Can I use my Soap box to beat my new neighbor over the head. The day was starting off so nice and peaceful as I was taking it easy riding "Sugar" my Black paint broodmare along the length of our creek. It was about two hours in and I heard off in the distance towards the house a cry of HELP. It was a woman's voice and it sounded like my wife so of course I galloped back home, only to find not my wife or any injured person but our newest city transplant. She was yelling, help to get my attention as was wondering if any of my Goats were for sale. I just stared at her breathing heavy with my eye twitching with anger building. My poor Sugar was heaving for breath as she hadn't done a good long gallop in awhile. The young lady looked at me with an almost impatient look and if it wasn't for my self control and me knowing its not right to hit a lady, I would of walloped her.
I in not so many words told get to get the BLANK OFF my property and not to come back.

My poor horse was shivering and coming down from all the excitement as I took her into a stall. Took off all her tack and put a blanket on her as I gently massaged her legs as she is my oldest horse and my first. I gave her some Oats as I heard a rumbling truck come up my driveway.
I thought, who the heck is it now.

It was Mr. Stupid Neighbor.

I hadn't even gone out to see who it was, he just came into the barn. He asked me if I was the one who cussed at his wife, too which I looked our the doorway to see who his wife was and said Yup.

"I know what your thinking, are you trying to get into a fight."
He though irritated asked why I did that and I kindly explained and at the end told him you don't just go onto someones land and yell out help, someone might think you are injured and ACTUALLY NEED IT.
The husband seemed to get it but was still mad at how I treated his lady, which I suppose I understand. I still had no intentions on appologizing, which is exactly what he's wife wanted, lol.
This is when the husband tripped the wrong button in me.
He actually couldn't understand why I was so concerned about my horse as he said they are suppose to run long distances....
I then gave him the same phrase I gave his wife, too which he actually said NO. I just smiled a quietly chuckled a bit. I went to leave the barn but he blocked my path, so I gave him one more warning to get off my land or else. Mr. Stupid didn't follow my warning... I yelled out for Chief and Raven and in seconds those dogs were out of the house and on his heels as he ran right past his truck and wife in said truck and down the driveway and off my property,

The really funny part was that he had to keys so I eventually let him back up to his truck so he could drive away. I have now put a NO Trespassing sign on my driveway gate.

Oh my... Some people's idiocy just amazes me!

Send'em on over.

The lizard is in rut. The 176 lb mastiff is feeling grumpy today (it's raining) and my throat hurts. I havent had meat in a couple days, and I am growing fangs.

Between me, the lizard and the mastiff......we can handle it.

Someone please tell Plato to hide somewhere - The Queen of the Lil' Snots is on a rampage!

Trespassing is just that trespassing. You did right. And your dogs did right. He and she were warned and you did what you needed to do.

People are nuts. Seriously. I am finding myself getting away from people and more towards animals. At least you know where you stand with an animal.

Some very, very strange people out there. DH always tells me, it takes all kinds to make a world, and don't ever be surprised.

Yes, thats true. Most of the new neighbors are good people just looking for the quiet life.

Now on to a bigger subject the wife and I had a rather large argument last night, which led to her sleeping at her friends house. She did something I considered very dishonest, "No not an affair". She had already preordered much of the cabinets, counters and new wood floor as she was so confident on convincing me to remodel the kitchen. I only found this out, when she slipped up during a conversation we were having over counter colors as we often agree on the same things but I wanted a darker color and she got frusterated and blurted out, she had already ordered them. Man did the tempers flare after that and some unfortunate side comments on boths sides....Women.

Sorry to hear about the fight but I have to agree with you that "preordering" something without discussing with a spouse is a little bit underhanded. Basically she felt that she could twist you to her way of thinking. Just my opinion on this. DH and I never do that. It's always a discussion first before any purchase is made. I guess I'm not like other women because I would never think of doing something like that to my husband. Or would my husband think of doing something like that to me. DH calls me even when he's buying a $5 dollar item. Open communication stops tempers flaring.

Hope things cool down for both of you. And nothing was truly said (side comments) that will fester and come back later to bite.

I have to agree, she shouldn't have done it. But it is done and now you have to go on. I suggest forgiveness and a please don't do it again.

Tresspassing neighbors can suck! Maybe you were a little quick tempered and perhaps explaining the situation may have been a better response. BUT I understand completly why you reacted the way you did. You put your horse at risk over nothing. I would have been P***ED off too.

On a big expense like that you definitely have to agree first when you're married. Question - who does the cooking, you or the wife?


I've never had anyone just show up on my property like that, it would probably annoy me and if they yelled Help it would definitely anger me if they didn't need it. I arranged a farm visit for my 100th FB fan...they're very excited to "come play with my animals"...hope that one doesn't bite me in the rear though I plan to educate them not yell at them

Yes, she does most if not all the cooking and yes, she is an awesome cook. She is just a bit too impulsive at times. Even if we do agree on many things and she is gorgeous. Oh, who am I kidding I already sent roses to her office. We will hopefully have a more civilized chat this afternoon or evening.
