They let their new puppy outside without a leash and it just comes over to my property and gets into my things that aren't confined to my fence and scares my ducks. This puppy is a pit and is going to get huge. I'm afraid it'll get to my birds or dogs.

How do I tell the super trashy people that own the dog to tie it tf up? I don't want to make enemies with these people, but they need to get their shit together.

They're the only people on the street who don't have their dog fenced in or on a time-out/leash. The road is incredibly busy so the dog is liable to get hit really quick if it decides to run into the street.

As a person with trashy neighbours who think they own the street, study how they talk to each other when they want something done then talk to them like that.

I tried being civil with my neighbours, but nothing, then one day I had a shitty day and had enough, walked to the edge of my drive, looked directly at their house and screamed " GET YOUR FUCKING SHIT OFF MY SIDE OF THE STREET OR ILL MOVE IT INTO THE FUCKING RIVER!" walked back inside and about 30 minutes later everything was moved, they behave most the time now, but whenever they try shit again I just do the same thing.

If they're also really loud and you can hear general conversations, make sure to repeat something they know they've said, let's them know you know more about them then they do about you.

I am not doing that. I don't want to make enemies of these folks. They've had the cops called on them by a different neighbor once already for a domestic dispute. I have no doubt that they own guns.

It sounds like you have a gun gap

Have you considered buying artillery?
