Today I had to give away my two Labs, b/c my neighbor called the cops twice in two days(Friday and then Saturday) about them being in his yard. I was given a $500 fine and told that if I got rid of the dogs that the fine would be waived. I typically lock them up when I'm gone, but while I'm at home I let them roam around the yard(2 acres). They never wander very far or are in the streets chasing cars. My neighbor has never once complained about my dogs. In fact he killed one of the Labs' puppies two weeks ago while I was in the yard, b/c she wandered into the street while he was going about 40mph(speed limit is 25mph). I heard it yelping and saw that half of its body was crushed by the impact. It was coughing up blood and had ribs protruding from its body. I ended up shooting it after being unable to contact an open vet. on a Sunday at 7:00pm. I was pretty burned up by that, especially when I saw the blood stain where the impact occurred being off of the road(meaning he went off of the road and into my yard to hit it). He came out of his house while I was trying to figure out what to do with the dog. He lied and told me that he locked up his brakes trying to avoid hitting it and that she shouldn't have been in the road. I was outside in the backyard at the time and the only thing I heard was the yelps of the puppy and the howling by its mother. I kind of just glared at him and he walked away. About a year ago, another one of my dogs was mysteriously poisoned and I spent almost a $1000 in vet. bills before he died. This neighbor also used to have an auto shop and I had him work on an electric system in an older car that I had three years ago. The car was never actually fixed and an auto part that supposed was replaced was never put into the car, although I was charged for it. He has since lost his business, but leeches off of his wife who is a registered nurse. I have had the nagging urge to walk over to his house and beat the living sh!t out of him for the last few days. I'm losing sleep at night and I'm pretty upset about the dogs. I'm affraid that I can't even even risk going next door to even say anything, b/c of what I might do. The man is a thief, a murderer, and a coward. What would you do?
 
wow...

speechless man... my thoughts go out to you... id kill someone if they ever hurt my dogs. i would have paid the fine and kept the dogs and put up a bigger fence so i know they never get off my property.

id call the cops and get this all on paper... who knows how far this can go if he keeps persisting


DONT touch the guy... you'll get in trouble... bc at this point you cant 'prove' any of this.. then you look like the crazy neighbor
 
Yeah... I understand your urge to pummel this guy. Is there any way you can keep your dogs in your yard?

I would get even. There are PLENTY of things to do to this guy and/or his belongings without getting caught. But, I would wait awhile... it would seem too obvious if something happened tomorrow.

I'm all about getting even.

That sounds pretty juvenile and won't bring back his dogs.

My fence is four feet high all around. My labs could jump over them at a stand still, so its not like the would stay put, unless they were tied to a tree with a leash(I wouldn't do that). I gave them away to people who will care for them and to avoid any further problems from the neighbor. I could expect this kind of a response if I actually lived in the city, but I live in the country. I reluctantly gave them away, b/c my girlfriend seems to believe that maybe he(the neighbor) is grief stricken, b/c his father in-law, who lived with him, died a week and a half ago. She doesn't want to create any drama, even though I'm all for skull dragging that bastard into the street and running over him repeatedly with my car.

I would probably think revenge but wouldn't go through with it. Too many repercussions.

Yeah... that is the one thing that even angers a person more... knowing your 'hands are tied'. That is a HORRIBLE feeling on top of the tragedy that has already occurred.

Good luck w/ the situation, slow-mun.

Only thing you could have done is try better to keep your dogs on the property. Im not saying your at fault. The guy is a douche, and karma will bite him in the ass for sure, I just hope that you are their to see it, or you at least hear about it.
 
Agree with everything said above in finding a way to make sure the dogs will not be able to be put in harms way because of this sociopath waste of life (yes I feel very attached to my dog and if anything like this happened I would be going insane.)

However don't do anything physical or leaves the potential to have repercussions on yourself. Instead I would personally walk over (with a close friend who knows the story) and clearly outline how you feel and the consequences that will happen if anything like this ever happens again (and your friend will be there incase he starts instigating sh*t.)

Fighting him won't bring your dogs back and will create a whole extra load of trouble both mentally and with the law.

I feel for you bro, I really do, but best of luck dealing with this jerkoff.

I agree 100%. But, "revenge is the sweetest joy next to gettin' pus5y".

What would you do? Turn the other cheek?

What do you want to do call a Jihad?

Revenge is for the weak. Everybody already thinks they are a victim, and try to rationalize their actions. Sure my first impulse would be to crush the guys skull in, but to every action is a reaction. If freedom or life have no value. Revenge is your answer.

The second time, the cops were called, the dogs were locked up and not in his yard. The police officer sympathized with me and told me that if he kept on calling the police that they'd have to side with him and have the dogs put down. He said that it would be in my best interest to just give them away. He actually said that my neighbor seemed like kind of a d!ck and appologized.
 
I suppose I shouldn't have said, "I would...". No, it's not smart given that a there is no law against being an a$shole (the neighbor).

Revenge is for the weak? In most circumstances, sure. But, there are exceptions. This may or may not be one... I can't make the judgment on that.

If someone blatantly disrespects you, would just lie down and take it 'like a man'? I'm not really saying go crush the guy w/ a baseball bat, but if I see him drop a $100 bill on the ground, I'd be damned if I returned it to him.

So, I'm in agreement w/ you guys that say you shouldn't do anything. But, I know what it feels like to be in a 'helpless' position... and it can drive you crazy.

I'd have to think that there are so many ways something like that could affect him that it would be hard to blame him for lashing out. After all, you are talking about wanting to lash out at him over the dogs, not sure if you've had a more or less immediate family member die. and I can imagine his wife is not exactly the happiest either as it was her dad. He's probably under a bunch of stress. Maybe a **** anyhow, but let natural causes take care of him, it usually does.

Be the more mature man, and don't do something you will regret later just out of emotional pain.

That may explain him calling the cops, but it doesn't explain him poisoning a dog, running over a dog, and ripping me off for $800 dollars worth of undone, mechanical work in the last three years. I'm probably not going to do anything, but man I feel like I have to do something. Its literally making me sick inside.
 
yeah, really no way to excuse those. For me tho, its better in that sort of case to just not associate with the person, and avoid them in the future.

the problem is that all you gain by doing something is some temporary satisfaction, but it would likely come with permanent problems.
 
build a bigger fence.
one that is made of concrete and steel and is at least 20 ft high.
and don't build it around your place.....i recommend building it around his place.
and make sure it has no doors or openings so he can't get out!

WTF? What does Slo-mun have to do with this guys step dad dying? Nothing. You're saying this guy killing 2 of his dogs is not worthy for him to want to lash out. Sure, he shouldn't lash out, it will only cause more problems, but the feeling is certainly justified.

I've been in similar situations and it is so unbelievably frustrating. Your hands are tied. If we were living in roman times you would have the guys head on a stick. Just realize he's a POS and that you're not, that's really all you can focus on.

I would feel exactly the same in his shoes. He's totally justified in wanting to beat the guy's head in (as emotions are emotions), but actually doing it is a whole different question. Thats kind of the whole point of civilization. Its impossible to say "I just won't feel that way because its a bad idea" but controlling how the emotion makes you act is possible.
 
Sneak into his house and cut off his rat tail, then glue it to his wife's chin. Not sure how that would help, but it might bring some sliver of amusement to the situation.

On a more serious note, I'm sorry you had to give away your dogs. As that would be something that I would personally find incredibly difficult, as i've had to do it once before. (Moved to Australia, back when they had a 6 month quarantine policy for incoming animals) All I can do is offer you condolences at this point, and hope things get better (i.e. the man suffers severe harm)

It sounded to me like you were saying Slo-mun should be understanding of the guys actions because he had a family member die, which obviously Slo-mun had nothing to do with.
 
wasn't really intentional. the guy is a jackass, but I still would have a little compassion for his family right now even if not particularly for him.

6 months or a year from now, you bump into him in a bar, might be worth verbally abusing him to get him to swing on you :) but even if it happened tonite I wouldn't do that to start the fight, just cause of the death in the family.
 
Get one of those noise boxes that makes a barking noise.. they sell them for home security..
but dont have any dogs on your property

he might hear the barking... and call the cops to get you in trouble. if there arent any dogs on your property... then you just proved hes out to get you.
 
Nothing against homosexuals... whatever floats your boat.

But, I sense a lot of closet lurkers on many of these BB boards. Creeeeepy.
 
Google revenge,or buy a book on it.There are all sorts of fun ways to get even that he cant prove it's you, even though he will know it is.
Beating his arse would be a great thing, too bad people go to jail for that, cause there are some people who truly need it.


2 things to get even with him, just off the top of my head:
1.sign him up for enough junk mail, to fill a small truck. Before long, he will start getting mail by the sackfull.

2. call a bunch of repair places, like plumers, roofers, and whatnot, and schedule them all to come out at the same day and time. should cause a minor traffic jam on your street, and make a lot of people mad at your neighbor.

3. wait a while before you do it. if you did it tomorrow, it would be too obvious.

Payback is a beeyotch.
