Neighbors

[morethanpretty]

My close next door neighbors are nice and we're good friends. The house the live in is actually owned by my nanny and they rent from her. Its a mother and her (now) teen daughter...they moved in when the daughter was in k-garten and my sis and I babysat her. The mother has been my ride to school and from. The girl is a bit spoiled, and they own way too many pets IMO...but overall pretty great.
We used to have a trailer on the other side and a sweet but very poor older lady who lived there. Its about a two acre lot and her sons raised fighting chickens, which they would fight and burn the carcasses. ICK! The people who bought the lot after she moved tore down the trailer and we had a bad problem with roaches for awhile. The place was disgusting. They started building a house but they had some problems and left the place...their emu escaped and we were unable to catch it...poor thing probably froze. The next people had problems and practically abandoned their dogs a nice rotreiler(sp?) and a mean dalmation which was chained up. We ended up taking food and water over for them and when it snowed, the dalmation was so miserable it allowed us to bring it over and pin it up until the owner came for it (the rot was already gone).
Some other people come and gone (apparently this town has some strict building codes ect.)
The neighbors after, had a pitbull mix puppy which was lonely and would come over and play with our black lab. But he became a problem when one of our little dogs went into heat. The man who owned the place didn't speak much english and we don't speak much spanish so we had to work through the daughter. I'm not sure if its the same ppl who own it or not but the people who live there seem nice. There are about 5 young girls (I think two related families live there) and they like our dogs and play w/ through the fence...our dogs probably go over there. Our dogs don't respect the barrier of a fence.
We're probably not the best neighbors...our black lab fathered some pups before he got fixed and the lady behind us threatend to shoot him if he kept eating her cat food...our dogs bark alot...so do the neighbors' though. We'll take your dog to the SPCA if you're mistreating it or bother you about it if its bothering us. But no major problems tho. We've known some good people and some not so good.
