Wish me luck, everyone. Today's the day we're supposed to FINALLY go to court to testify against the neighbor for his yappy dogs. After many delays and distractions, this is finally supposed to be IT.
I'm going into it knowing that nothing's going to happen. The guy's mother will be sitting at the freaking bench. She works there. The prosecutor should ask for a change of venue, but I doubt he will, and he's not taking my calls so I can suggest it.
So, due to the guy's ties to the city, I'm pretty sure they're going to hear my testimony, and the police officers' (the many that have stood on my porch in the wee hours listening to it), and my neighbors, who have all lived with it as long as I have.... and they're going to dismiss it and send us all home. I'm preparing myself for that, so that it won't hit me so hard when it happens.
At 6pm USA central tonight, please send those well-wishes my way, I beg of you. Cross your fingers, toes and eyes for me, light candles, rub a lucky rabbit's foot. Whatever you've got, I can use it.

Good luck Lepp. I hope it works out your way. If not bring a little extra cash to "accidentally" toss in the judges direction :wink:
Keep us posted!

The judge is our local Mayor, who's stood in my yard himself and seen and heard the ruckus with his own eyes and ears. But I'm still convinced that we're all going to be sent home. And if that happens, the city will never spend the time or money filing charges they can't win. The guy's Scott-free and the city won't touch him. My cynical nature tells me that's the only reason they're charging him at all, so that they can dismiss it and shrug me off. "Hey. There's nothing we can do. Sorry."

How long has this been going on for and what finally brought it to court?

Good luck, Lepp!

I am finally watching the season 3 premiere of Under the Dome. Mighty confusing so far! 2 different timelines going on or what? I have stayed out of the threads about it so far.

But I did laugh out loud at Big Jim saying to Julia
"Why? Got a hair appointment?" :rofl:

Want to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday weekend. Big hugs and positive vibes to all! :love_heart:

It's been going on for at least 3 years. I've been asking for them to charge the guy for that long, but they've hemmed and hawed around it. "Let me talk to him," the police guy says, a personal friend of the family. Like I've said, neighbor's mom works at town hall. And then nothing happens. A dog gets loose. They howl at all hours of the night. The police come out, time and time again. Still nothing happens.
I think they only finally charged him so that they can brush me off when the case gets dismissed. As it is, they charged him in January, and we're only getting around to court in July.

Trust me Cat, you're not the only one who is confused by this....Once you watch and check out the UTD thread you will see that there is MUCH discussion about Julias hair ;-D
You have a great weekend too!

Wow. 3 years?! I am sorry to hear that. I feel bad for you and the dogs! Maybe if they had a better owner they wouldn't howl so damn much.

I don't blame the pups a bit. It's not their fault they're kept in such cramped conditions.
It really chaps my a$$ to hear that. WHY is there not more punishment for animal cruelty?? I hate that our pets/family members are considered "property" Pretty sure they can feel pain, happiness, sadness just like us.

Good Luck. Hopefully his ties with the city won't won't have anything to do with the case.

A reminder to all pet owners.......... your companion does not understand the idea of celebrating the 4th with fireworks. To them it is something loud and very scary and they also feel the vibrations.

Please, so not leave them unattended in a yard- they will be very afraid. Take a little extra time to make them feel secure. Thankee.
I am pet sitting over this holiday and the pups are inside and safe. But the kitty is an outdoor girl, and I'm concerned.

While you are on the stand, make sure everyone in the court knows that the mother is the guys mom so it becomes part of the OFFICIAL record. What is said in court HAS TO go on record, they can't just listen to you and then , oops, forgot about it.
