We have been living here for 16 yrs. In all that time, the neighbor's dog(s) have been
allowed to run loose and one even attacked my son. They have a new dog who they
finally seem to have under control. It took a shock collar and a lot of yelling "Come!"
at the top of their lungs, but she is a sweet dog. She does try to chase the goat and
cats when they are not paying attention (which is often). And their cats use my gardens
as a litter box. in fact their "housecat" who had FeLuk and wasn't supposed to be out
was let out daily and drowned this past winter when it fell into our pool.
When their horse gets loose it's my yard she runs to and digs all up in panic.
The neighbor on the other side had turkeys and they would turn them out-of course
they would wander onto his property as they were friendly-the Mr. was out with a bobcat
and he is so oblivious he turned one into road pizza. (it was a WHITE turkey)
Yesterday, I was chatting with a couple who had come to see a rabbit. Of course as
we wandered around my property the chickens followed me. They ended up right on the
property line under some burning bushes the neighbor had planted a few years ago.
(actually he meant them as a border but they are actually planted on my property...but
that's another story!
)
As usual, they were going out and put the dog out on her run so she could bark for 3 hours
until they came back.
Would you believe they stopped the car, the Mr. got out and called over to me that MY chickens
were there?????
After we chased them home he mentioned he was concerned the dog would get them.
ROFLMAO! It took chickens and 16 yrs to get him to be aware? I better get MORE chickens!
