We had a neighbor across the street whom we called Crochett. He didn't want any kids in his empty driveway or around his house. He'd lived there for years and acted like he owned the neighborhood. He also apparently thought that his mutt dog should be allowed to roam free. One day my kids told me that the dog was trying to dig under our fence; my Pomeranian was briefly outside and she was in heat. I was P.O.’d because she was in her own yard and still at risk, and the dog was three times her size. So I called the police and animal control.

A couple of weeks later, my husband was on a ladder working on the house outside, and Crochett came over. He asked hubby to come down and talk to him. My husband stayed where he was and asked what he wanted. So Crochett said, “I want to talk to you about your wife! She called the law on my dog and I got tickets!” My husband replied, “I can't do anything with her!” LOL Crochett harrumphed and left; we didn't see his dog making his rounds anymore!
