Dreams Really Do Come True

I found a nasty note from our neighbor on our front porch this morning. She said that I am the reason her son MOVED OUT!! Yippee!! Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hal-leeee-luuu-jaaaah! According to Mrs. Nutjob: Her son has been so stressed out worrying about me calling the cops or animal control that he couldn't take it any more.
That's funny, he didn't seem too stressed out last Saturday night when the dogs were running around the neighborhood while he and his buddies were having an under-age beer party in the driveway (mom had left town on Thursday morning and didn't come home until Sunday night). In truth, I think something else entirely is at work. It just so happened that the dad, who moved out 9 months ago, showed up unexpectedly Sunday morning. When he got out of his car he saw the beer cans and the door that had been left open all night on the son's van. He took one of the beer cans, closed the van's door, and went inside. I don't know what happened after he went inside. The next day however, I noticed the son's van parked around the corner from our house and out of sight of his mom. The son's girlfriend got out and walked around the corner to the say something to the mother. A few minutes later, the mother backed out of their driveway and roared out of the neighborhood without even glancing at the van, or her son, as she drove past. As soon as she left, the son pulled the van around the corner and into their driveway. He and the girlfriend went inside for a few minutes, then came out and drove away. A few minutes after that, the mother came home. The son hasn't been around since. Does anyone else think maybe the dad attacked the mom for letting the kid have a beer party, so she blew up at the kid, and he decided to bail out? Who knows... and WHO CARES?!! I just hope he doesn't reconsider and move back.
She also blamed me for being fined $160. But she didn't say what the fine was for. I'm going to speak with the police officer who responded to my noise complaint last week and the animal control officer who came out a couple of weeks ago to warn her about letting their dogs crap in my yard. I didn't get the impression from either officer that they intended to write a citation on the first call. So, I wonder if she PO'd one of them enough to result in the fine. If it came from the animal control officer, I hope she has deep pockets, 'cause the dogs still aren't under control and I won't stop reporting them until they are. It amazes me why she hasn't figured out that leashes only work when they're attached to the dogs (all three of them). 'Dumb bunny.
