My one ONE neighbor is a nutcase, insane, not using addict. great huh?
He called animal control two times on my dogs barking. Most of you know how much I love my dogs and they are very well trained, be it still idiots at times!
They do not bark. On a sunday I was out playing with them for about twenty min. Throwing things, wrestling around, sure they barked in fun. I thought I bet he calls animal control tomorrow. He did. I marched myself over there.
I was so mad at first as I listened to him and realized he is nuts. Told me not to feed the birds as that makes them make a mess on his property. get it?? He said sooo many lies about my dogs, said he hears the truckers honk at my house, that they are trying to dodge my dogs. right. My dogs are in cattle panel fencing. Nothing can get out of that. Plus the little ones wear these cute wings I make so they cannot get out either.
Lie after lie. early one morn I saw a guy up by my driveway. walked up to see if he needed help. He was just trying to find a signal for his phone as he truck broke. We talked awhile and my pom fezzik was visiting with him. Well neighbor told me how my dog was bothering this guy up on the road. He had not seen me up there. jerk. there was lots more. I told him that is NONE of your business!.
Then I listened to him for about 3 hours. NO question he is an A. great. ONE frigging neighbor and he is a crack pot. lol
I talked to a friend/ neighbor who is a dep sheriff to see if I needed to charge him with stalking as he knew things about me over here I mean LOTS of things! he said no so far it was just human nature to watch whta your neigbor is doing. I said I must not be human and I have NO idea what he is doing and don't care.
sigh. So anyway dep sheriff just said to make sure my dogs are all licensed so he can say nothing. Its free range up here so I can have my dogs bark all day if I want to. I don't.
(Plus he said since I complained about the meth jerks, they have busted them twice for meth and stolen stuff!)
soooo yikes I am going to get them all done this week. REally have to budget big time and plan. But its worth it.
After another thing of some idiot on my property....I got a guard dog. well puppy, 10 mo. Akbash and Great Pyr. HUGE, I mean tall as a great dane and wide. HUGE big white guy. divorce situation, wife would not let husband have him. she left him outside alone from 11 weeks to 9 months. horrible as he is a HUGE puppy with no training. He is doing sooo much better now.
took lots of patience I tell ya. he would grab you adn your cloths with his mouth. big no no. I cannot flip him on his side either so I have to grab him over his bridge of his nose and sorta push his lips into his mouth. I say leave it. He learned in ONE day who the alpha was. NO longer using mouth.
BUT the other dogs hated him. He is like a four mo. pup clumzy huge foot in their face him biting them, climbing on them. they were soooo not happy. bwt his name is Yeti, means hairy big creature, big foot.
He was so lonely soooo I had to make the decision to get another dog. Her name is kira, she is wolamute, malamute and timber wolf. I accidently got a very good dog. they do not bark or protect are very docile. She was from the same situation,thrown into back yard. She is also all white. those two played so much the first day they slept allll the next.
One more someone was by my truck and car AGAIN but this time Yeti went nuts, I went out and saw this person with a hood walking very fast away, I let the back yard dogs out and they went nuts smelling around my vehicles. NO problems since. he is quiet only until something is not right. He is not a watch dog, he is a guard dog. Guard dogs are usually very quiet, so people don't know what they are going to do, they will do plenty if you get on their territory.
sooo the neighbor has not said a peep. But he will. He told me he worries about my big dogs getting out and chasing his 86 year old mother. Number one they don't get out, number two they don't chase anyone.
So now i know what and who I am dealing with. can't win eh?
My inside dogs are ok with YEti now, no problem with Kira at all. she is 7 mo.both are altered.
I feel so much better now knowing he is an A. Its no surprise anymore what makes him tic.
Now I know to ignore and protect me. He cannot go near my fence anymore....
So next is a fence.....10 feet tall, and a moat, and......(c:
Debber...you have a full life and I'm glad you have Yeti and Kira and the others making family with you. Not all humans are as sane and reliable as our dogs. With all of the bigness of the pups I was focusing on that great sign of beauty in the palm of your hand. That shows me your heart...soooo beautiful and perfect. I too am a fan of all things feathers. Your brother ((((hugs))))
Nice pictures! I am curious about the hummer pic. The only time I can take pics that close up of a bird, such as a CA finch, is when it has run into our window and is a bit stunned.
If that bird wasn't shocked by something, then my dear lady, you do have the touch! Or should say a heart of gold. Animals can sense whom to trust.

Deb, It's always so nice to read a post from you. Even when the world is going nuts, you handle it all so well. Love the pix of the puppies? You say? I think they are furry little angels, is what I think. Or furry big angels, more likely. Tell them they have a fan in Texas. Hugs, Temple

think you to every one of you! The Hum feeder is above my slider, they are always flying in here in to my cabin! I just went up to it scooped it up and it just sat there, so took a picture! they are not shy at all.
Yes they are puppies. big one is 10 mo. smaller is 7 mo! Yeti was taking everything off the counters for me...his head is right at the counter!
Its amazing how he mellowed out once he had Kira. dogs are pack animals, so I sure see the proof.
Yes using program in all my life has made it sooo much better no question. to me it gives me a humble power. It makes it possible for me to take care of me and not have to listen to anyone make any comments about two more dogs. I feel safe, I AM safe now no question.
well ya my life is sure never boring, thats for sure lol. Now I am concerned about my homeless guy I try to keep an eye on. Have not seen him for too long. so will have to go check on him.
hugs you guys, deb
