Hi All!
Well, so much for good neighbors! Our house is as wide as the front of the lot, on one side you can get through if it's not muddy, on the other side there is about 3ft. then the neighbor's drive way and a gate through the privacy fence (ours) that was there when we bought the house. His drive runs right along the lot line. He had told us before we could use his drive as long as we didn't make a habit of it. Well, it's been muddy and more rain coming so we thought instead of going to the muddy side (were guests went before) they could set up on the other side and we would pay the neighbors to use the drive. They came and set up and went to super. When they got back neighbor blocked the drive but guests squeezed through. Went to talk to the neighbor and they didn't answer the door. I woke up to go pee about 9:00 and there was a text on the phone saying it looked like a turkey was hurt. Went out to check and TomTom was DEAD! The guest were gone! I texted them back upset that maybe they had done something. They said they saw him laying on his side when they left and they left because the "old guy" next door was throwing a fit and going Bat **** Crazy on them!
These people were 1 guy in his early 30's a gal in her late 20's and a women in her 40's. They set up way in the back, on our property, with a fence between them and the neighbor. He wouldn't even be able to see the tents from his house because his large garage was between. They didn't even have a radio on so noise wasn't an issue. They didn't dress weird or anything. Neighbor chose to throw and fit before we even had a chance to talk to him. He could have made some cash. If he chose not to let them through we could have worked out going the other way, but he didn't give us a chance!
Back to the turkey. We think he did it. Neil said he was in the back yard (while I went to town) with a BB gun. Looks like one of our cats got hit in the leg too!
Both were good last night but dead and hurt by 9a.m.
ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS
TALK TO US!!!
I don't care what issue you may have with a person, their kids or their pets. Talk to the person who is in charge of them. NEVER take it out on their kids or their animals!
On a happier note.....
A friend of my son's friend (ya I know) is looking for roosters. He has a little farm and is semi-retired. He only has a few animals and he lost his last chickens over a year ago. He doesn't have any poultry left and didn't think he wanted more, however he misses his roosters. He will take any roosters I want to give him. He basically wants bug eating lawn ornaments.
Guess that's it.... Night All
