Should I sell my best mate?

I'm not sure if it's a Comedy or a Horror movie I'm currently in...(it's at least a Drama).

So if you've read the start of this thread you'd know I turned down a $12,000 offer for my dog from the neighbours.

When I turned the offer down to them, things got a little bit...shall we say... a very big bit 'strange'. Strange enough for me to let them say their final goodbye to my dog as I decided to keep her chained up at my house for the last 2 weeks before I moved house this weekend. (I surmised that dogs have gone 'missing' for less money).

So here's where the possible 'comedy or horror' comes in....
I run my dog every day on my bicycle from 6-7.30pm. Have done this for a couple of years.
On Saturday I'm running the dog beside my bicycle, travelling along a rural tar-sealed road with usually no cars.
However, as I'm going around a very sweeping left I notice a car behind me. I can't see the car but I can hear and somewhat feel it's very close and for some reason not passing.
This is unusual but I think to myself that some car drivers are extra careful/slow when passing bicycles with dogs.

Slowly the car pulls up beside the dog and I... I look to my right and there is my 'nutty neighbour' (henceforth known as 'NN').
So NN comes level with my dog who is just ahead of my bike and yells out:
"Hello Sweetheart!"
"Hello Sweetheart!"
"Hello Sweetheart!"
Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?

And yes she is NOT calling out to me...that I'm sure of. :thumbsup:
And the even crazier thing is that NN has done this same stunt on every one of my dog/bike rides since Saturday....that's four days in a row!

I don't know what to think.
It's somewhat like that Steven King movie 'Misery'. With my NN being Kathy Bates' character (they do have a strange resemblance).

Suffice to say I have started wearing my bicycle helmet...

Fuk me thats a stalker problem you have there.

I wouldn't go that far...
....(but I did give the name of the NN to my mother and said if my body is found on the side of the road without my dog you know who did it) :D :oh noes:

NN sounds like she wants to wear your skin

Yeah a movie double feature - 'Misery' then followed by 'Silence of the Lambs'

Four more days and counting until I move...

Sounds like you need to take the dog for a run somewhere different for a few weeks so NN can't continue to 'bump into you both'

That's weird and scary....

I would change the time you take the dog out. Although if she is watching your house that wont help as she will see when you leave. I would either take the dog somewhere else or stop going out for the last few days before you move.

As others have said, change your routine.
I would also talk to NN's husband to let him know what's happening, he may have no idea and may be able to prepare her for when you move and let you know later if your dog just "happens" to turn up at your place.

Borrow someone else's dog and take that for a run instead, tell her it is the same dog and she must be having memory issues. See if you can borrow a few dogs to do it with. Take a cat out for a run as well. Even a shopping trolley.

Even better put the dog on the bike and run along beside it

honestly I would tell her it died when once you move....sounds creep AF

Yeah, I suppose I do have to try to see the lighter side of this drama...
... here I am in my single life finding it difficult to even get a date and yet my dog has a stalker :D

Another thing is my other neighbour's dog across the road has had 8 puppies he is trying to give away.
I mentioned to the husband to get NN one of those so she can transfer the love for my dog onto it.
But his reply was: "She doesn't want a new puppy as she feels it is far too soon....that she is still getting over the heartbreak of not being with 'insert my dog's name'.
He then added that my dog "seems to have entered her DNA and so she is just living one day at a time at the moment'.

Bloody hell it's crazy!
Jean Paul Satre was right... "Hell is other people".

Go for 25K

Id be running away from that situation fast. I know the lady has her problems but its got nut case written all over it. Sorry but Im a spades a spade type of guy.

It rubs the lotion on its skin

I think it depends on how much you ''NEED'' the money , like you have to feed the children sort of thing . To me a dog was a tool , the same as a nice shot gun or rifle . But the old man and myself breed curly coats and sold a lot of pups .
The original bitch and dog we would never have sold for any money , not because of the money side of things but they where life long companions to us . So it's a good question but a hard one .

Any updates Hermitage?.
I've not seen anything on the news about deranged neighbour kidnapping a family dog?.

A boarding kennel for a few days, until the move might be prudent. Secret the dog away and out of danger from an obviously deranged person.

Just my two-bits. I've suffered a lot of nuts. ;)

This is a highly entertaining read, I hope your move went well & you and doggo are living a peaceful life without NN following you down the road......

Na she lives with him now, it's just he doesn't know as she is living in the walls :XD:
