Alot of you guys know me personaly and I do not under any circumstances rile easy but 14 years now this guy is really starting to get to me.

My wife works damn hard and the only morning she has to sleep in is today.  Well the asshole has a new dog which he lets out at 5:00AM which promptly barks its fool head off and riles every dog in this part of the county including mine.  OK you think, shit happens, new dog, what do you expect?  Well this is the fourth dog he's had in 14 years having shot the other three.  That's right shot three of his own dogs in 14 years.  One a beautiful Eskimo Spitz cause it had the audacity to have puppies twice but then hey its  OK for him to let his dogs roam and inconvienence others but not him.  I mean what did he expect, dog in heat, let to roam free. equals puppies.  Let us not forget he once, not in the score, shot a 9 year old neighbors dog cause it had the audacity to enter his yard after busting loose from his fenced in yard but of course his dogs can go as they please.  

This guy is ex-father inlaw of the diabled vet I took off the street and am helpling to get back on his feet.   The vet made the mistake of stopping buy the assholes asking for permission to fill his one gallon water jug and got a gun in his face for his efforts.  Of course, it mattered little to this asshole that it is his druggie daughter illegally taking the veterans VA pension that put this guy on the street in the first place.

For the first two years I lived here I tried to get to know this guy.  Every hello or wave was met by a "Humph" and turn of his back.  I asked the neighbors and got a resounding "Stay away from him.  He's a thief. He's an Asshole."  No more details than that and in this part of the country one doesn't pry nor does one question the word of almost a dozen neighbors with the same opinion.  

I was raised as a southern gentleman with country standards.  Some of you will know what that means while others won't but it does mean alot when I make this next statement.

I'm REALLY starting to not like this asshole!

Sorry for the rant but I needed to vent and no one is awake here but me and my mother in law and if I told her this shit it would scare her  for she knows me after 31 years.

Call the cops...they'll shoot his dog.

Sorry Wave old buddy I know you meant this as a joke but in this part of the world, we shoot the damn dogs and the deputy sherriff simply stands behind us laughing at our aim.

Quoted: If you're in E TN (and I'm pretty sure you are), it's a wonder your neighbors haven't run this piece of trash out of town on a rail. I'm not far from you and I know how people in this area think. Often times neighbors have a way of taking care of nuisance neighbors in this area and convince them to move elsewhere. Based on what you've said, I'm surprised someone hasn't confronted this asshole and beaten him about half to death by now.

Oh you know the area alright and its been tried many times but this guy is classic.  He packs a revolver and if you even have the audacity to step in his yard, out it comes. let alone let you get close enough to talk to him.

This guys a disaster waiting to happen.

Quoted: Yeah, he sounds like a real jewel. But you've managed to keep your cool through it all and that's good. But someday this fella's character flaws will catch up with him and he'll get his. They always do. Afterall, I'm sure there's a few Doc Holliday types that still run around these parts. He'll cross paths with one of them sooner or later and when he does, it'll get ugly. LOL. -CH

That worries me a tad.  I wish I had it in me sometimes to be the behind the scenes covert action type but am not.  I tend to take my problems right to the source and I don't take kindly to having guns pointed at me.  I'm afraid I may be his "Huckelberry".

Right or wrong, that's still one big ass hassle.

For those of you with reading comprehension, the DOG is NOT the problem, TJ is talking about his neighbor - posting about poisoning animals is immature, and it just might get your account locked!

Most definately not the dog, I've often said a dog that don't bark isn't doing his job.   Almost every other house here has a dog or two.  We depend on them like a warning system.   On the other hand, we don't shove them out the door ay 5AM, let them run loose, and then not pay attention to them when they bark their fool heads off cause its raining and they want in either.  

Nah, the poor animal is doomed from the moment he got this asshole as a master.

Quoted: You have a real winner on your hands, TJ. There is no real answer to your problem.  The best you can do is super-sound proof one room in your house so your wife can get some sleep.  All other possibilities risk life, limb, and jail time, though that dog-silencer do-ja-ma-thingee looks promising for keeping that dog quiet. Guess the daughter didn't fall far from the tree, eh?

No buddy the daughter is a real story. Besides being a fat bitch that made this guys short time with her a living hell, she divorced  him some 11 years ago and went on welfare.  Immediately moved a boyfriend in, partied down, and on our tax dollars no less. For the last two years has been taking this vets VA pension and letting him live a barn or under a bridge.  Past attempts by others to help him failed as she would steal the check from their mailbox and have the mail to address changed.  

That apples from the same tree.

Well the welfare I can't do anything about but by God a vet starving while she partied down I could and did.  Myself and the guys on ARFCOM have taken this challenge on and there are a number of threads on it in the Survival Forum.  Let's just say, she's seen her last free VA check.

Many may complain about this site taking the high road too often but if we listed how often we as members reach out to help others, first I doubt if it could be done, and second it would amaze everyone.
