To ahve put the Dses little friend out the house, because he was screeching every time the puppy went near him?

[saltire]

He (the friend) lives next door, he knows we have a puppy. He was in the garden with DS2 screeching loudly that the puppy was trying to scratch him - well yes puppy does get exciteable and try to jump up, but he's 13 weeks old FGS. Thats what puppies do!
Then he started yelling that he wanted the pup taken indoor and put in its bed, so I said "no, if you don't like it then go home, this is puppy's house and he is only doing what pups do"

I'm not sure how old he. year 2 I think, what age is that?

Something around 7 then. It's my understanding that living on a forces estate is somewhat different to living in the outside world in terms of children/ neighbours coming and going. Am I right? If so, I can't what the problem is with a) asking him to stop screeching and b) asking him to go home if he is not happy about the dog and c)asking him to desist calling your dig just to make a fuss.

the girl next door bleats when our kittens get newar her odl bad tempered cat

drives me nuts

I think the kids a pain. He's teasing the dog, and then getting a kick out of screeching about him. I'd let the dog out, and hope it puts the kid off to be honest.

duchesse - I haven't yet lived on a Forces estate where pople come and go in each others houses I'd need to keep my doors locked.

I did tell him to go home, but some people think it was unreasonable of me. If I say to him "don't sit on the wall and shout on the dog" he says "my mum says I'm allowed to" .
Same as what he says when he and his sisters say when they appear (unasked)in their swimsuits when the Dses have the paddling pool out

Oooh you're a gate? Will look.

"my mum says I'm allowed to"

cheeky gets!

Well, you can't stop them sitting on the wall and teasing the dog, but you can certainly turn them round and send them straight back home when they turn up in swimsuits - "this is my garden and I say you're not allowed to" - end of.

Trellis.

My dd was afraid of dogs.

My sister got a labrador & when we visited she would put the dog into her kennel.

DD would talk to the dog through the wire door on her kennel & she was ok as the dog wasn't jumping on her.

It wasn't actually the dog she was afraid of, just the jumping.

Now, one by one all my sisters have dogs & at the beginning they always put the dog outside when we visited, but over the months dd got used to the dogs, especially the lab, who she was laying on the grass cuddling last Saturday!!

I do think you were a little unreasonable by telling the boy to leave, I would be really hurt if any of my sisters had said "Tough, you don't like it, leave!"
