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.

Oh hun, I'm so pleased you're moving away from that *&!£$% man! I can't believe the nerve of him to call the RSPCA:mad:

I hope that the rest of your move goes smoothly.....have missed you around here ;) xxx xxx

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.

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry! This is the LAST thing you need on top of moving. Thats already stressful enough! I pray everything works out for you and you get your rabbit back!

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! :p

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.

Thanks Claire, we've missed you too. xxx

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.

Wondered where you've been and have been getting a little worried. I hope things get better for you, we luvs ya here! :)

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.

That's terrible. I hope you get him back and that nasty neighbor gets what he deserves.
Hang in there.

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.

Thank you Patti.

Glad to have you back! I bet it is a relief to know you wont have him as a neighbor anymore! I am sorry to hear about Tye. Maybe you can march in there and tell them what's really going on and get him back! What a terrible person he is for being so hateful!!

I'm so sorry to hear all about the a$$ neighbor. Don't forget that your nice neighbor heard him too and they can be a witness for you. Hope everything works out in the end.

Good Riddence to your neighbor! what goes around, comes around. Hopefully whoever moves into your house will treat him twice as bad as he's treat you. Hugs, Bo

I haven't been on here in the last few weeks either...just been too busy, had alot going on with my hubby's health etc...I didn't get any messages from anyone missing me on here though..:( lol...;)

Hopefully life will be alot more pleasant for you now you have moved...goodluck to you and all your girls...see you on FB!;) xxx

Oh my word! I am just now finding this!
What a horrid person that man is!
I just hate vindictive people! Why is he picking on you?!!!! Why not the other neighbor with barking dogs!
Vicky, what is going on now?
I do hope you have your little Tye back now. How could someone in authority take the word of one person against the evidence? They couldn't have gone back to look in Tye's hutch if they say she had no food or water!

Oh hun, that man sounds like walking evil!.....I'm so sorry someone like that is finding it pleasurable to inflict such pain and aggravation on you........I hope your able to get Tye back, they will able to see you where in the process of moving and that Tye is well fed and clean, a neglected pet would not look that way.......Wishing you the best .....

Geez, what is wrong with some people in this world? Don't they have better things to do than being idiots and evil? I hope the RSPCA sees that jerk of a neighbor for what he is and you as the caring person you are so that you can get Tye back.
I am so sorry you had to put up with the likes of him while you lived next door Vicky, and hope your new neighbors will be a lot more neighborly.

Oh Vicky i'm so sorry you're going thru this..i didnt see this thread til today! What a jerk! Honestly there are some people who get their rocks off by making other people miserable. I hope you get your little Tye back. Keep us updated!

I just read your thread and my mouth just hit the floor. I am so sorry to hear what your ex neighbor has done to you. That is just plain out terrible. So glad you will get to move away from that neighbor, people can be so rude but that's just plain out vindictive and he had no right to do what he did. Maybe the new neighbors will put a stop to his rude behavior it will serve him right!;) I hope and pray you get your rabbit back, that's heartbreaking. Take care!

So sorry this happened to you. I hope everything get much better for you.

Were you able to get Tye back?

Hopefully you are completely out of that house and away from that wretched neighbor and have all your babies in your new beautiful house!

I've no idea, I guess he must get a kick out of shouting and cursing at young women on their own. Moving has been so stressful to the point I wouldn't even go down to the house on my own which made it hard trying to find people to spend a couple of hours with me sorting things out. Everytime I was there he would make a point of going out to the front of his house and watching everything that I'm doing. :(

As of now I'm completely moved, I gave the kids back last week to my old house and literally dumped half the content of my house into the garage! :eek: I just wanted everything up here and not have to keep going back again.

The RSPCA brought Tye home last Tuesday after a ridiculous amount of phone calls... and get this, they brought her home in a wire carrier with a wire floor!! WTH! She's still pretty unsettled, if someone who isn't me goes to her hutch she becomes panicked. It's so sad, she was such a happy bunny.

I'm hoping this is the end of it all and nothing more will ever come from him... I'm most likely changing my car in a couple of weeks and with me still living in the same village I'm hoping that will limit the chances of him knowing my new address and that will be the end of it. I considered pressing charges of harassment against him but in the end I thought it was more trouble than it was worth and just want to live my life quietly. It's all down on record though so anything else and I may change my mind.

Bless your heart. You have been through so much in the past couple of years! I hope you can start enjoying life now! I wonder if you are even over that nasty flu! It must have left you in a weakened state then to have to move after that.

Do you have any big bruts as friends. You know, someone to go over and "suggest" that he leave you alone? I think I'd even pay someone to "talk" to him.

Yeah! that Tye is back - I hope she settles in soon and is once again a happy little bunny. How is Amelia taking all of this?

Omg !!!!!
 

OMG !! I just read this thread , Tell u the truth , I didn't want to see the end of it , I was so upset if u didn't get Tye back, that jerk !!! just make sure u get something from the neighbor that head him yell at u, in case he brother u again. Please b careful about giving your address to people, u never know he can lie and try to find u, Than he may just stop and wanted u gone, what ever!!! He is sick !!!! I'm so happy u moved , and u can forget about every thing that happen and b happy u moved with all your furfamily, to lived happy forever in a new home and good neighbors.
God Bless !!!!

Thank you. People have offered to go round but I've said just leave it. I'm not a vindictive person by any means. I hope Tye settle down too, I'd got her to the point she was really gentle and would come to me and was all set for letting her play loose in the garden... now that's not an option because she's so timid. Amelia knows I'm upset and it gets to her a little but other than that she's taken to the new house really well. She goes to bed at 7.30pm in her own bed and sleeps till 7.30am! This is a huge improvement from the girl who would still be awake at 2am every night! lol

Thank you, I'm glad it worked out for me as well. I would of been really upset if I'd lost her. No one but the people who need to know know my new address. My new neighbours are really great. :)
