Neighborhood pettiness

Tweet

I am staying out of it but I just had to vent! We live on a cul-de-sac with 10 houses. 2 neighbors at the end have started a childish feud between them, well at least I think it is childish. One of the neighbors (Debbie) has 2 dogs, these dogs love to bark at the stray cats and such that roam in the other neighbor's yard. She lets her dogs out very early in the morning to do their business, she delivers papers so she is gone from about 2am until about 6am. Well the dogs bark and bark and wake up the other neighbor. So the older neighbor (Janna) called the police about the barking dogs and signed a complaint against her. So Debbie called the police on her and made a complaint about the trucks being parked in the yard. Janna's hubby is a plumber with 3 or 4 work trucks. So the police had to come out again and write a report about the trucks and issue a warning about them being parked on the grass. So Janna calls me and asks if I had seen the police and told me the whole sorry story, she than threatened to make a DHS report against Debbie (her child is the one I have written about before). I am so tired of all the drama going on in my life that other people create! I swear I am just going to lock myself inside my house and never talk to anyone again. I know little over the top reaction but all this drama is killing me. I am always the peacemaker but I feel like I can't take it anymore. Do that make sense? I don't like being put in the middle and feeling like I have to choose between 2 friends. How would you handle this? By the way.. thanks for letting me vent!
