I walk up to him and grab his collar and see through a gap in the fence, my neighbor wearing a face mask, face inches away from the hole, shaking the fence while growling. He was so caught up in the moment that he didn't realize that I was standing there. He finally looks up and walks away. My wife comes home and I look out the front door and see the bastard cleaning leaves in the front of his house. I tell my wife what happens and that I'm going to confront him.

I go in front of his house, get his attention and he comes over to me. I simply say, "Hi - if you have a problem with my dogs or anything else concerning my property or my family, please feel free to come knock on my door and let me know. He said, "Okay." I then ask him if he feels like things are so bad that he can't come talk to his neighbor. He starts mumbling and I ask how old he is, he says he's 83 years old. Then I ask, "Don't you think in the 83 years of your life, you might have learned that it's okay to be friendly to your neighbors?"

Anyway - the old man told me he was very embarrassed that I caught him doing it and that now that I've caught him doing it, he realizes that it was a childish thing to do.

He called animal control on us when we first moved in because my dog was barking one afternoon, not breaking any city ordnance. Now that I see what he was doing, it makes me think that he's been doing it a lot more, making my dog look/act aggressive. I fear that if my dog gets out and sees him, he's going to bite his fucking face off.



Sorry for the rant, but what would you guys do?
