Been there done that(dirt road,pit bulls and theft)!
Let me fast forward you about a decade.
The wife left the drunken woman beater.
The thief is doing twenty with no parole.
The little **** boys grew up and moved away from drunk daddy.
The school bus mashed three different pit bulls( I worked with the bus driver).
Drunk daddys health has failed to the extent he signed the property over to the young daughter for her help with his care.
Young daughter likes small dogs and does good keeping them outta the road.
Threats, warrants, altercations, civil conversations, hand gestures did nothing but fuel the fire.
One responding officer told me to totally ignore them, they'd find someone else to feud with...felt sorry for a couple sets of new neighbors...but they took the heat until the rotten family caused their own demise.
Ignore...Ignore...Ignore!! I still don't look that way when passing just outta habit.
