No, what this jerk does is stand about 2 feet away from our window and screw with her. He especially loves that she growls and freaks out about his huge boxer- although that's the biggest boxer i've ever seen. It's probably a mix. If I didn't know any better, I'd think he's trained it to pee under our window on PURPOSE. However, I doubt he did, it just likes to. I'm not as angry with the dog- it doesn't know any better.
To Flying nimbus- Yeah, you'd think he wouldn't. You'd also think that a grown man would have a job. he does this SEVERAL times a day. He's always walking his dang dog, and the dang thing poops these tar black stools and he just leaves them there. I haven't ever seen any one act like this before, and I'm getting riled up just thinking about it. I'm definitely not in the habit of lying about things; I'm pretty honest to a fault. I also waited months to say anything. Husband even thought we might have been "wrong" but then saw it with his own eyes. He'll yell get away, too, but like I said, he doesn't care one whit. we do have a camera-just bought one. We thought it would be best to get one just in case we are gone for any length of time. I'll set it up, though because I should have thought about that from the get- go. He won't go around when she's not gone, as this seems to be his only amusement. I agree with you, she loves animals and people, and it makes me simultaneously enraged and heartbroken for her, because I don't see her wanting to see "friends" (especially men that look like this guy) as much. She's not mean; she's just not ooooh!! FRIEND! |
You still have a right to your personal privacy, not to be frequently harassed and your dog terrorized by anyone no matter where you live. I'd call my HOA and police and ask about how to obtain my personal rights from harassment and what steps need to be taken to stop this wingnut's continual worrying behavior. I know you don't want to cause neighborhood problems but you need to reign this guy in B4 it possibly escalates to something worse as he enjoys watching his power over you grow.
Get evidence on video of his frequent, objectionable actions with and without his dog as well as your dog shaking and reacting in fear, the more episodes on video, the better. Be sure the date and time show on screen in each video you take.
One thing that usually dissuades most dogs from charging or even wanting to approach you is to carry a big, auto-opening, black, unopened umbrella at your side and whenever a dog begins approaching you and your dog, just hit the 'open' button. The bigger the umbrella, the better. A black or dark one usually works better as the dog can see it well in contrast to your background. It's quite intimidating to most dogs.
The unexpected, sudden, mysterious unfolding of that big, black umbrella usually sends even the most aggressive or rambunctious dog the other way. There is something about your outline abruptly enlarging in the dog's eyes as the big black thing magically blooms open before you that takes the attitude right out of them.
