font-family:Arial'>They threw eggs on our new roof, scattered dog food all
along the street so I could hardly walk my dogs, plastered the mail box with
mayonnaise. Yelled at me if I walked by their house. We even
installed security cameras, a HUGE expense, but NEVER were able to catch
them!! It was VERY stressful. Finally, my husband threatened to
beat the guy up if he ever said or did one more thing. He met him in the street
in front of our house as he was walking his dogs past our house. That ended
it!! They always did things when my husband was at work. After he
confronted him, it was OVER! Last week, THEY FINALLY MOVED!! A HUGE
answer to prayer!!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>My three, Tilly, Phoebe and Harvey usually get along
fine. Tilly was alone for 6 months after our other basset died,
(Caseymae) as we got the other two dogs, Tilly was snarly to both at
first. And I had to be very careful when they were together for the first
several months, never leaving them alone without being in crates. She has
remained the Alpha through the years. At times, she still has her
moments, if she is stepped on or wakened, she will snarl at either. <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Harvey</st1:City></st1:place> likes to play rough
with her the best, they are both short legged, sometimes she gets tired
and goes after him when she has had enough. Then <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Harvey</st1:City></st1:place> will seemingly go after Phoebe, for no
reason at all! Or, once in a while, we will have a fight at a doorway,
either coming or going from the fenced dog area! <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Harvey</st1:City></st1:place> is testing the boundaries and is
always last to come in. Sometimes <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Harvey</st1:City></st1:place>
will go after Phoebe, our most docile and submissive, during treat time, trying
to get her treat out of her mouth. Usually <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Harvey</st1:City></st1:place> will not do that if Tilly is sitting
next to him. Phoebe is the lowest in the chain of command, hiding behind
the couch at times to get away from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Harvey</st1:City></st1:place>.
Out in the fenced area, Harvey and Phoebe will do the basset 500 many times
without Tilly, now 8 yrs and back legs wobbly at times.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I never can be sure when a snarl will happen
unexpectedly! Grandkids upset them, workers in the house,
stress in the family with all of Dave’s illnesses and being left alone
long hours with dog sitters coming in. Anyway, they have been a
HUGE Blessing during Dave’s illnesses because their schedules remain the
same, when so much else has changed. Walking each one separately brings
me so much stress relief! And it was so nice to come home to them after
long hours at the hospital.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
