This blow up has been a long time coming and to tell you the truth what happened with Bogey was the catalyst of what happened yesterday. I have been fed up for a pretty long time about what has been happening but my husband would always calm me down, tell me that they are young and I should remember what it was like to have small kids and be sleep deprived, working, under pressure blah, blah blah. This jerk has been making rude little comments and I have held my tongue for far too long but now I am finished! He has called me a "dog hoarder" and makes fun of my rescue efforts which infuriates me to no end. When my kids would have friends over for a bondfire he would immediately threaten to call the police because they would disrupt their sleep to the point that I finally told the kids no more fires and they stopped inviting thier friends over. I just didn't want to argue of fight with the neighbors. But I am so done now and my husband knows it too! I haven't been married for 23 yrs for nothing To tell you the truth, I have a feeling this is not the first time he had done this to him either. It wasn't a "kick" but what he did was even worse......Bogey was behind him and he lifted him left and caught Bogey by the chest with the back of his foot/leg and then lifted him into the air and forcing him to fly backward and land on his back....full out about 3 or 4 feet behind him. When he did it he turned to look and watched him fly backward!

Believe me my husband will NOT be able to stop me from calling the police the next time they are acting like crazed maniacs fighting. He feels bad and will go over and try to calm things down during the day, talk to this jerk and give fatherly advice about having small kids and how hard it can be. But not me anymore 911 all the way! Done...stick a fork in me....done!

I am so disgusted! 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.

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!

[llcornell]

Im so sorry this happened. 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.

[ARCHIE]

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.

[Britster]

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

[Cinq1964]

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!

[TLC]

Oh no....Little Bogey

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

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

[manolos mom]

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....

[ldvpool7]

This is such a frustrating story/event. The neighbors sound like a mess and need help, but why would he kick your dog? What is that saying........." Don't bite the hand that feeds you." You and your husband have been so good to this family. What could the neighbor have been thinking or feeling? I hope the neighbor apologizes to you and soon.

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. Sorry but the truth hurts and I don't apologize!

[MaxwellHouse]

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.

[ruby2sday]

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
