People who don’t clean up after their dogs are THE WORST.
And it’s even worse when their pooches let loose in your yard or in your garden.
Yuck!
That’s what started the riff you’re going to be read about.
Continue on to see how it ended!
My neighbor decided to tear down the fence and ended up losing some of her yard space.
“This was several years ago.
My dad has lived in the house I grew up in and we have had the same neighbor the entire time.
One day I’m home and I can hear a lot of noise coming from the backyard. Apparently she had decided that it was time to redo the fence.
Just for context, the fence was falling apart and it needed to go. I called my dad and told him that she had apparently torn down the fence and decided that it was time.
Doh!
He wasn’t happy, however he also didn’t mind because the holes in the fence allowed her five dogs to frequently come into our yard and poop all over his garden and they dug up a few of his plants on occasion.
After the fence was down, she put down a string for where she thought the property line was. When my dad came home, he didn’t like it and put down one of his own. The two lines of string were approximately one foot apart.
After discussing it with her (my dad was always civil about everything, usually not showing when he was upset at something), they decided to call in someone from the city to mark it for them.
Well, that’s pretty satisfying!
She ended up losing part of her yard because when the properties were built, the builders did not put the fence on the property line correctly.”

Be a good neighbor, folks…or else you might end up paying for it!
