Recently, Carol asked me how my "hounds" were. I immediately put her straight that they were "little ladies," never "hounds."
My neighbor's German Shepherd took a nip at Jacob's finger which was thrust through the fence to pet his nose. Christina drove around the block to talk to the owner and he said he would have to put up a privacy fence. (Elizabeth tells me he can legally ask me to pay half the cost, but I'm in the clear so far.)
After the fence was in place, turned out that Rudy objected to having his view blocked and he started to dig a tunnel under the fence into my yard. Once I saw it was head-size, I put my step ladder length-wise against the fence, and last night, while I watched, Gretel walked through the ladder and into Rudy's back yard. After some fruitless yelling, I drove around the block only to find out that the neighbors weren't home. When I came back, Christina had already taken care of the situation by shaking the doggie treat container, and Gretel showed up, followed by Rudy's head, also looking for a treat.
The trollop.
Just so I'm clear on this: The difference between a "little lady" and a "trollop" is that the little lady is successful in getting the treat?
No, a little lady is one who stays where she belongs. A trollop will go anywhere there's a fella singing her song.
To my way of thinking (Quite incorret, I'm certain), a little lady will stay where she belongs with or without a ladder blocking her exit. I think the difference between little ladies and trollops lies in the geography.
How clever of Christina. That's too bad about the separation of the ladies and the tramps. Bowwow.
Miss Ginnie--
In Louisiana, much to my suprise, if your neighbors fence nearly the entirety of your yard (i.e., the back and sides) and you then put up a few dollars to do your front (such as a few feet of fence on either side of your house), your neighbors can come back to you for half of their costs! This is only if the entirety of your yard is enclosed-- so don't tie-in to a neighbors fence.
In your case, you already have your yard fenced, so your neighbor has no recourse for lessening his liability for his bad dog.
P.S. Elizabeth says she didn't tell you that.
She probably didn't want you to know she was infringing on your entitlement.
