Town council meeting about my "vicious" dogs

I was informed today that my dogs were the topic of a town council meeting. It appears that my neighbor brought it up and feels uncomfortable living next door to "vicious" dogs. I have a complete fenced yard and my dogs aren't even mean. They occasionally bark at her when she is mowing her yard near my fence but they bark at me when I mow my yard as well. They just don't like the mower along with vacuum cleaners. We own this house and I will not get rid of my dogs under NO circumstances.

wow do you live in a small town?

Good luck , hope all goes well . My Tilly barks at the hosepipe , the shed , and if we had a mirror in the garden she would bark at herself too

Yea Steve I live in a small town. If they try to take my dogs....

can they make you get rid of your dogs?

What tw*ts of neighbours, what could come of this?? (and I think gunning them down, even though I would want too, is a little extreme )

Oh mike that is awful, good luck in your battle, some people have nothing better to do with their time

I highly doubt that they can do anything. This just makes me mad. I live next door to a bitter old lady(very old) who always pokes her nose in everyone's business. She is always complaining about someone at these meetings.

If it came down to it, I would just move and put this place up for sale or rent it out. I won't give up my dogs.

what a bloody pain

Dogs first in my life to now> After speaking with a rescuer as this is what we want to do , was told there could be a problem with the wife if the local authorities found out as she is a childminder . Ultimately this is * but if it came to it the business would go first , or a divorce I don't mind whichever is easier I love my little girl and she loves me . When I'm having a bad time she's licking my hand , when I'm having a good time she's wagging her tail, when I'm not looking she's a pain in the bum

OMG what the hell is the matter with some people????

I agree with Janey that gunning her down is a little OTT but maybe a good old fashioned ouse egging or toilet paper on the car or, dare I say, through the letterbox .......

That did NOT come from me really, I don't condone any behaviour of that sort ..... >

I would be annoyed to but there isn't anything to worry about. They aren't a banned breed in Florida so unless you live in a neighborhood that has a tennant society that was in exsistance when you purchased a house then there are no issues. I grew up in Florida and love the place but there are entirely too many snoopy and complaning elderly people for my taste.

God, some people really do have nothing better to do than complain!

They are banned in Miami-Dade County and have been since the late 80's.

I agree that there are a lot of nosy neighbors in Florida!

If she doesnt like it tell her to go to an old peoples home where she can complain about the digestives!

Mike did anything ever come of the town witch hunt over your barking devil dogs? People make me laugh nothing better to do lol x

She actually attacked Lola with a weed eater one day and now Lola has a scar on her face. I called the police and they came and gave a warning to her. She has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's since and my dogs are fine.
