I am writing to voice my concern regarding our neighbors Jxxx and Txxx wanting a kennel license. I decided not to attend tonights hearing as I know is going to cause even more tension between these neighbors and myself. I will start out by saying, I know Txxxx loves saving animals mainly PitBulls. Over the course of 6 years, I believe they have had up to 8 pits. There has been nice ones and some not so nice ones. When concerns would arise, we would tell her about them. Not one time when voiced my concern has, she taken resposibilty for my concern. She either laughed it off, made a remark, or said it was our dumb dog that caused the issue. I don't have a problem with someone trying to save animals. I think that is great! But my concern is the aggressive behavior my family, our dog and myself has had to deal with. Since Txxxx moved in with Jxxx the number of dogs they had grew fast. Their dogs would escape from their fence, they have run out the front door. Shown aggression toward Joe, when he was leaving for work and thier dog was in our front yard. A kitten we were watching was killed by one. of their dogs. My dog was bit in the nose by one of thier dogs through a knotthole in the fence, he was bleeding pretty good. One of thier dogs, would sit by the fence when I have my grandchild outside and if the ball went by the fence it would bark at my grandson in an aggressive manner. I have done daycare at my home on and off for several years. I have even babysat Txxxxs son Tyy. The multiple dogs that have come and gone has put on a lot of stress on me and the children I watch. (Besides Tyy, the neighbor's son) Due to the nature of some of the dogs accross the fence. The past year the tension between our families has grown. Txxxx and I had an arugument last year about defunding the police. She told me she doesn't care for police and her dogs are her protection. I disagreed with her and that is what manley started the hate she has towards me. She told me "Nobody will come between me and my dogs" Because of our disagreement, I have been called names, harrasses by Txxxx, if she has company over they have harrased me. She loudly calls my dog vicious and blames us for every misshap that happens with the dogs. They have thrown objects over the fence at my dog,and if my dog would get too close to the fence line, Jxxx would squirt our dog with thier powerful water shooter. The tension and freedom of enjoying our yard has progressivley gotten worse. Joe my boyfriend of 10 years and who has resided here has always told me not to report these to keep peace and he would handle the situation. Joe and Jxxx would try to come up with ways to keep peace with the dogs. My concern wasn't about the dogs barking, it was about feeling safe in my own back yard with small children and how they lack accountability for their dogs' behaviors. The dogs barking was/is about a 10-20 second bark. No matter what the misshap was this family always has and still blame our dog, me or my family for their dogs' issues. Dog's barking, their dogs fighting, dogs showing aggression etc.... Txxxx constinday harrasses me and it has gotten pretty extreme. She blasts me on social media, texts my adult children, texts Joe, calls me names, yells at me to move out of my house etc..... I personally had to block their phone numbers from my phone and from social media... these being personal personal or regarding dogs. I only tell you some of this so you might understand the fear I live in daily with so much negative energy. It is a proven fact that Dogs feel their owner's energy, and I can tell you this, her dogs feed off her energy towards us. As I do daycare my question is, would you build a daycare next to a dog kennel where there is a shared fence? a history of dog aggression? I do daycare and this continues to scare me daily.
