Like I said, I'm pretty sure my roommate talked to them while I was stashing the dog in the bathroom, but that was my entire conversation with the officer.
As to the dog, that's horrible but I could see it happen, my dog will eat anything put in front of her.
[Update] Apparently the up front neighbor isn't just crazy, she's litigious! One day while washing the dog in the yard, I heard yelling, so I walked out front to see what the commotion was. The argument broke up pretty quick, but I heard crazy lady say "We'll see what my lawyer thinks about this."
Apparently, anyone she gets mouthy with is served with a restraining order. I thought there was a burden of proof applied to restraining orders, but apparently this madam gets em like candy.
Apparently she wasn't paying her rent, and served her roommate with a restraining order.
Brilliant bless'ed plan.
