so we can cuss now? mustve abolished that forum rule.

its his property, and your dog. the responsibility is on you to keep your dog out of his yard. my dog weighs 100lbs, and can jerk the hell out of me when i walk him. he almost drags me. yet hes never gotten away from me once. i understand accidents happen, and the guy was being anal. but if i walked out of my house and there was a strange dog running around in it, id want it out too. you say he has children, so maybe its possible hes worried about them coming out and getting bitten by a loose dog. he doesnt know you, and youre out running around his yard. maybe he thought you were trying to steal something. he has every right to not want strange people and animals on his property.

i guess hes supposed to be cool with it?

my point is, you both sound like a$$holes. but its understandable in an awkward situation like this, so just let it go, and dont let your dog get loose again.

Considering the OP,
BS

EDIT: on the details, not the story in general. The "I'm a polite person" line was the most obvious untruth.

Hey! I'm actually a very polite person, and I really was being nice to him. It wasn't until he threatened to shoot my dog and kept being a dick that I decided to be a dick back.

What an asshole. Anyone who threatens to kill one of my pets will be seriously hurt when he tries to.

I meant the details, not the whole thing.
I find some of the quotes a little unbelievable.

I highly doubt that he made the redneck comments he says.
My guess is that is what he wanted to say but was too afraid to actually do it.

I was out walking my dog when he had to take a dump. He stopped, did his thing and I pulled a plastic bag out of my pocket and scooped it up. I looked up, and there's this guy standing over me- mad as hell.

He started in on some rant about people and their pets messing up his yard. I showed him the bag, and explained that when a dog has to go, he doesn't care where he does it. He kept pushing it, and I noticed that he had a model airplane in his hand. My first impulse was to grab the plane and smash it to bits, but I thought better of it, and told the guy to run along and play with his toy.

That pissed him off good, and his wife came over and started in on me. I thought, enough is enough, and just walked off.
I try to avoid that guys block when I'm out walking now.

That's horrible. It's one thing to complain if people aren't curbing their dog, but to b1tch someone out while they're doing so in your lawn is just ridiculous. Also nice is how his wife had to defend him after you told him to run along.

I was frustrated at this point, and I almost said WTF does it look like I'm doing? Anyway, I said "Sir, my dog got of her leash, and I am trying to chase her down so I can take her back home." Now keep in mind this guy is about 40 something, 5'8 140 lbs. He's by far the "one" piece of trash that lives in my neighborhood with his little redneck kids. From there:

Him: "You need to get that mutt off my property."
Me: "Sir, that's what I'm trying to do"
Him: "I'm going to shoot it if you don't get it off my property in 5 minutes."
Me: "Sir, if you touch my dog with a single finger I'll have to hit you back."
Him: "Don't threaten me boy, I'm old enough to be yer Daddy."
Me: "Sir, I'm not THREATENING you, but I'm trying to get my dog off your property like you asked."
Him: "Hurry up."

At this point he disappears back into his house for a few minutes, and I'm trying unsuccessfully to lure my dog away with treats, or catch her on the run.

He appears again:

Him: "Did you get that mutt yet?"
Me: "No, I'm still working on it as you can see."
Him: "I'm going to call animal control and have that mutt impounded."
Me: "Listen here c0cksucker, my patience with you is wearing thin. I'm sorry my dog picked your shit-ass house to meander over to, but evidently she was looking for a low-rent place to defecate."
Him: "Ain't nobody going to be a smartass to me on my own property."

That's when my dog decides to gamely walk up to me, and I am able to grab her leash.

The rest:

Him: "Good get your mutt and leave."
Me: "Are you always this much of a pretentious asshole, or do your white-trash genes just force you to be a POS?"
Him: "Get the fvck out of here, I'm calling the police."
Me: "I'm standing on the street, Einstein, but I'm leaving anyway. Feel free to call them and waste their time."

Then it was over. What a jerk this guy was. I tried being polite, but evidently his white trash DNA prevents him from being a decent human being. If he would have shot my dog I'd have beat him to death with the butt of his on gun. This... my friends, is how those so called "my neighbor shot my dog" type stories happen. Always one fvcking asshole out there.
LOL, with you last few dealing with the Police in your local I'd think the threat of having the cops called on you would be enough for you to high tail it out of there;)

Odd, isnt it?
You'd think he wouldn't have any trouble at all with the police since he's such a polite person.

This is from the 'Illuminatus Trilogy' and one of the best semi-legal revenge ideas...
You need to start up one of thsse 'lawn fertilizer' chain letters and put your neighbors address at the bottom;


"We represent the Fertilizer Society of America. It will not cost you a cent to join. Upon receipt of this letter, go to the address at the top of the list and sh!t on their front lawn. You won't be the only one there, so don't be embarrassed.

Then make five copies of this letter, leaving the top name off and adding your name and address at the bottom. Send them to five of your best friends and urge them to do the same. You wont get any money, but within five weeks, if this chain is not broken, you will have 3,215 strangers sh!tting on your lawn.

Your reward next summer will be the greenest lawn on the block.

DO NOT BREAK THIS CHAIN! Everybody who has broken it has within five days suffered acute, prolonged, and inexplicable constipation, which responds to no known laxative and requires, in each case, intervention of the apple corer or its surgical equivalent."

I use a leash that is on a cylinder. It pulls back into plastic and is retractable. I don't know what kind of weak dogs you have, but any dog can pull a leash out of your hand. My Weims did it all the time. My puppy can do it too. Puppies are puppies. I assume you'd rather me beat her incoherently. My other neighbor was talking to me after it happened, and she agreed the guy was a prick. I've only been in the neighborhood for a year, but they have been here 6 years. This isn't the first time this guy has pulled some crap like that.

As for people saying I didn't say that... I've never made anything up on AT, and I'm not about to start. That's what I said. I am actually a polite person, but I'm an ass once someone starts deserving it. My dog is a puppy and is quite strong. She's not the first dog I've seen jerk a leash out of someone's hand. It wasn't like she was just pulling and finally got it loose. She was just acting normal and then took off. It startled me and I dropped it. Believe what you like, but I certainly wouldn't make up a story about a freaking dog getting of the leash. It is what I said.

Regardless, she does need better training and I know that. I can also tell that anyone that says "It is his property he can do what he wants" has never owned a home before. You don't piss off your neighbors or be that irresponsible as a homeowner. I really am I nice guy, but I'm also a huge pratical joker and that gets me in trouble on AT. Anything I've ever said was truthful, was in fact truthful. I have zero reason to lie. I'm going to go play with my pet and entertain my guest. Later.

Well this isn't the same place where I had the trouble, but those charges have been dismissed. Waiting for final approval by the DA. The officer admitted he was overzealous to my attorney.

similar story:

My neighbours have a cute litle dog (actually a puppy) who is quite active & fast. So my neighbour opened his door and for whatever reason the dog just took off outside. It decided to go to a lawn three houses down where two cats were lying down under a tree (these were huge cats..they looked like big pillows to me lying down on the ground). So anyway the dog goes and starts running around the cats (which are getting scared at this point and actually moving around) and threatening them (or atleast seems like it). So the old lady who lives there starts coming out of hte house and shouting at my neighbours (one is 17 and the other is around 10 years old). She was actually cursing at them and calling them unresponsible and such and if anything should happen to her cats she's gonna get them in sh!t all the while these guys and me are trying to capture the dog.

While she had reason to yell, there was no reason for her to insult the boys..its not their fault the dog just took off when the door opened.

But yea I hate inconsiderate neighbours.

I think you got a little too pissed at him, you shouldn't have said some of the things that you did. The guy was just an asshole who wanted to sound big and tough, the best thing to do is ignore people like that. That is very hard to do though.



And you also know that you need to take your dog to an obedience school or train him yourself, but that should be done soon. What kind of dog is it?

I have never had a dog pull a leash out of my hands when I am holding onto it... just hold it tighter or get one thats all cloth or whatever teh material is and wrap it around your wrist. And that story is great lol I like that I probably would have done something similar except without the sir, probably would have said sorry I am just trying to get her now.
 

That guy was a dick.

Too bad the people down south actually go and get their guns.
