Dam that photo nailed it.
I can’t stand a busybody neighbor. Let’s face it they got nothing better to do or they would be doing something else.
I’m sure the dog getting to be relieved during the middle of the day was quite a tall tale for this person to go on about to anyone willing and in range. The hens sure will be talking a while about this one! Did you know that neighbor walks his dog outside –gasp!
Kudos to you for doing what is best for him.
