So, I've been living in this house since last June and have never had an issue. However, within the past week (a little less), there is a neighbor on the road behind my house that has a new dog/puppy. It looks like a yellow lab...maybe about 8 or 9 months old.

They have always had a couple of dogs but they use that invisible fence system. The two dogs they had when we moved here, never left their yard. I just assumed they had that invisible fence.

But there is a new one now and it doesn't care about the invisible fence. It keeps coming over here (and all up and down the road). I see it's collar and it has a little box on the collar so I know that is what it is. However, that box hangs down and doesn't even touch the dog's neck - duh people.

Their road isn't a big deal EXCEPT for the dog going in everyone's yards and peeing and pooping. But my house is on friggin MAIN ST. And this dog stays at my back fence and in my yard because I take my dogs out. He pees at Shelby, Shelby pees at him. They run the fence line, which I am sure Shelby loves - he has a little friend. HOWEVER, Mandie is not keen on this dog and she goes batty barking. Last night at 11PM, this happened. And, just now again.

I can't have this dog constantly in my yard, pooping, and getting dangerously close to the main road. It's annoying me AND scaring me that he's gonna get run over.

So, I have never had to call Animal Control before. I shouldn't have had to today. After last night, when the owner lady came out at 11PM and called her dang dog back home, I figured she would get a better handle on him. Guess not.

I'm now waiting on Animal Control to call me back because the lady wasn't there. I left a message. If she doesn't call me back, I may have to be that neighbor everyone hates and go talk to those people in person tonight. Grrrr
