run in with the neighbor...

Tink · 15-07-2007, 07:02 AM

well, i just had it out with our neighbor who was drunk AGAIN as usual!!! My bf and I were carrying in groceries from our errands this evening and he came up our driveway stumbling shouting that he was going to shoot our dogs in the head if he ever sees them because he thinks they are responsible for cat deaths in the neighborhood. Mind you, our dogs are strictly indoors and are never let out unless we are putting them in the car to go for a run at the river. I was already in a bad mood and livid he made a threat to murder my dogs and kussed him out. My bf can hold his temper better than I can and called me into the house before it could escalate further. A minute later we heard loud banging on our door. My bf yelled through the door that if it was him to go away and he said he wouldn't. My bf then said you have three seconds to leave before I call the police. It fell silent behind the door. Now I am so angry and fearful for my dogs lives...he is so drunk all the time what if he goes up to our fence and shoots them in our backyard?? I don't trust him at all. I also know he uses cocaine because he offered it to me before (I refused). What do I do???

OMG what a delightful neighbor.
As threats have been made, do you think the police would do anything about it?
I dont know what to suggest really, sounds terrible and I am really sorry that you have to put up with that kind of stuff.
I sincerely hope he doesnt do anything to the dogs.
Why would he think that your dogs are responsible anyway?

Oh what an awful situation for you

I'd be inclined to let the police know about the threats. Let us know how you get on

Yup, I'd go down the police route if you can Tink. A nightmare situation. Could you perhaps look in to moving? Not the perfect solution of course but for your own peace of mind it may be what's needed!

What an awful neighbour Tink

I too would be inclined to let the police know that this man has been threatening both you and your dogs .........maybe they could put a restraining order on him for threatening behaviour....

Please let us know if anything else develops.....

What a horrible situation! Yes, do notify the police and ask if a restraining order can be issued! You want it to be on record if anything further happens, God forbid!

How awful for you. I agree with what others have said. Poor you ((hugs))
