I totally understand...I've been having a horrible time with a neighbor. My dog doesn't like his dog. This is not the worst thing, but the neighbor is a total jerk about it...constantly making comments about how out of control my dog is, snide remarks from across the street, etc. This has basically driven me to keep a bark collar on my dog, the front window shade closed at all time and I walk the dog in another neighborhood...

But one day we ran into them. I tried to talk to the neighbor, he said he couldn't hear me because my "dog was barking too loud"...and then I gave him the finger. Awful. And of course he was an ass and patronized me...both then and when I apologized later. I was embarassed for losing my temper, letting him antagonize me, but you know...we're all human. Good luck with the neighbor.

Thanks! And you too. There's something about these things being so close to home, and I mean literally physically close, that makes them feel worse, I think. Our homes are supposed to be our havens. I'm sorry you have to deal with that snotty pr -- uh, neighbor.

I think the proximity to our "safe" space is the hardest part. This is the first home I've owned and it's such an icky feeling to not feel totally comfortable in my space. Hopefully it will work out for both of us!

congrats mate! fine job and fine site!
