Robert Frost said, "Good fences make good neighbors." I'm not so sure.
We share a field/woods with our new neighbors in rural Sumner County, TN. Our 2 large dogs have run on this property long before they moved in, and it has been a mutual unspoken "OK" between neighbors until now. One of our neighbors even runs his cattle and goats on this property from time to time without asking permission, and he doesn't own any of it! I got a phone call from them yesterday saying that they don't want our dogs in their pond anymore (city people ... sheesh!). :no:
Is it their responsibility to erect a fence to keep animals off their property, or our responsibility to keep our dogs on our property? This is a huge expense! They have created this new restriction. We don't have the problem ... they do.
Please point us in the right direction. Thank you, et
