Spot on Majuka. The fence may seem low, but remember there is a massive drop the other side, with a solid bank of huge stingers, thorny stuff growing up the fence.

what's your point? Did I not say that Ben and Tai dashed across to our neighbour to say hello to her 2 dogs. Did I not say that it was HER dog who sparked the attack by growling at Ben? Ben was doing nothing wrong, and neither was Tai. All 4 dogs were calmly saying hello, when the BL decided to growl at Ben. Not that that is any excuse, I am just pointing out the FACTS.

I have continuously said that Ben has issues with BLACK DOGS and BLACK & TAN DOGS. Not all dogs are these colours round these parts, though it is unfortunate that all the dogs in the lane are black or black and tan or very dark brown! He is fine with all bitches, all small dogs, irrelevant of sex or colour. His problem is and probably always will be he does not like male black dogs, or black and tan dogs. he is fine with females of these colours, and he is fine with all small dogs. I am not saying he is perfect, and there are certainly no conflictions in my postings. He has in the past, and still does, SOMETIMES let dogs of all colours, ages, sex, type, say hello, but SOMETIMES he doesn't. the dog has issues, so just butt out and look after your own no doubt perfect dogs who have no issues.

And I forgot to mention the ARROGANCE of thinking they had no right to or should know better than to walk over land that is NOT owned by Gnasher i.e. the land behind their property! Good grief!

Gnasher - first and foremost I think you should do a little research about 'shared access' and 'right of way'. Of course they have 'right of way' across 'shared access' land - they do not have to OWN it to have right of way over it.

I could see your neighbour's POV but sympathised with you for the situation you now find yourself in. I have now read all your posts and my sympathy for you has evaporated totally.

I did mention previously that maybe there is an element of her feeling that you think you 'still own the place and can do what you like'. I think quite a lot of what you've said confirms that.

As for her thinking you are arrogant. Well, I can't help but agree with that. I suggest you re-read what you've written yourself. You keep banging on about this being YOUR property and YOUR drive (and them only having right of access over it) !!!

Here are a few of the comments you've made that confirm what I thought and which (to my mind) confirm that you are arrogant and DO think you own the place and can do what you like and they should alter THEIR behaviour to accommodate you doing as you like. You seem to think you know better than they do HOW THEY FEEL. Better than a Vet does about WHAT IS NEEDED. And should be able to dictate someone else's reactions to a situation.

Your capitalisation of 'Her' and the way you refer to her is, to my mind just as insulting as the four letter anglo saxon words of choice she uses. You obviously feel superior to Her!







As for the general populace in your village - I'd be surprised if any of them had TRUE sympathy for you if this is the way you talk about people.

Brilliantly put !!!


My guess would be part of the frustration displayed by the neighbour may be due to the fact she is constantly reminded that her access over her right of way, is begrudgingly tolerated.

She should inform you when she wants to walk down her drive.

It's her fault because she dares walk past your garden.

Enough said !!
