Ok. SO- Many of you know, i live in a tiny town... and alot of you know im not fond of children... and i can NOT wait for school to start! "WHY?" YOU ASK. let me tell you:
everyone on my block has at least 2 kids. there are three right beside me, 3 down the street to my left, about 5 to my right, and ONE *who is a really good kid and i dont mind* behind me... and- guess what?!?! They ALL play right beside my house... there is a tiny alley street beside my house- that goes up a hill. our street is actually all hill it goes DOWN than up again like... a roller coaster. these kids play there, all day long... normally, i dont care. Minus winter time when they are always playing road hockey and swack balls off my fence... Or, they use my garage as a place to put a hockey net, its either there, or in the middle of the road so we have to go around them- and they DO NOT move their nets when cars are coming. Also- they slide down the hills- when we are trying to get out of our drive way (which is the bottom of the hill, and we have a major blind spot caused by another neighbours' tree. So- thats my winter time problem. and as u can guess, that takes a toll on the dogs!!! having kids outside, playing, screaming all day, hitting the fence with sticks, balls, etc.
Well, this week- the kids were outside playing (as they do all the time). but there are even more than normal this week. why, im not sure! these "new" kids are now outside, hitting the fence with, again, hockey sticks and balls. theres a sidewalk railing (made of metal) outside our house, because there is a church (and a church ramp) two houses down from me. and these kids were hitting the railing (which makes an aweful PING, and echo sound) with a METAL BAT. yep- that caused Zero to lose it. I caught one of the kids sticking his FINGERS into my fence and calling Zero!!! UM EXCUSE ME! Zero is not really "child friendly" due to having to put up with the neighbour BS. (or, atleast thats what i think it is from). Today, the kids were out there Screaming, howling. Throwing things (rocks, balls, etc) not at my fence but just throwing at whatever... And they are WHISTLING. of course this gets the dogs attention. Now- our bi-law states 3 "uncaged" pets per household, and so i really dont want to have to call someone about these kids, because it will flare off in my face (Cause i have way way more than limit allows). and i've talked to these kids, AND THEIR PARENTS so many times, they dont get it. ARRRHHH im so happy that school starts Tuesday! omg. am i ever. And im dreading this long weekend. im sure there will be more kids playing-ugh, i can't wait to move!
thanks for listening LOL
