apparently its war
firstly welcome to my war-room, outside and approximately 7 metres away lies the battle line of whats shaping up to be the next cold war. against all good judgment it would seem our neighbors have decided to kill what remains of the uneasy peace that has existed since they called dog control about our rotty. since then we have had to modify our front gate to impeade onyx from barking at passers by, and with the addition of of a second gate required by the chch city council in order for us to get a license to have second dog. and so with us having acquired a staffy pup and everything being kosher with the ccc, life should be sweet right? enter the note we found in our letterbox yeaster day;
“Take your dog walking!!
How would you like being
stuck in a backyard 24/7
You get to go out everyday
so take yourdog 4 a walk!
Don’t be so mean!
4 CRISS SAKE
It’s not a toy.”
firstly, i f you want to leave a suggesting/harassing note make sure it is in English and correctly spelt. secondly, before you go jam you nose into my trough and critique my actions, look at your own side of the fence. i noticed that your German Sheppard has’nt left your property once in the six months i’ve been here. also you might like to note that i have two dogs and one has arthritis in its hips. i had thought leaving them in a 90metre square run would be enough but seeing as you dont think so i’ve allowed them both the run of the front yard and boundary…oh wait didnt i stop that so your dog wouldnt start a barking match with ours? silly me.
coincidentally we have had animal control around here due to nikki complaining about the barking and vise versa. the out come so far is in our favour as it would seem their dog isnt contained from the boundaries like ours, and is constantly complained about by their other neighbours. so for now with them formally warned to modify their yard and butt out, ther is an uneasy calm, im just waiting for the next letter though…way i see it they have too many cats also…might not even miss the big fluffy one that steals our cats food…

Good on you Slink! It’s great when you have authority on your side
This reminded me of a note that I put on a car that was parked over two parking spaces in front of our house last week. It went something like:
‘Your inconsiderate parking is unacceptable. If you park in a similar manner again in this street, you will be towed’
I haven’t seen the car since
Which is a good thing because according to the man, it would take about 2 weeks for the council to tow the car……..
Expecting to see you on Neighbours At War any day now…
We never have anything to do with our neighbours now the “bloke” in the lebanese relationship across the road doesn’t have our puppy to get antsy at. Not sure how someone with a huuuuuuuge dog made entirely of muscle could get upset about a Labrador getting near her dog. People are strange man.
haha the sarcastic old cow resorted to disturbing the peace by playing classic hits at the top of her stereo (actually sounded like a mild buzzing…) obviously forgetting rule number one of war, size up your opponent. having possession of a high end pioneer home theater system complete with 2 subs, it wasnt hard to drown out her best attempt. i mean i didnt even have to crank over the 1/3 mark! and so while it seems a stalemate has been achevied for today.
If the stereo warfare fails slink, I say resort to the world war one trench warfare tactic of mining under the neighbors house and packing it full of explosives. If explosives are unattainable, play the waiting game and hope for a sinkhole opening under there house.
Also save up any unwanted KFC coleslaw and keep it in the hot water cupboard. Wait until its at least a month past it’s expiry date (6 months would be my preference) and throw it over the fence next time they hanging there washing out. That way if you miss them at least you get there washing to smell rank.
