Hi i have for over 5 yrs a selfish neighbour that got a puppy overgrown rat looking that yapped for hours. She then got another dog. After letters and husband going over it went abit better. Paid for shutters to block the noise in the bedroom did nothing. Even with parties she lets her mutts bark alllll night, if i went to a party i would not be impressed listening to her dogs yap all night. I was talking with hubby saying ive had enough it sounds like a dog pound behind us. I was going to write another letter friendly to say we have been patient enough please please you are home all day when they yap at nothing please go out and keep them quiet, they are outside doggies she says. WELL yesterday i get her coming over asking if i was Lisa, i said no why what is it about? she was rude and said dont worry went to the neighbour next to me. Well these neighbours next to us we have been friends for 25 yrs but...... they are growing weed smell it through our house most days we have put up with druggies coming and going from their house. They feed all the feral cats and then cracked at me for catching these cats as i killed one of hers but she said they were microchipped (if i did rspca said none of the 13 ive brought in were so either lying or not hers). She came back threatening me that im Lisa its my letter to keep her dam dogs quiet and my next door neighbour said it was my hand writing. To be honest they are with the fairies their faces are all drawn im thinking they have smoked too much and not with it. I kept saying i can show you my hand writing. SHe threw the letter in my face saying dont go down that road i know people in the council and its a lie i work from home and they dont bark much and thats what dogs do they bark. In 5 yrs i have NEVER seen her come out and quiet them never seen her walk them. Kept calling me Lisa and threatening me. I have NEVER been treated like this before. Yes some days ive had enough and scream shut your dogs up so she must of thought i was the the one that wrote it. she said shes gone to all the houses around and noone is Lisa and you are the problem they all say the barking doesnt bother them. Im SO ANGRY how dare she accuse me and when i said well to be honest my husband was going to come and tell you to shut them up she just went off. I told her if you threaten me like this i will flippen go to the council!!! I will ring on MOnday and let them know. I dont mind a dog barking a little and the neighbour says sorry i will try to keep them quiet. But to her yapping ever 10 mins in the day is nothing and i am the problem!!

I can hardly come across the playground and punch you in the face, can I?
What would you like me to do?
I'm here for the show, not the punch-up

yes i should of sat back and reread what i wrote lol. No wonder people freaked out lol. I heard a dr say when a dog yaps short term you body can handle it. BUT if the dog keeps going your hormone forget which one rises and is not good for your health. I never get down but knowing each day you wake up to the yapping does my head in and if.... this neighbour said im working on it and actually do something i would be more understanding. I actually feel sorry for her she must have some problems in her life to come and accuse me and when i said yep im feeling the same and we are over it as well she lost the plot.
Not sure if they do that with cats here they try and get you to catch them early so there is a good chance of rehoming them. Yes dogs are way worse but... when your husband flippen steps in the cat **bleep** and walks in the house not a good thing and the smell!!!! We have cat **bleep** and **bleep** everywhere continuously cleaning up the mess.
They live further down abit so no i doubt it. The smell is much better now as his crop is finished. But like the other neighbour said wait for the next crop. The smell is terrible smells like a home that has never opened their doors or windows. Cigarette smell is much nicer smell
Yes there still is some normal people around that understands what someone else is going through. Its a shame that ladies grow older and still like bully others around its pretty sad really
Thanks again for being real and understanding:)

From what I can see the OP just comes across as a lady that is stressed out over a constantly yapping dog. She's been honest about things. It is a pity that some folk around the joint seem to lack a bit of compassion. I'd like to say more but I best not.

Some times the behaviour of the animal is a reflection of the owners persona.
BTW: It's nice to see someone here is willing to understand the plight of another.
Thanks.
I've been through it before & know how frustrating it can be day in day out having one's life constantly interrupted by nuisance animals.

Just curious - how did you deal with it. ??

......I wonder if by chance there is an organization in Aust. like there is overseas where colonies of feral cats are neutered / spayed and then put back in their area.......
I believe there could be, I have heard of it being done here before.
However, in my opinion releasing ferals back into the environment a very very bad idea, I believe once they're removed they should stay removed.
The damage feral animals do to native populations in this country is a real issue, and cats are one of the worst offenders.

Yeah, you're probably right there. I just like cats and I saw a documentary on a colony of cats living in a city or suburb, can't recall which now. But they were all neutered and spayed and then returned. But yeah, they should be taken to where they have the least environmental impact.

Have you ever been confronted by a feral cat? I was camping out bush once when a feral cat rocked up and grabbed some food. I started to approach it. The cat just looked at me dead in the eyes and started growling. It seemed to be daring me to try and take the food away from it. I nearly sh*t myself. It would have torn me to shreds. I slept with a machete that night LOL.

Don't expect an answer NFS - unless it's a 100% trusted platform link to - ' Cats ' - the musical.
