! i was lucky that day that we have a fence. i am not sure what my doberman would have done, he has never bit someone but there is always a first time!!
BTW your little dwarf is adorable, and good for you for caring for her !
