White trash update

So, today @ 8:30 am those dogs started barking again. Of course I was up, as Andrew decided to get up at 6:15 this morning (ugh!), but with all the windows open, it was annoying. So, I made the executive decision to call the cops & it was a very good call! The officer agreed with me that the noise is excessive, and said it's too bad there are neighbors like this. She rents the house from her brother - the officer said I should stay out of things, but he said he is going to send the ticket to her brother because it will probably have a greater impact than if it went to her. He said it will be easy to do since no one was home, all he needs to do is look up the registered owner to the house & it's done. I asked him about the harrassment - nothing they can do. He said ignore her & she'll eventually get tired of yelling to herself! I think I'll wait a couple weeks & see if this ticket has any impact. On the bright side - it's almost winter so the house will be shut up anyway!

Holy smokes...first off awesome job with all the confrentation! Do what the police officer tells you to do and I bet you more than anything the family will deal with their mess. Ingnore the little B and stick to your guns. But if it doesn't get better and you guys can't see yourselves in that house for the long haul, then pick up and move to someplace you are happier in.

That woman sounds like a nightmare! I think you handled yourself wonderfully. Hopefully her family can set her straight. What sucks is that you are always at risk of having a crazy neighbor no matter where you go, so hopefully you won't have to resort to moving elsewhere. At least the police seem to be responsive and are on your side - that's a good thing! Hang in there.
