Neighbors calling police on us multiple times.

[tlmrdm]

We have been living in this neighborhood for 2 1/2 yrs now and had gotten along with our neighbors just fine. We have 2 dogs a purebred husky and a husky/golden retriever mix. Well out of the blue the cops showed up at our house one day as we are leaving for vacation. He said he had received a call about our dogs being underweight and not taken care of. He asked to see them and we showed him. He took one look at them and said that they looked perfectly healthy and look like they were being fed well. Then sometime later down the road the cops showed up again. They were called about our dogs again. Once again they looked at them and said they looked good and just to verify he had the Animal Humane Service come and look at them also. They agreed with him they looked fine, We have received mulitple phone calls from people that were babysitting for us and dog watching that the neighbors had been over there yelling at them and calling people threatening to call the police on us because of our dogs. Where we live dogs are suppose to be chained or leashed up while outside so we do that and comply with the rules. Its winter out and our husky loves the colder temp and snow and refuses to come in sometimes cause he would just like to stay out there. He has a dog house to go into in case he needs to (our dogs are indoor dogs) and food and water, Well yesterday he had only been out there for 2 hrs it was in the 30's and new fluffly snow which is the best type of weather he likes. All of a sudden we have a knock on our door and its another police officer. He asked us if we knew our dog was dead. We were extremely shocked cause he was in really good health. We found out that the same neighbors called them on us again, So with all of this I really want to know when is it considered harrassment when there has really been nothing wrong at all and the talking bad about us and coming on to our property to talk about us to dog watchers. One person watching them said they were really scared when he did this cause he came over yelling. Someone please tell me what I can do I have tried to be a good neighbor we're not loud if our dogs bark they come right in we don't have a trashy yard. Thank you so much for your time.

You can do as you've been doing, cooperate with law enforcement when they show up at your door.

The police will address these busy bodies all in due course!
