We're having neighbor issues!!!

There is a small house on our property that my aunt rents out. It's "her" house because my uncle and her lived there as newlyweds although my family pays all the taxes on it. The houses plot is smaller than most houses in town and the renters have no right to anything off of that plot. My aunt consistently gets the crappiest renters for this house.

This current renter is a "teacher" that was fired halfway through the school year. they've actually been one of the better renters, but then the little girl made a comment that reall irked me. She said they were going to shoot our cats!!! Admittedly we have a cat problem, but the cats say away from the neighbores and for the love of all that is holy they are OUR cats.

A few minutes ago I hea gun shots from the neighbores and see him pointing a gun out in our field. He probably thinks no one was home since there isn't any cars here. If he has shot any of my cats I will bring all the wrath I am capable of down upon his head.

Update? I hope all is well and maybe you can get new neighbors

I didn't find any cats but I am still pretty peeved that he was shooting on to our property. I am hoping they'll move out soon. Most renters don't stay longer than eight months and they've been here about 6.

That's still NOT COOL! What if they were shooting in the direction of your house? I mean someone could get hurt! I would hate for that to happen...

Do you have a decent relationship with your aunt? If you do, I would ask if she could vet her renters a little better OR put up a fence around that lot! Crappy neighbors SUCK!

good luck and stay safe!

Thats horrible!!!! I hope everything works out for you, and none of your animals get injured!!!

I don't know what exactly he was doing but no one was hurt. Historically we've allowed the renters to shoot their guns on our property mainly at the pigeons who have taken over our shop. BUTit was always after they've asked permission and we've set out guide lines. He hasn't done it since though .



Any ways, we went and looked at a bull yak today. He was just over a year old and a real sweety. He will come up to get his head scratched. We also saw his daddy who was incredibly massive. That's one thing about yak bull they are probably 3xs the size of the cows.
They only wanted $ 1000 for the little guy because they really dont want to butcher him.

I don't know if we will purchase him. We kind of want a royal yak and this guys was imperial. It's highly unlikely we will find one though for this sort of price.

What is the difference between the two yaks? If I ever move to a colder climate state I am getting some yaks they are so awesome.

So, my mom just saw a large cat of some sort back behind our house . It was probably a cougar. They aren't very common but they've been seen around around here before. Their was one seen just north of us. We went looking for tracks and found several pathways and large holes in the snow but nothing that screamed cougar. The river and BLM land border our south boundary so my sister is going to take the dogs down there to see what they scare up.....

Our ewe who aborted lat year has some gunk on her rear so were keeping an eye on her. She's not acting ill like she did last year though.


I'm pretty certain this all happening because I'm leaving tomorrow.
