Advice on my Nosiey Neighbors?

Tweet

So I live in an apartment. Above me lives and elderly women and her husband. Well the leasing center called me a few months ago and told me they had a complaint that I was feeding a stray cat and that my dog barked when people walked by. However the leasing lady is a friend so she said just don't feed the cat and of course dogs bark keep him as quiet as possible. Since then I have been very good about keeping him quiet and he only barks when someone new enters the building which is a security really. I als stopped feeding the cat and we took it the shelter where it was adopted. So about three days ago my neighbor is out on her balcony while I was walking my dog and the baby that I watch. Here is the conversation as best I rember it: Me- How are you? Her- Not good hun, yesterday there was a very strong urine odor comming from down there. Could you make sure to walk the dog away from the building? Me- Oh, I never walk the dog down here we always go over in the woods where all the other dogs in the neighborhood go. Her-Oh well it was so bad we had to shut our windows. Me- Well I don't know why I mean their are a few dogs that go in the feild accross the street that might be why! (keep in mind it does not smell like anything) Her- Well I noticed your windows where open. Is it comming from your apartment? Me- No, my dog is three years old and fully trained he has never had an accident in the house. Her-Well we never smelled it before you moved in. Is it that cat you where feeding? Me- No the office told me I was not allowed to feed the cat so I took it to the spca to get adopted. Her- Oh well that was sweet hun. I know you feel bad for them but the urin attracts rodents (not ture the food does not the animal or the urine) I was highly offended at this point and she continues to ask wquestions about the baby I watch and so forth. She also mentioned that my dog cries for a fe w minutes after I leave. She the says. Her- Well we all pay good money to live here and it is important we respect one another and where we live. Me-Oh I know I have been living in apartments for the last 5 years. Where we disrespectful to you? Her- Well just when you let you dog pee ther. Me-We never let the dog pee any where near the building. We know that is against the lease. Her- Well thats good hun because if it becomes a problem we will have to call the landlord. Me- Okay well you do what you have to do but my dog has never peed out frount. Honestly he has NEVER peed out frount and he has Never peed in the house. I called my friend at the office and she said don't worry about it that women complains all the time and she knows I walk my dog all over becasue she see's me. Well this is long sorry. The other day I had the baby outside an it was misting but she was all bundled up and it was only for a minute or two she never got wet. She stopped me and said hun, yyou should not have that baby out there she will get sick. Next time come up and get me and I will watch her in your apartment for you. That &*^%$ just wants to see in here and sniff around I bet. So now everytime I go out there she is peeking out her window it is so annoying. Plus if she complains to much about the baby I may not be able to watch her here even though she is a very quiet and happy baby. I am pissed and don't know what to do. I know I should not worry to much because the people who work for the apartments all know me and say they have my back but I just don't even want to talk to her. Plus everytime she see's me with the baby she asks when are you going to have one. Knowing full well we are not allowed to have one in a one bedroom apartment. Plus until this weekend it was a very sesative subject for me becasue I really wanted on and hubby was unsure. Anyway now that I have rambled. What would you do? I guess I should just echnor her but how. She makes it imposible. Any advice would be exclent. Thank you! Also I would love to hear your nosiey neighbor stories!
