Some weeks ago I discovered a very large pile of dog poo on my lawn, (definitely dog and not fox) so I asked my lovely brother in law if he would put a gate across the path to keep the dogs out. This morning he came and started putting in the posts, he brought is lovely little dog with him who loves to run up and down the drive and play in the garden. One of my neighbours was walking up the lane to take her 2 dogs for a walk across the fields (I think they were responsible for the pile of dog poo), when they saw my brother in law's dog (a scottie) they pounced on him, one of them picking him up in his mouth and shaking him, brother in law waded in and got the dog and held it out of their reach. My neighbour merely called her dogs (they are a bit bigger than a lab.) and continued on up the lane making no effort to put them on leads, apologise or enquire if the little dog was OK.
After we made sure he was alright I started to get really angry that she showed no concern for his welfare at all. AIBU to expect her to at least ask if he is OK? Brother in law not at all impressed. Should I tackle her about it next time I see her or wait until she says something? In fairness I would say that I have never seen her dogs react like this before, but it does worry me that they are not on leads as a young family live across the lane from me.
I can't believe my car insurance has risen by that much!
They don't really care do they
