I am quite angry and will not hold off using words that may offend so please stop reading at this point if you don't want to know how quite colorful my vocabulary actually is.

I HATE my neighbor's dog. He has busted through the fence three days in a row. We share a common fence in the back and that fucking dog has busted through in two spots. The first day (Tuesday) I learned of this as my children brought one of our dogs through the front door as she'd come to play with them. That fucking dog had busted not only into my yard but also out of my yard through my gate - broke it!

So the hubby climbs over the fence into the neighbor's yard to fix the hole with wood he bought on his way home from work. So yesterday - same damn thing, but no escape to the street as the husband worked extra hard to nail the gate shut until it can be fixed correctly. Big difference - neither pet owner deemed it necessary to fix the fence. I put a piece of 2x8 up in hopes it might slow him (the fucking menace's name is Moose - he is a 100+ lb Boxer, BTW) down. No such luck. I get back from taking the boys to school this morning and who should be in the yard pouncing on my dogs? FUCKING MOOSE.

I AM SO MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I call the hubby to inform him and he's like hmm. After Moose pounced my littler dog twice I finally manage to get her in the house but I couldn't get him to go back though the hole he made. Three Milkbones and a rawhide didn't seem to entice him so finally I managed to get him near the hole, got behind him (dropped the fucking drill on him by accident) and shoved him until he decided to go home.

- did I mention Moose is a 100+lb BOXER -- FUCK! I found the piece of wood left over from Tuesday and screw it up on our side of the fence which of course is the wrong side of said shared fence. Did I also mention that a couple of years ago we actually had the smooth side of the fence but had to turn every single fucking panel around because Moose would knock down the entire section of fence? FUCKING MOOSE!

I AM SO MAD!!!!!!!!!!

And I realize now that if that dog had decided to attack all I had was a drill to protect myself. To this point he seems harmless but aren't half the dog attacks that way in the beginning?

AND this is all at 8 am AND I got half a cup of dog fucking slobber on one of my favorite sweaters and dog hair all over my white shirt - while trying to make sure the 4yo stays in the house, as Moose kept trying to get in, and make sure my dogs don't get back out and rile him up more than he obviously already is. (The neighbors have another dog, too, that was smart enough not to come through today who was also the beneficiary of all the Milkbones and rawhide).

His owner keeps saying, "If he does it again, I'm just going to have to get him fixed." Well, you know, I have a VERY sharp knife in my butcher block! I HATE MY NEIGHBOR'S DOG! And the hubby isn't too high on the list since he decided to go play poker last night instead of fixing the fence or taking out the garbage - but that is a gripe for another time.

update - 11/17/05 5:10 pm CST - HE DID IT AGAIN ... busted right through the spot I fixed this morning and now busted 4 more boards in the fence on the side of the house. I am temped to let that fucker out and call the pound.

update 2 - 11/19/05 8:15 am CST - HE DID IT YET AGAIN ... while the hubby and I were out for the afternoon with spare to the throne plus two. Moose's owner said she had to get him back in her yard - wonder how she did that as our gate is nailed shut. That I would have loved to see. A while back, the owner had put up an electric fence and that seemed to have stopped him, but a) said electricity no longer works they found out Tuesday; b) Moose is busting through just past where it stopped. Anyone ever see Jurassic Park - you know the part about the Valasa (sp?) Raptors testing the fence for the weakest part - uh, scared now!

Did I mention I have a cold through all this - as if you couldn't tell - thought I had a Migraine coming - nope just a cold - SHEESH! I'll stop whining now! :-)
