I loved this because I've experienced something like it!! Years ago, an "English" woman knocked on our door to inquire about the empty, 5 bedroom, white brick home next door to us. She seemed nice and we gave her the 'names' to call.

She moved in with 5 dogs. Within 2 years she had 25 dogs, 17 cats, and a pot-belly pig! She built 3 - 10 foot chain link kennels, which towered over the 6 foot privacy fence she built after we kept calling the police because of barking and the smell.

I could write an article as long as Red-neck neighbor about all the things she did. Thankfully she's gone now. We later learned she was living here on an expired visa, and the police never did anything about it!!

LOL, I was just 'previewing' this and saw your 'name'!

I could identify with this too,
probably my worst neighbors(and at times my best)were the corpus christi "texicans"
I lived next to in Homestead fla.in the mid 80's.
A Friday night with out good natured gunfire was a rarity.
