My insane neighbors are demanding that I get rid of my dogs, all because they think they're disgusting

0:05.0

and that they're a nuisance to the neighborhood. But after exhausting every single avenue, from petitions

0:10.1

all the way to the city council, my neighbors decide to get up in my face and approach me on my

0:14.9

property, causing me to freak out on them in a way that they truly never expected. And I've honestly

0:19.6

never felt better about putting somebody in their place in my life. Here's what expected. And I've honestly never felt better about putting

0:21.1

somebody in their place in my life. Here's what happened. So I want to start off by emphasizing

0:25.5

that this event happened five years ago, but it's something that I regularly think about. My family,

0:30.3

which is me, my husband, and my two kids lived in a very new suburb in a private sort of neighborhood.

and everything started to fall apart. I would describe these neighbors as a couple, a husband and

1:03.4

wife, who were newly retired and around my parents' age. And trust me, the list of things they did

1:08.3

is massive. For starters, they put in formal complaints with our town council because our dogs barked.

1:14.0

They went to the trouble of recording those things rather than coming around and chatting with us about it bothering them.

1:19.5

Both my neighbor and I were probably the only ones with large breed dogs with the purpose of being guard dogs because our husbands traveled a lot for work.

1:27.3

And the dogs made

1:28.3

us feel safe. And I was pregnant and a new mom at the time. I wasn't working, and I could vouch

1:33.2

that these dogs only barked when there were people at the fence. And we're talking people like
