Default Why I've Not Been Around...

Thank you to the people who have sent me messages both on and of YT to see how I am and where I am.

I'm actually in the process of moving house and I only have a two week overlap with the properties and there's a lot to do on my own. I have all the old house to empty and clean and the new house to put everything away and it's just so slow going.

On top of that I've been having issues with my (old) neighbour.... when I first moved in their dogs would bark at Gypsy and they wouldn't tell them to shut up. I couldn't even open my back door without them barking. As a result Gypsy would bark back and when I got Kayla it took a matter of weeks before she caught on and started barking too. I've always told my girls to be quiet, tried different techniques etc, about 10% of the time I could let them out with no noise what so ever but then eventually they would bark back.

Two weeks ago my neighbour started making remarks, in the previous 18months he's never said a word other than occassionally shouting shut up or throwing stones at the fence to scare my girls to stop them barking, needless to say the stone trick DIDN'T work! I'd hear remarks about shooting my girls, having them PTS, etc, all with cuss words. Then last week, Thursday, the day I was getting the keys he started shouting at me over the fence, calling me names, blaming MY dogs for the barking, then rounded off the tongue lashing with calling me a "f-ing thick c***" before slamming his door! Later that night my neighbour from the otherside told me how she'd heard what he'd called me... from inside her house! That's how loud he shouted at me.

Friday I moved out... mattress on the floor in the front room, took my girls and had no intention of sleeping in that house again and being there next to him.

Saturday my furniture was moved up here but my friend with the van didn't have time to bring my rabbit hutch up so Tye had to stay down there. Not really a problem because I was going to have to be back and forth between the houses moving the things from under the stairs and spare room, cleaning, etc.

Sunday was the day planned for sorting the grass at the new house so Amelia could play outside and the girls wouldn't be walking through really long grass... except someone broke into the shed at the old house and stole the strimmer and extension cable! The house was secure, no forced entry, the fence between me and my nice neighbour isn't accessible but you could clearly see where other neighbours fence had been climbed over! I hoped that was going to be the end of it, he's stole from me, made himself feel better about my "problem dogs" and managed to p!ss me off... game over... right?

Wrong!

Monday and Tuesday I was back and forth. My friend was down there with me Monday while we sorted some stuff in the spare room and Tuesday we had a van down there. Again my friend didn't have time to move Tye and her hutch so it was arranged she was going to be collected at the weekend and being as I still had things to do at that house she would be fine.

Today I go to the house to give her food and water and check on her. As I pull on my driveway I see next door near his car, he looked at me and smirked and went inside. I go in the house and there is a notice from the RSPCA, (Animal Welfare), saying they have taken my rabbit because it's been neglected!!!!!! I phoned them and I'm waiting on the officer who took her to phone me back, which could take a couple of days. They basically already told me it's unlikely I can have her back though because I've neglected her!

I've never neglected any of my animals, they have always been pampered and spoilt even Tye! I'm so angry, upset, stressed, etc, etc....

So yeah, moving isn't going very well.... and that's why I've not been around.

Vicky, what a SOB! I am sorry for the added stress of worrying about Tye.
What a creep! Thank heavens you are now out of that neighborhood.
I really feel sorry for the next family that moves in that house.
I hope you can get your rabbit back. That's so sad. I really was
scared reading your post because I thought you were going to say
he killed Tye so I was relieved he didn't. Animal welfare has to give
you a chance to prove yourself and I hope it all works out for you.
That's terrible. So much unneeded stress on top of everything else.
Hope it works out for you.

I was afraid of the same thing! I'm glad Tye wasn't hurt but what a neighboor!! How could anyone do such a thing? I hope you get a chance to prove that Tye is just as another member of your spoiled bunch and he can come home. I can't get over how mean spirited this man is.

Typical of that kind of person, they cause all the problems then you get the trouble. I really hope the RSPCA do listen to you and you get your tabbit back but from what I've been reading about them on the net just lately I wouldn't hold my breath.

That is amazing. I'm so sorry you're going through this. What a jerk!! Perhaps your other neighbors can speak on your behalf? Some people can be such *%^&*%@ 's ! At least you won't have to deal with him anymore. He'll get what's coming to him - someday.

Wow, that "IS" a lot to deal with. What a crumb of a guy to be so nastey with you.........he needs an attitude adjustment!

So sorry you had so much trouble; hopefully you have moved into a much better place with better neighbors. Maybe "his" new neighbor won't be so nice and he will wish you were back!

So sorry this happened to you. I didn't think they could just come and take your animal with out first doing a little investigation and giving you a warning or something. That is just crazy. Thank goodness your babies weren't in the yard they might have taken them.
I hope it all works out and your get your bunny back.

Thanks everyone. I'm really hoping that with the police report about the incidents that the RSPCA will see that it is just a case of being spiteful and that there was no need to of taken her. I'm trying to remain positive and that I'll get her back but the RSPCA are a law of their own.

I've been trying to think positive and hope they'll see what's happened.

The RSPCA can and will take any animal they see as being abandoned. The chances are the neighbour has told them that I've moved out and not taken her and no one is caring for her. For the most part of Monday and Tuesday there was someone at the house either in the morning or the afternoon. No one has been round from the RSPCA and nothing was put through my door prior today. I have two pieces of paper that were left today, one was an inspection document detailing the rabbit and the other was a welfare assessment form which basically said Tye had no access to food and water, the hutch wasn't a suitable home, she had no social interaction. The good parts were that she didn't look underfed and the hutch was clean. I assure you if someone had actually of been round when I was there then there would of been NO issue with them issuing a warning never mind wanting to take her because my rabbit, along with my Yorkies and hamster were well cared for.

Thanks Ann, that means a lot. I'm starting to feel pretty abandoned by friends round here, (where I live) because no one actually seemed to care what was going on and how upset I was other than my friends husband. Lucky for me I have a good couple of online friends who've been supportive.

Hopefully once I'm fully moved and I've handed the keys back to the other house everything will settle down.

Oh Vicky, I'm sorry that neighbor is such an A_S!!! I hope when you explain to the RSPCA your true side of the story, they listen and give you Tye back. It's good your moving away from someone like that but you don't need this added stress. Good Luck to you Vicky. I hope you get Tye back.

Thanks Dawn, I really hope I do as well. I'm just saddened and sickened by someone treating me this way and to tell lies and have one of my pets taken from me just really hurts.
