Chuck you are such a nice and patient person..:smile:

I could kill my neighboors ever barking histericaly Chuaua easy easy...:tongue: if I had the guts for it...it's a cute little thing but always irritantly barking to everyone or thing...:rolleyes:

Anyways hope everything will be fine and peaceful for you.

I'm a lot less tolerant than you might've expected there, Gisella. But even I deserve more than to be accosted by one of the few things in the world that scares me.
I'm only just praying that this guy is renting and not a homeowner.

Report the dogs. It is not just your safety. What about a child in the area.

Then I'd slip ol pops of the dogs some lemon-aid. I hear anti-freeze makes a nice sweetner...:tongue:

Nowhere near you
It's not the dogs' fault they haven't been properly trained. Your response was reasonable and measured.

If you haven't had a problem since the incident you described, I'd be inclined to let the matter lie. If the dogs are still disturbing or threatening you, then make a complaint... but understand that this will likely lead to lasting bad blood between your friend and her neighbour.

His response, guffawing was "Well, I said I promised, I didn't say they promised!"...

..."Well, don't you use that on my dogs!" He said, angrily. "They was just havin' fun!"
I would've answered, "So was I." :biggrin1:

I view kids and dogs the same way... I love them both, UNLESS they're bad. Then, I have no time for them, and HATE their "parents". I'm a firm believer in the phrase, "There's no such thing as a bad kid, just bad parents."

This guy is the one letting these dogs misbehave. He's obviously taking no steps to control them, and your non-physical defense was the most humane, and best approach.

Slip the dogs some Ex-Lax or Hormel chili right out of the can a couple times, and the owner will have to explain the mess or get rid of the dogs. It worked wonders on the heel-nipping dachsunds next door to me. I mixed in some Jalapeno peppers with the chili and they were shitting fire the next morning. They haven't screwed with me since.

Chuck, I admire your responsible and calm response. You did absolutely nothing wrong. You tried to be a friendly and considerate neighbor. You confronted the owner directly, and expressed your concern, and didn;t ask him to do anything unreasonable. When the owner not only refused to do anything, but intentionally placed you in harms way by indicating that his animals were under control, when they clearly were not, you responded with a legal, humane device to protect yourself. I, too, love animals, and pets are a wonderful experience. But pet owners have a responisbility to their pets, and to others, to train and guard their pets behavior. Not only for people's sake, but for their pet's sake as well. If his dog bit you, you would be well within your right to file charges against him, and have the dog put down, as a public danger. And it is because the dog was not controlled or trained by the owner, but has to suffer the consequences. Too bad they don;t make devices that ward off and control irresponsible HUMANS like they do for animals..:rolleyes: And, for Lex and the pooping neighbors. I guess you are less vindictive than I am. If I knew the owners of the animals who were allowing their dogs to poop in my yard without cleaning it up, and even after confronting them, they blew it off, I suspect those people would find said dog poop planted in delayed response ways that would be publically humiliating and quite unpleasant for the owners. But I digress.....

Almost had an incident with the guy yet again this morn. I was getting up, looked out my window to see the guy's walking one of the pooches, and he (The dog) almost went near my car tire to uh, excuse himself. Well, I'm looking out almost offended that the guy doesn't keep the mutt off & away from other tenants vehicles, & he dares to look at me with a confused perplexed & if not paranoid stare.

I'm telling you; If the poochie even sniffs at my tire/car again, I'm gonna electrify the fucking thing & give Bowser Bently a nice li'l something to think about, & damn the fucking association if they don't do something more than verbally warn him.

Why don't you zap the asshole attached to the dog, Chuck?

don't give me any ideas like that on my day off there, John. I'm in that bad of a fuckin' mood from the last five days of work, I might just act on them.:rolleyes: :mad:

This sounds like a job for the old Jedi Mind Trick:

"These aren't the droids you're looking for..."

I'd prefer using Darth Vader's force grip he used on the imperial officer in Episode IV on the death star.:biggrin1: :tongue: :mad: "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

UPDATE PARTIII:

Well, now, this is rich; My landlady/friend confronted the dude in the hallway other day, and discovered that the pooches are somewhere in the 12-14 yrs old age. Plus, the guy said that "I know your friend don't like me." Gee, whatever could've prompted that do you wonder?:confused: :tongue:

On top of that, she now says the guy's really nice and cool. And she doesn't know where he could've gotten this idea. and she's now considering putting the ceritified letter on the back burner for now.

Villifying the victim. Fuck , if I don't hafta get the fucking hell outta here b4 I say/do something I'll regret.

You need to fart on her, too, Chuck. Get more take-out Indian food.

I still stand by my original solution (see post #25). If nothing else, the dogs will "relieve" themselves in the guy's apartment and he'll have to deal with the stench....
