We have a serious, SERIOUS problem. If anyone is a lawyer or has legal advice I'd appreciate it, although I doubt anything can be done. I've posted this in my journal too but I am so worried, I'm posting here.
There are two dogs that live next to us. They are yappy, horrible dogs. One was abused when he was younger which is why he tries his very hardest to bite everyone.
Our neighbours keep them tied up in the front yard for short periods all during the day but the barking is deafening whenever anyone walks by.
One of them already bit Paul. Then their other dog picked up this charming habit and bit our painter (fortunately he doesn't have teeth!).
So we had ANOTHER talk with the owner who said that he will shorten their leashes again and that usually they stay inside.
Today I walked up to the house and was jumped by both dogs who missed me by inches. This is going to TERRIFY any potential house buyers. The bitch of a girlfriend (who was the one who told US to tell the neighborhood kids to stop tobogganing on our property so THEIR dogs would stop barking at them) began to take them inside.
One last time I said that we are selling the house (it's on the market today) and that these dogs will scare our buyers. She looked smugly at me and said "There's nothing I can do about that!"
I said, "Well actually you could keep the dogs in the back or INDOORS!" She didn't answer and shut the door in my face.
The dog is back out again barking at people. I think this is her getting back at us for not getting rid of those kids. But if she hates us, why not try to help us get out?
I know that if we call animal control they will know it's us and I'm afraid she will try to sabotage our house or something.
WHAT DO WE DO??????????? We have GOT to sell this house or we will be out hundreds of thousands of dollars!!!!
