Ok, nice story developing here.
I live in a small set of town homes and on the very end of the row. We have a small dog (about 30 pounds if that) and he is less than a year old. One of the neighbors (about 8 homes down) feel that my dog is aggressive. He has not bitten anyone and is ALWAYS on a leash. The neighbor’s dog how ever is not and one day the dog ran across the parking lot in the usual dog manner and a short scuffle ensued by the dogs. The wife picked up the dog and brought him in the house.
The management issued a letter and warned the other tenants about keeping the dog on a leash.
Several weeks go by with no incidents and the dogs have played and neighborly activity going on. Until yesterday, animal control showed up with a complaint about my dog being aggressive, so I walked down being the good neighbor that I am. Knocked on the door and when his wife answered I asked to speak to her husband, she asked “ does he have to come out side?†I said I would like for him too, she disappeared inside and he came out. I shook his hand and introduced myself and said †I hear you had a problem with the dog this morningâ€. At that point he raised his voice in a loud tone and said “your dog attacked my dog†at that point I cut his off and in a loud voice told him “ you know where I live and where my dog is, if you have a problem with that stay the fuck away from him, and by the way, next time grow a set of nuts and knock on my door instead of calling the cops anonymouslyâ€.
Well he screamed loudly I will fix you!!!!! Ran in his town home and slammed the door. I just went home. Well 20 minutes later the police show up asking me what happened and I told him exactly what I have typed. He kind of laughed it off and left. He did suggest that we stay clear of one another.
So this afternoon the wife was out side with the dog, they stopped on the street and taunted my dog, when they seen the wife they drove off. 8:30 PM rolls around so I get up and put the leash on the dog, I have a Wilson 1911 on IWB but OC, two spare mags, flash light, two knives, one ca of OC, and take the dog for a walk. No one was out when I left, as we were coming back to the house they came out and were walking the dog. I pulled my dog in and had him at heel. Never looked at them nor said a word, just kept walking toward my unit.
So later this evening 9:00 PM or so a knock comes so I go look out the peep hole and it’s the police. The call was that I was walking with a gun and intimidating them. Knowing and have worked with both officers they asked what happened and I said nothing I just walked the dog. They asked if I had a gun on and I said yes, I still have it on and turned so they could see. One of them asked me if it was legal to carry a gun OC and I said yes. So they told me not to worry about it and left with the report being filed unfounded.
I am sure this is going to continue (the harassment) so my question is. Does anyone have any suggestion?
