[quote=Anonymous]Our new neighbor has two kids the same age as mine - 4 and almost 7.  I take my kids and our dogs down to a cleared area in the woods behind the house every afternoon to throw balls for our dogs.  We all have a great time.  Other kids also come down and play and there are some days where there will be a couple of moms, three or four dogs and a pack of kids playing and throwing balls and running around.  It is one of the things that I love about the neighborhood.  Yesterday the new kids came down (think they moved in at the winter break) to play and things were fine until one of my dogs tried to bring a ball to the new 7 year old.  The little girl screamed and the Mom, who was just coming down the path, went NUTS.  Started yelling about the leash law and calling the police and vicious animals.  My kids started crying, our dogs started barking and hiding behind my kids, and I just stood there kind of apologizing and trying to get everyone to calm down.  I know that we are technically "breaking the law" by letting the dogs get the balls, but it's become such a nice meeting and playing time for the rest of the neighbors that I can't help but be upset with her.  I'm still upset about this because I feel guilty, but I also feel she overreacted because she doesn't understand dogs.[/quote]
