To think I've got the most batshit neighbours?

[MrsGaryLightbody]

I'm gobsmacked...

History of next door is one letter through my door a month or so ago to ask if I would trim my rose bush in back garden as it's grown 8.5 inches above the fence and they can now see it. It's a five foot fence. but I did new ( me) neighbourly thing and trimmed it.

This morning there's a note through door again from them , letting me know that they are going to contact the RSPSA and dog warden ( is there such a thing) and report me . A list of complaints were then listed .
These include, letting puppy howl all night, leaving pup alone all day to howl. Letting pup wee against same place on fence , which apparently seeps through and is damaging their vegetables. They are fed up with me shouting at puppy. They don't like the name I've chosen.
They then go on to say they apologise for not stopping to give me a lift ( rural bus service) but they saw I had pup in my bag and didn't want it in their car. But they will be writing a stern letter to the bus company to complain that people shouldn't be allowed on buses with dogs as it's a health hazard.

I'm not sure whether to reply by writing ... or just shout through the letter box that I don't have a ducking dog!! I never have and I don't have any pets. The neighbours either side of me and them have cats. They have cats.

Just what I need ! Should I ignore?

Actually Badgers could be an explanation or foxes. We have both being very "noisy" where I live, however what sort of a dog name could a randy badger be shouting out???
The mind boggles!!

This is amazing....

I can't wait to find out how you get on. Good luck op

Agree about the badgers thing (looks darkly at latest newly dug holes beneath own hedge to neighbours’ garden).

But OP isn’t smuggling badgers on the bus is she? Or are you OP??

Please ask them what your dog looks like. As well as it’s name, obv! Then stroll about the garden loudly calling ‘Come, Peasant!’ Or similar.

(Winks @LadyRannaldini)

Is it only one member of the couple making these claims or is it both?

@HazelBite

There are foxes near me and they like to have loud sex parties at night. DH once asked me if I had heard "those cats fighting" during the night

Come back soon Op.

I can't believe OP has gone for a shower - or is she walking her badger first?

We need a badger emoticon

This is a classics thread

Write out the exact same note and put it through their door.

We get noisy se crazed foxes here.

My neighbour once made a comment about how it sounded like I 'was having a good time with your new man last night'

I informed her I was single and the only men in my bed the night before and been Ben and Jerry. Then let her know it was the foxes. Bless her she was mortified.

Nautiloid
has nailed it , they are hearing themselves barking in their sleep !
This is glorious.

They're utterly barking.*

😭😭😭😭

I really hope the OP isnt about to drip feed that she didnt have a dog in her bag, but did have a badger. 🙈

You've got to go round there OP. It would be hilarious if they denied it was them who sent you the letter.

Brilliant bat shit neighbours !

Send a note asking if they could stop their bull from shitting on your doorstep as the smell through the letterbox is becoming offensive!

I was reading your OP and have to say was a little concerned that you're always shouting at your puppy......until it transpired you don't even have one!

Where is their veggie patch situated (the one that allegedly has a urine soaked fence next to it) that may indicate if they think they've got the correct house.

I love it when my neighbours huge beautiful rose bush is in bloom and it peeks over my fence, it's gorgeous.

Your neighbours are batshit!

So bizarre!

Sorry if I missed the clarification OP- did you say that none of your neighbours have a dog?

If so they are clearly batshit!! How are they hearing barking and shouting??

You could always wear a fluffy suit, invest in a shewee then run around barking while peeing on their fence. Maybe have one of your friends run after you shouting the most offensive name you can imagine. I'm sure they'll leave you alone after that

Badgers and foxes have noisy sex? Every day is a school day on MN, lol

Dp suggested you offer to change the name to ‘Casper’ the friendly dog ghost.

Perhaps they are joking??
