Man neighbors suck sometimes. Opinions?

And that's how it should be. I've had several county sheriff deputys tell me to just shoot stray dogs in my yard.....but make sure I kill them and bury them. Then they turn around and say "you didn't hear that from me". Fact is, most cities and counties are stretch way too thin to have to worry about stupid animal woes. Our county is almost 400 square miles. Our county animal control has 4 people on staff. LOL

The best (all) neighbors live at least 10 miles away. My life has always been this way.

Last fall I moved to Tx to be with the love of my life. We live 5 miles out of a small town on 5 ac. . Neighbor to the West live on 10 ac with her 2 grown sons and some pit bulls, which came on our property and killed my 2 min. dachunds. long story, but they basically don't care. they put up a fence and I have not found their dog off their property since, although it can get thru.

MY desire is to kill that dog. Tx has pretty strict laws against such. But, only reason I have not done so anyway, is we have 2 cow dogs and these "neighbors" would no doubt poison ours to get back.

When my wife retires in 2 years, we will sell out and MOVE. Yep, NO neighbors within 10 miles. All stray dogs bigger than my dogs will get shot. Sorry.
