Am fuming probably should be in aibu but

[MillyMollyMoo]

Next door caused that much fuss about our puppy last year climbing through the fence and doing his business in their garden and more to the point refusing to fix the shared fence so he couldn't do it, that we rehomed him.
It wasn't the only reason by far but if he'd been able to play in the garden plenty of other issues would have been easier to live with to say the least.
Well they have just informed me they are getting a new dog, not just that but one that grows to 68kg's and poo's like an elephant.
Am so cross they are either going to fix the fence when it suits them to have an animal or think that they are going to inflict the dog on us when our children had to loose theirs

My dog is 75kg, doesnt jump fences (although we made sure the fence to the neighbours is too high for him to jump anyway, and I am as a mother more than capable of controlling him. No wonder your neighbour walked off.

MMM, does it not tell you something that the vast majority of posters on this thread can sympathise with your neighbours position more than yours?

OP - you are clearly completely loopy. You have had good advice, some reality checks and the odd bit of (probably deserved) abuse. You're still standing by your belief that you've done nothing wrong. I'd hate to be your neighbour!

Well bronze I hope you're right because the sheer size of it worries me sick, there are 10 children either side of these neighbours, who we did not ask for the money to put up a fence, we pointed out to them it was a shared fence and we didn't have the money to resolve the matter in the most amicable way.
And DH has asked because he was outside dealing with the car when it arrived, as good an opportunity as any.
We might as well be upfront with them about our feelings because frankly it's not too late for me to have them charged with assault for turning the hose on our child and dog and the only thing that stopped me was thinking wel he is in their garden.
One paw in ours and that might change.

I just find it hilarious that OP is so terribly aggrieved about their new dog possibly coming into her garden and possibly crapping everywhere - yet her neighbours had to put up with it from her. Karma, it would seem, is a bitch.

I also think you're being ridiculous even suggesting assault claims. Honestly, if I had a neighbour like you, I would consider moving house. Absolutely hand on heart.

You'd be laughed out of court.

Pathetic.

rainbow there's no fence at all for it to jump, he can just walk straight through.

Ohfuck - I totally accept we were in the wrong having the dog we couldn't contain, totally, which is why it went amongst other reasons and pee'd on carpets because he couldn't go outside, chewed walls and ripped wallpaper were amongst them. Which is why I am worrying that more of the same will on top of a newborn will probably send me to the funny farm or to throttle the neighbours.

I am still agog that you asked them to contribute to the fence needed to keep your dog under control because you couldnt. They might well intend to keep theirs under control, walk it ect.

Soaking children is assault. Oh well if you think it'll be laughed out of court I'll bear it in mind if the dog comes in the garden, I'm sure we have a hose somewhere.

rainbow we didn't ask them, we told them we have not got the money.

Have fun being laughed out of the police station. You know what, it's no wonder pregnant women get a reputation for being nutty - you're acting like a loon. It must be very tiring to be so wound up all the time.

It is absolutely none of your business if your neighbours get a dog, really it isnt. You have no say in the matter.

WHy on earth did you get a dog in the first place with no fence and no idea of how to look after one??

As i say sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander if it's not considered serious I'll do the same.

Your op says they refused to fix the shared fence.

It's just a pity you didn't put as much effort into walking and training your own dog as you are bitching about theirs.

It's their fence as much as ours rainbow.

Are you for real?

Get a grip, you sound like a nutcase.

You got rid of your dog because you didn't want it any more.

Your neighbours must laugh their heads off about you. Good god.

But your dog. Why should they have put a penny towards stopping your dog going into their garden?

BTW it wouldn't bother me in the slightest if someone turned the hose on my dogs. I often have to do it myself after their walks, and I often do it to next door's dogs when they've been left out in the garden all day to fry in the sun. It's water, hardly a big deal - in fact they quite enjoy it.

do you have evidence of the hose incident for the police mmm?

Milly, I think it highly unlikely that, whatever breed it is, your neighbours' dog would come into your house, piss on your carpets, chew your walls and eat your carpets. So you can rest easy.

As for the fencing issue, I don't doubt that if their dog starts shitting on your garden they'll simply ask you kindly to fix the fence if you don't like it. What else would they expect from you? It's a taste of your own (irresponsible and sour) medicine.

so if they come and ask you for some money towards the fence to stop their dog crapping in your garden, will you contribute?

Yuo should never have got a dog in the first place,how ridiculous, as it could not only have gone next door, but also buggered off into danger.

meh

MMM- your dog did NOT pee on the carpets or chew the walls/ wallpaper because he didn't have an enclosed garden to be bored out in- he did it because he was a young dog, possibly not getting enough exercise/ training/ time spent with him. That isn't your neighbours fault

I wouldn't want to go to the police three, it's hardly conducive to a good atmosphere to live in is it ?

We'll wait and see what happens, we don't have the money for a fence now anymore than we had it last year.
As far as I'm concerned if it comes in my garden I shall walk it straight to the local pound, since the hose is such fun.
