O/T: Neighbor Problems -- Again

[Cheetos mom]

Walking your pup on a leash is a good measureagainst possible legal actions later. Otherwise, the Knucklehead couldcome up with some bizarre accusations later.

Hopefully, this situation will get better.

A few months ago, I posted that my neighbor had threatenedmy dog with a hammer. Well, things had quieted down for alittle while. It's been getting progressively worseagain. Today he was out there threatening Harley again andwhen I went out to get Harley (as soon as he started to bark) he toldme he was going to "kill that dog".

I went inside and started to e-mail the ASPCA about all these problems,when I had a knock at my door, the police. Apparently theneighbor reported that he feels threatened by my dog. Iexplained all the problems to the cop and he was really nice andbasically agreed that the neighbor is an all around problem, but saidhe can't do anything unless the neighbor actually does something.

So, now I don't know what to do at all. Shawn and I arelooking for a house, but we just haven't found anything. Iknow I need to take the dog out on a leash from now on, just to makesure nothing is done to him, but Harley just loves to be outside allthe time and I'm concerned to leave the house if the neighbor isoutside. It's an awful situation. I really needsome advice, I just don't know what to do anymore.

Edit: Well, I tried to e-mail the ASPCA, but the local contact's e-mailisn't working. Does anyone know someone to contact?I just want to make sure I have everything on record, just in case ofthe unthinkable.

How long have you had to live by this jerk?Do you know if yourneighbor is himself maybe moving real soon?Maybe he should move so thatway you wouldn't have to move. It sounds like this guyhasproblems.Maybe he should go the nut house.Also,I waswondering if your dog would chase off your neighbor,if indeed he everwould do something stupid to your dog?I hope this jerk leaves your dogalone and doesn't do anything stupid.

Well, I've worked out a few things, Harley onlygoes out on the front of the house now. I talked to our otherneighbor and she said it was ok if he went somewhat on theirproperty. We're just concerned that the other nut will comearound the house. I really wouldn't put anything pasthim. I'm able to see Harley all the time not though or I stayoutside with him.

Shawn talked to a friend in the State Police and he said we need topress the local police to press formal charges of making terroristicthreats because the neighbor once threatened my life. He alsosaid that if they won't do it (because rumor has it the neighbor is anarc) that he will open an investigation into the entire policedepartment. I really don't want it to come to that, but we'llsee. I just don't want trouble to continue for my Mom and herfiance when I move out.

Meanwhile, Shawn and I are continuing the house hunt in the hopes offinding something soon so we can get Harley out of there.

Thanks again for all the kind thoughts and prayers, I know they will help keep Harley safe.

Oh goodness, I really thought I had figured out how to handle this crazy man, but today, he pulled a new one.

Apparently a man whose mother is a patient at the nursing home where mymom's a nurse, overheard a conversation between my mom and a coworkerabout the crazy neighbor. The man told my mom that he knewthe neighbor and would say something to him about it, but my mom askedhim not to. Well, he must have said something because today,another "friend" of the neighbor was knocking on our door to talk tomom's fiance. He proceeded to lecture Dean (mom's fiance)about getting along with your neighbors. Dean said he didn'tdo anything and that the neighbor was threatening me and mydog. The neighbor was listening and promptly shouted that Iwas lying about the entire thing.

The friend said that this man from mom's work had threatened theneighbor and had gotten his motorcycle friends after the neighbor, soapparently the neighboris .

Now I'm concerned that the neighbor is going to cause more troublefor me so I just don't even want to see him. This is justawful!!! I'mso..... of the whole thing.

Oh Jen, I am so sorry - things just seem to begoing from bad to worse. Usually, I would suggest a talk with theneighbour, but I don't think that's an option in your case as he soundstotally unreasonable. Is there anyone this neighbour trusts that couldbe used as a meditor? I really wish you all the luck with this. We arehaving problems with our neighbours and I know how stressful itis. - Jan

I was wondering if you can get a ppo against this guy? ppo is apersonal protection order.The ppo would have to keep him away from youand your house.This is just a suggestion.

Pepper -- Believe me, I've thought aboutit. The one cop I talked to said I might be able to get one,but we'll see. I haven't seen him in days and days.My mom's fiance's brother works for the water company andhetold us that the neighbor didn't pay his bill and now has nowater. HAHAHAHA..... LMAO about that one.My concern now is for his dogs (2 beautiful chows), if they have nowater, and I'm not even sure they are living there right now, how isanyone taking care of them? I'm going to talk to the guy fromthe water company tomorrow at a family thing and if they still don'thave water, I'm going to call my local humane society and the SPCA andmaybe another rescue group I know in the area.

That jerk shouldn't have no animals,since he can't take care ofthem.I hope his dogs are ok.His dogs need to be rescued.

I have been in your shoes, it is HORRIBLE, andwhat's worse is that even after you've moved and your settled in toyour new lifestyle, it will always huant you. It is SO rough. Have youbeen documenting the neighbors threats? You need to go to the policestation and doccument them and keep up with it. Do you have any friendsor family that would take your dog? If not, perhaps you could contact arescue, let them know that you're actively looking for a new house, butyour worried about your dogs safety, perhaps youcould fosterone of their animals that has to be kept indoors in return of themfostering your dog.

Take care and be safe,

Megan

Megan -- Yeah, we've documented and reportedeverything. Things have settled down now that we aren't surehe's even living there anymore. If things get bad again,either my brother and his girlfriend are going to take the dog until Imove or I'm going to move into my brother's house (it's just sitting,he doesn't want to sell it, but he's basically living at hisgirlfriend's) and take the dog. My moving seems like the bestsolution and may happen soon anyway. I'm actually going totalk to my brother about it tomorrow. I have someone at workwho I've trained and he's just waiting for me to leave so he can havemy job (my boss knows I'm leaving, so he set it up nicely for me -- Idid him a favor taking the job in the first place). I justneed to look for a job in that area, it's near where Shawn and I arelooking, so it would work well.
