He should just keep the dog chained in the basement, what happens if the wench hops the fence and then makes it to the backyard. Hell I like to think I have the right to use my own bedroom, should give that up too.
I could go off on that one as well. You would assume that you could legally park in your own driveway. Well, you get a ticket here for that one. I'm getting totally dramatic on that, there's a lot more to it, but it's a different story for a different day. I did catch your sarcasm and I agree. As jgln said, it doesn't really make a good point, but I get what you're saying. If she stays on the sidewalk, and my dog stays in the yard, there's no reason why we all can't get along. My dog has lived here for over 6 years, she hasn't ever bitten anyone and I wouldn't expect her to unless the situation legitimately warranted it. But this puts her at risk, and by default, me as well. And if I give that up, then where does it end? I bought the property, it's in my name, not the city's. But I still have kind of a beef about the easement. I technically don't own it but I have to maintain it? And the sidewalk too? WTF? I'll take that one, but I won't give up my backyard.
