re: How to deal with complaining neighbor.. Update pg9

Had almost exact same problem. This is not just about the dog, this is neighborhood politics and they're testing you. You need to let them know that you don't care what they think, you're not intimidated by them, and you're not gonna let them have any say in how you live your life. Once mrs busy body gets it in her head that you bought and own your property and it's not gonna be run by anyone but you, she'll stick to her own yard. I had to go over and tell the old man doing this to my family that he wasn't to step foot on my property, he wasn't gonna yell at any women in my family and if he had issues he could come directly to me and if we couldn't come to an understanding we could settle things through litigation. Now he waves and tries to make small talk with us about the garden and waves when he sees us. Just stand your ground and be firm.
