i'm sorry for the long post but i needed to vent....
as some of you may know, we've been having job problem,s in our house so money is very, very tight.
anyway, the fence around our property needs to be re-done. currently we have green wire fencing. the house next door is council owned but they are only willing to put up a 3 and half foot wooden/wire picket fence (flimsy and unacceptable) even though someone jumped that side and stole 6 rare breed chickens last year. the garden is over 90 feet long so it will be expensive regardless of how we do it.
so oh and i decided to fence off a little at a time. we did the back and then 12 panels (6 on each side) and have been scrimping to do another 10 panels. on friday our dog chased a fox through a small hole and ended up next door. i blocked off the entry/exit point and hubby said he'd try to fix it.
on monday the dog found another fox hole and chased a youngster through. i blocked off as best i could (old metal headboard) so that hubby could patch up when he got home and then went and ordered a couple of panels we could afford for the time being.
when i got home from work yesterday and went to check on my chooks, the neighbour had put a board up on his side BUT he had also thrown broken glass beer bottles through the gap in a deliberate attempt to harm my dog if he tried to go through again.
i'm so angry. he's in his 30's, disabled and has some mental issues but even he has dogs and so should theoretically understand the harm he could cause. i know i should have called the police or reported to the rspca but he is very petty and i just know he'd then call up and complain about my roosters.
i'm just having a rant really. i can't believe i live next door to such a freak. he used to harass me knocking on my door at 3am and asking if i wanted to borrow his dvds, hanging about his garden whenever i went out there, holding parcels left for me when i went out and with sexual inuendos before he saw the size of my husband and now avoids us.
i just can't believe someone could sink that low. there are so many mean things going through my head but I would never sink that low.
p.s please don't post lists of horrid things as payback...i don't want to upset the mods. thanks.
