To think I've got the most batshit neighbours?

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. Confused 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. Confused
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?

I hope you are renting and haven't invested your life savings in a home next to these people!

My Dc inherited a flat when their Dad died. The downstairs neighbour was so difficult we couldn't get anyone to do work on the flat (police called after he pulled window man off his ladder, twice weekly complaints about tenants via freeholder etc). I actually cried with relief when I found out he'd passed. Then his wife picked up the baton......

Thank you OP, you have made me laugh so much!
However, good advice from Darkclouds and pps.

Twist: It's OP who is batshit and is hallucinating away her very real dog.

Deer rutting is also noisy. But a bit late in the year for that I think?

You can still buy invisible dogs.

Maybe batshit NDN has invited @MrsGaryLightbody in to share a spliff and hallucinate with them?

KitKat1985 · 20/07/2019 12:58

Damn no update yet!

GrimDamnFanjo · 20/07/2019 12:59

This is the weirdest thing I've ever read!
Surely if there was such a dog nearby you'd be hearing it too?

Ginnymweasley · 20/07/2019 13:00

My dd has an imaginary dog. Maybe it got loose and has taken up residence at your house. Just in case. It's called Waffle. According to dd it only eats cat food and likes to dance.

There is only one thing you need to ask them OP:

LillithsFamiliar · 20/07/2019 13:02

There must be something wrong. Confusing a dog with a cat would be understandable but writing to the bus company about allowing dogs on buses, makes absolutely no sense.

HorseradishSnowflake · 20/07/2019 13:02

Utterly bizarre and cannot wait to hear what they say...

Cutantrim · 20/07/2019 13:03

Please please please let this be real!

Thanks for the pop corn stiddle. Coming to wait for an update

Gardeners in the Olden Days (and now too for all I know) used to pee on the vegetable beds and on the compost heap. Acts as a fertiliser

It acts as a compost accelerator. And it is male wee only. And yes they still do it.
