I would find a recording of a dog barking, whining, etc. and add it to your iPod.
Then whenever you leave the house, set it to play very very loud, over and over and over and over and over.
She'll call to complain about your dog barking. The authorities who deal with such things will pay you a visit. You'll say "dog? what dog? we have no dog."
Eventually she will be sent to the looney bin.
Play the song "who let the dogs out?" full blast on your stereo!
Yep, sounds like you oughta start pushing her buttons and watch her have a stroke or maybe she'll just move out.
Nothing illegal. Just show her what kind of an ass she could have for a neighbor..........
Make it a game. Don't get mad. Get even.

I am planning to download some dog barking, if she wants to continously try to send me insane then it's only far for me to repay the favour!
I do feel better for finally standing up for myself, over the past four years she has pushed too many buttons and I just exploded... I shook for two hours after it happened, but I am feeling empowered so watch out anyone who want's a piece of the sprout!
Carrot wants a donkey for the back garden, could you imagine what that would do to her??? We would just say it's a big dog. lol!
Peace
Move or put up with it. It's your choice and you have to live with your choices.
Shamus I would love to move, but it's just not financially possible at the moment... Plus we have put up with her for the past four years... There comes a time where enough is enough. She keeps putting her house up for sale but they can't sell it. Awww my heart bleeds. Although I would love her to move out, she can go bother someone else.
Peace
I am so sorry I have had neighbours like her and it is very, very upsetting. I am so sorry you are having to deal with this.

I just want to give a different perspective. I certainly don't know the details....nor would I pretend....but a couple years ago...I found myself if YOUR NEIGHBOR's shoes.
Our next door neighbor got a dog and staked it in their backyard on a leash. It would bark and bark and bark. Sometimes they would bring it inside....sometimes not. But one day I gave them an earful. It was their barking dog that kept my infant from taking a nap. We had to shut all windows, play a baby Einstein disk and buy a fan and turn it on high to make enough white noise to drown out the dog's howling. The point being....if they had just taken the time to realize that a dog's barking can indeed be a nuissance (especially when children are trying to sleep)....perhaps they would have done the right thing and inconvenienced themselves by bringing the dog inside rather than inconveniencing all the neighbors.
This isn't meant to be a knock on you. I say that because two years before we had kids.....WE found a stray (we called him brown dog - very original). We did the same loving thing you did and took him in as our pet temporarily. Yes he barked. And yes a neighbor called me out about it. Granted....he did so in a more civilised manner than what it sounds like your neighbor did.....but still....I took exception. I remember thinking..."who is THIS guy to tell me when to put my dog in or out? Does he not have a heart for strays?" Turns out....he had a small child that was trying to take a nap. It was only after I was in the same position as he was in that I realized that it was my civic duty to take in that stray dog and do the right thing.....but it was also my duty to make sure that dog doesn't disturb others.
Thank you LITS.
Outsmart I can totally see where you are coming from and I would feel the same with you, but the thing is our dog very rarely barked. She was deaf and had cataracts on both eyes. The poor thing, if sat by the front door would jump out of her skin if the post came through as it would land on her. She would walk into the doors, she was funny... Next door would continously phone the agents and complain of this excessive barking when I would have been at home all day and the dog was in the house. I stop a dog barking, as a couple of times is ok to let me know someone is at the door or if they want to come in from outside... The way she acts, it is as if I have a dog chained up outside to bark it's brains out.
What did show her nuttiness was when she was going on about this barking dog (before the stray) she was blaming Nellie... Now unless Nellie was haunting her during the ten weeks she has passed then she has really lost the plot!
We have always been peaceable, helpful and kind to her, but i'm done with all that now. The look on her face was priceless when I lost my temper, she really wasn't expecting it. Lol.
Peace
Did you have to put Nellie down? It is so much worse when YOU have to make that horrible decision. :(
She sounds like a horrible person. Why don't you invite her to this board. I think we have an opening for a troll. She'd make a good one.
