When I think about it I find it even funnier, as perro may like the taste of child
still I thought my rapid thought was rather good for a moments panic notice

silly, you should have let your dg eat the grandchild :P

seriously they should have asked first specially with the dogs being in and out, so dont worry about it, its your property n if they take a paddy because of it then tuff on them

better ou have told them than one of the dogs harm the child, you did the right thing,

even if you did mess the translation up a bit haha x

C There is no need for me to peace make I may have got the words wrong slightly but I did say excuse me,sorry and thankyou once the child was removed from my pitch, and it was in their interest. Mind if I go cake making I just might cause a war between us lol

They could make life awkward for me but then that goes both ways !

lol Muffy even I wouldn't dance to the Birdie song. It isn't bothering me and I still have all my windows and doors open ..mind she has given up so I think it got to her more than me lol

I can't be bothered to argue the toss about him wandering on to our pitch but I do think he was rather stupid to put the child over, they know my dogs. Maybe because they have been there all weekend he thought it would be ok and to be fair to him he did move the child rather quickly once I said they don't like the taste !lol

As one who has had problems with neighbours before may I suggest that a little peace making is in order perhaps ? I totally agree with what you did and he should have asked but maybe bake a cake and take it around or something. I only say this as the Grandmother sounds like she could make things awkward for you otherwise, and the fact your Spanish isn't 100% could inflame things somewhat....just a thought....that or go dance like Muffy said unless your dancing is REALLY bad and then they may be insulted =0)

They'd be the first ones shouting their heads off if their grandchild got hurt by your dogs.

He had no right to be on your property...let alone bringing a child onto it too.

Had anything happened he'd only have himself to blame...though some people are just too daft to see it.

If I were you I'd be dancing to her loud music in the garden to show her it didn't bother me ...but I'm a bit childish like that lol x

My neighbours have been painting the side of their wall. It's actually a nice colour and makes my van look much cosier on the inside ...
Anyway the painting of the wall involves them climbing over my fence and walking down the side of my van which they do with out a please may I or thankyou. I just shrug and let them get on with it.
UNTIL today when over he climbs complete with grandaughter age about 3 now it's a nice day and my doors are open so the mutts can come and go, My little one is a child hater and already dislikes the grandaughter so I stuck my head out of the window whilst hanging on to 2 dogs, dragged all my Spanish together and said

Nino No ....El perro no tiene gusto nino .....

the dog no like taste of children ...upps well they got the message and grandaughter was removed crying

I really should learn more Spanish lol
