There was a woman living next to my house. She had a big dog. Every morning she used to let the dog loose near my side of the fence.
Slowly, my plants started getting damaged. Soil everywhere. Some flowers completely gone. At first, I thought maybe street dogs or kids. But one day I saw it clearly. Her dog was digging near my plants while she was standing there, on phone.
I told her once, very politely. She said, “Dogs do these things,” and laughed a little. After that, nothing changed.
I fixed the plants again. Put small fence. Still, whenever her dog came out, somehow it ended up damaging my side. She never stopped it.
So I stopped saying anything.
Instead, I started watering my plants very early in the morning. Extra water. The ground near the fence stayed muddy for hours.
After few days, her dog came again. This time it slipped in the mud and got fully dirty. She had to clean it, wash the floor, everything.
This happened more than once.
After that, she stopped bringing the dog near my side. My plants are fine now.
I never said anything again. She also never laughed again.
