I am so disgusted! :mad: Poor little Bogey. I hope he is doing okay now (you too). I don't understand why some people think it is okay to mistreat ANY type of animal, let alone a rescued yorkie. Even if your dogs were barking 24/7 (which I know they aren't) that still doesn't make it okay for him to kick one of them!!! What kind of logic is that? Your neighbor was probably at least 20 times the size of Bogey...that just makes him a grown up bully. Only a truly ignorant and insensitive person could make fun of your dog rescue efforts. You are an angel here on earth.

:eek:WOW! I cant believe that someone whom you thought was a friend...came on to your property and kicked your baby..for barking. That is the most ridiculous reason i have ever heard to hurt a dog. I hope little Bogey wasnt hurt by this Jerk! I would be cautious of this person the next time he comes on to your property. If it ever calms down to where you can talk to him...i would explain that these dogs are very small...and easily injured...and to think about how small "his" children are...and that Bogey weights as much as a newborn baby...and the thought of someone kicking something that small...how easy it would be to seriously injure or kill something that tiny. I am very sorry this happened to Bogey, and i would be very angry as well.

As for the screaming and yelling coming from his house, the next time that happens where it is really apparent, i would call the police for a disturbance of the peace. BUT dont make the allegation that he is beating his wife and children if you havent seen it. Couples fight...its true...most dont make it so loud that the whole neighborhood can hear it...but couples fight! His wife sounds like she works her tail off, working and trying to raise a family....you dont want to punish her and her children, by have her children taking away from her if there isn't any child abuse in the home.
If there is child abuse in the home, when the police come to investigate the disturbance...they will take in to fact that its a possibility and investigate it themselves. With so many calls...THEY WILL INVESTIGATE THEM, DSS WILL GET INVOLVED. And besides you dont want to get sued for slander, if they can prove themselves innocent. But if you see definite child abuse do report it..just dont make allegations.

I agree that this man, needs some kind of professional help, and i hope he gets it.

First - let me tell you how thankful I am that there are people like you to foster these precious babies. There's a special place in heaven for you!

Second - I'd be in jail - no doubt about it! I defended one of my children when he was 7 years old, and almost ended up there. Thank God for witnesses!

Your neighbor has serious issues. Please be careful - another poster mentioned the possibility of him poisoning them and I'd worry about that, too.

But - I'd have had to kick his butt for him. He needs it badly!

Im so sorry this happened. :hug: This jerk is probably abusing his wife and children and I hope he dosent have pets. I would definitely call the police everytime you hear him yelling at his family and hopefully for his wife and kids he gets help.

Things happen for a reason, most of the time. IMO I think poor Boogey
was kicked and for you to see it was because this so-called neighbor
can be dangerous and now you know it! Boy does this guy have issues.
I am glad you gave him a good piece of your mind and now you no
him for what he really is. A nut job. Beware! Watch your babies very
carefully. I don't think this guy would have any problem finding way's
to harm them. When people get mad or caught in the act of doing
something they are embarrased about they say what they are thinking
out of embarrasement. They forgot to cover up their true feelings.
You need eye's in the back of your head in the future. I wouldn't trust
him for an instant. Sorry you have to live like this but atleast you know
him for what he really is.

I would have been LIVID. You handled it better than me. I'm sorry this had to happen...
what a nice neighbor.

You totally did and are doing the right thing! I too would have had to kick him back (where it really hurts), then give him a piece of my mind! :eek:

Oh no....Little Bogey :(

Give him a bug hug and lots of kisses from his support team in YT

...and GOOD for you :thumbup: for giving that a$$ a piece of your mind :mad:

Jodi, I am just now reading this..I would have punched him. How dare anyone touch your Bogey. Just remember once an abuser always an abuser. Just stay clear of these people, I wouldnt even acknowledge them. Im so sorry this happened to you and Bogey..Be Careful....

Frustrated!
 

I do not think they are beating their kids by any means and that is not an allegation that I am trying take make. They fight, scream and yell at each other over the care of their kids. You take her I am tired type of thing. But it will roll out into the driveway at any hour of the day or night. They put the kids to sleep by driving around in the car~what desperate parent hasn't done that BUT you do not need to scream at the top of your lungs while and drop the "f bomb" while doing it! If you need to load your kid into the car at 2 am you do it quietly because you have neighbors that might be sleeping 20 feet from where you are standing and screaming. She yells because she is frustrated because she if tired and I can sympathize. He yells at HER because she is yelling at him. But in the middle of all of this are their babies. Then he has the nerve to say that my dogs bark and wake up his kids! He's NUTS!

My husband just confessed that after I went into the house the moron actually said that I owed him an apology. :rolleyes: Sorry but the truth hurts and I don't apologize!

I think anyone that kicks a little dog would kick a little baby. That family sounds like a rubber band about to break.

I agree...he is trying to justify kicking your dog....with his lack of ability to mange his anger and his kids. I understand that small kids are a handful and can drive you nuts at times (I know, I had one)...but its not an accuse. Just reading some posts got me consider..that the way to "fix him" is to get his kids...that's too harsh and unnecessary.
He most definitely owes you the apology, its not your fault he cant get his kids to sleep at night...and i know if your babies were barking all night long you wouldn't be able to sleep either. Your sweet husband is trying to keep the peace in the neighborhood.
But i would try to talk to him and let him know that he could of seriously injured Bogey, and just like he loves his children, you love your furbabies and would be heartbroken if something happened to them. If he has any kind of decency to him, he will understand and apologize to you.
But i don't think some anger management classes, couples counseling, and parenting classes would hurt.:rolleyes:

OOOOooh...........This makes me just LIVID. I've had nightmares about someone hurting my babies. I'm worse than an old mother hen about my little girls. I don't know what I would have done. I think it would have involved violence.

Please be very careful. This guy has just revealed his true character. Now that he knows that you know, he will get worse and feel justified, especially since he told your husband that you owed HIM an appology.

I feel so bad for you.

I second her idea!!!!!!!!!! If this creep does this to your dog, after you and your hubby has been so good to his family, it is just a matter of time before he or his wife move on to each other or the kids. I would not mind if they hurt each other, it sounds as if they enjoy fighting. The children are the ones to suffer in this kind of family, they grow up thinking this is normal and they do it themselves.
The next time you hear them fighting call the police, so that way it will be on record, then every time you hear them fighting call the police again, the police will get tired of coming so often and they will call children services, once they get into it they will get the children help, maybe parenting classes, or mental help for dealing with young kids. This way you are helping the kids, not just the parents by buying them things, like dish washers. You will be rescuing those kids like you have your fur babies.
I would also watch for things like poisoning or hurting your dogs like others have posted, this family seems like they are about blow, I would be aware of his wife too, not just him. Good luck

omg! i am so sorry that bogey got kicked... i can't imagine how upsetting it was for you to witness that. i am wondering in a case like that, what can you do within the legal limit? are you allowed to kick him and throw him back a few feet and have him land under the table or what? (seriously, what can you do if someone kicked your dog) sue them? gosh, he is such an idiot, and an a$$hole. i am so sorry this happened, i hope bogey is doing ok now. (and i hope you are feeling better as well)

this post made me cry. i do not own a rescue yorkie, but i believe every word you said about how they look at you. (it's heartbreaking)

and your post also reminded me of an article that i read a year ago. it was about a couple who drove their dog to a place to dump him. they just dropped off the dog there and disappeared. the people who live there say that the dog goes back to the place he was dropped off every single day, waiting for his owners. some people try to take the dog in, but the dog just wanted to wait for his mom and dad. it's so sad, i can't believe how cruel people can be.

Good grief Jodi! I am just reading this. I agree with the others about this guy, He is trouble with a capital T. He is now a time-bomb just waiting to go off. Please be careful of this guy. No wonder the kids don't sleep with all that fighting. Even if they don't hit their kids now, they will eventually, the kids sense all the hostility in the house. They are victims now even if they have not been hit. I know you will watch over your dogs even more closely now, I am so sorry for you to have to go thru this with this ass. You did the right thing by not becoming violent yourself, this keeps you as the victim if this ever escalates to envolve the police. Take care. Let's all think a hex on this moron.

I really like this idea. Let me grab my cauldren, voodoo doll and broomstick! :D

Well, those were the exact things that I was screaming at him after he said that about my dogs barking and waking his kids. Let me think it was something like "You and your wife have serious psycological issues with all of the fight and carrying on that you both do. You have this entire neighborhood up in arm and read to call DCFS on you and your crazy behavior. I think that before you try to accuse my little 8 lb dogs of being too loud and waking your children that sleep on the other side of the house you need to turn that finger around at yourself. Do a little analyzation of what is wrong in YOUR life and get serious professional psychiatric help for both you and your wife!" :D At that point is when my husband dragged me away from him because I was just about ready to pounce onto his back! :rolleyes:

I like that hex idea too. :D:D

Also I think I would have a fence in yard I would be so afraid when Bogey might see him he might still go to him..

I was just wondering if they let the kids sleep all day then when they need to go to bed they can't sleep ...or there so intense from them agruing so much ...


Also I was thinking my grandson has to take a sleeping pill everynight just so his mind would let him sleep Doctor had to subscribe it for him and my granddaughter also they have adhd the don't stop except with meds it helps

I agree with getting a fence, and I would definetly let the ASPCA what he did, and see if they can help you.

People like this man do not take responsibilty for their own behaviors. Instead they will blame everyone else for what they have done themselves. From what you have described , his behavior is much like that of a socio path> BE CAREFUL. This Type of person will never admit to anything wrong, cause he has no conscience. Keep your Yorkies far, far away from him, and if you have children, please, keep them out of harms way. Their are red flags all over the place.
As for the wife, will she probably is just going to support her man 100% all the way. Nothing you can do about that. She wants to be abused like that, and keep have babies with a crazy Mother****er, that her buisness. I'd really try to stay out of that crap. And protect your family and pets from that mean ass crazy man next door .
How is your Boegy? I was scared of internal injuries. Nobody has the right to be violent towards your one of your yorkies ever! There is never any justification for this! :mad: I hope Boegy is ok.

Jodi,

Your husband is far calmer than mine, because mine wouldn't have heled me back, as a matter of fact, he would have joined me!

How dare that a** kick Bogey!!!!!!!!!!

And then to try to JUSTIFY kicking a little 8# dog???????

I am so sorry this happened. I hope it hasn't set Bogey back with all the love he has learned that he deserves from people.

Sheila

I love my 4 foot chain link fence, as a rule I hate the 6 foot block and especially the wood fences. But I'd have a 6 foot privacy fence installed ASAP. To protect your little ones and not have to look at him!

Reading this gets me so mad!!!!!!!!! He has no reason to kick your poor baby! I would have kicked him where it hurts! Tell him never to come bak to your house and that he is not welcomed. You should have told him if I hear you fight with your wife one more time I will call the cops lol. Poor baby flew 4 feet when all he wanted to do is greet him. How hurt you must have been knowing he was abandoned on the road. Hurts my heart to know. If anyone hurt my baby I would get furious. We all feel for you :mad:

I am so glad to read this, as this is what would have happened at our house. We try to keep peace and get along with neighbors and so far it's worked. Words are words/sticks and stones. BUT hubby will no longer be "nice guy" if anyone touches his wife and/or kids. Now that we have our little rescue Yorkie that has daddy wrapped around her tiny little paw nobody better ever touch her either. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

I think you missed the part about they have 2 babies. They are 2 yrs and 8 months plus a third due in Aug! The do not sleep all day they both work full time jobs. She is a OR nurse and he's a mechanic so they are not sleeping in and letting the kids sleep. She is leaving at 5 am and he is following behind her at about 6:30 off to daycare for the day. These kids are not sleeping at night because they are just babies and that is what babies do~give their parents a hard time when it is bedtime. At 8 months old my kids still would get up at night.

I understand about ADHD, my 2 oldest boys who are 20 and 22 yrs old both had this growing up as well. It can be hard to deal with but I have to say that they are both college students and hold jobs so it is totally possible to work through.

We have a fence and always have. Bogey was in our yard and the neighbor stopped over to visit with my husband. I do not think that I will be calling the ASPCA because of what happened but believe me the next time all he!! breaks loose next door 911 here I come!

Bogey is doing fine today. I was more worried about his back and neck because of how he kicked him. It was not a kick, Bogey was behind him as he was walking into the garage. He bent his knee, caught Bogey between the front legs and his chest with the heel of his shoe then tossed him backward threw the air and he landed on his back. FOUR paws straight in the air about 3 or 4 feet away under my patio set!

As for the wife she is doing the yelling at the kids. He's actually pretty calm with the kids but when she yells at him he yells back at her. The fighting and yelling that goes on in the house is either her screaming at the kids or the two of them fighting with each other about the kids.

I've been thinking about this all day and now wonder if maybe it might be the medicine that she is taking because she is pregnant. The oldest is 2 and was born at 23 weeks because she has a clotting disorder. She has pretty much been pregnant since then and taking this drug and is always complaining it doesn't make her feel good. Some medicine have horrible side effects and I'm wondering if that might be the case with her wild mood swings and crazy behavior? Which of course has NOTHING to do with what he did to my Bogey!

I am not really worried about my kids and the neighbor. My oldest is 22 yrs old 6' 5" 300 lb former HS football player/wrestler. My other son is 20 yrs old and competes in Jujutzu tournements. I'm pretty sure they can take care of themselves. As a matter of fact, the 22 yr old was in bed with the stomach flu and when he heard me crying his response was "I'll take care of him Mom once I stop being so sick" ;) My 14 yr old daughter is just like her momma :rolleyes: Man I wish he would have tried that on Pebbles because she is like momma too. She would still be hanging be his calf and mad as he!! :p
